Genesis 6.5-8.22

3. And Jehovah said, My Spirit shall not strive with man for ever, for that he also is flesh: yet shall his days be a hundred and twenty years. 4. The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them: the same were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown.

5. And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6. And it repented Jehovah that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7. And Jehovah said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the ground; both man, and beast, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens; for it repenteth me that I have made them. 8. But Noah found favor in the eyes of Jehovah. 9. These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, and perfect in his generations: Noah walked with God. 10. And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 11. And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12. And God saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth. 13. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. 14. Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. 15. And this is how thou shalt make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. 16. A light shalt thou make to the ark, and to a cubit shalt thou finish it upward; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it. 17. And I, behold, I do bring the flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is in the earth shall die. 18. But I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee. 19. And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. 20. Of the birds after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive. 21. And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them. 22. Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he. 7:1. And Jehovah said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. 7:2. Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee seven and seven, the male and his female; and of the beasts that are not clean two, the male and his female: 7:3. of the birds also of the heavens, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. 7:4. For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living thing that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the ground. 7:5. And Noah did according unto all that Jehovah commanded him. 7:6. And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. 7:7. And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. 7:8. Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that creepeth upon the ground, 7:9. there went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noah. 7:10. And it came to pass after the seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. 7:11. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. 7:12. And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. 7:13. In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark; 7:14. they, and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort. 7:15. And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh wherein is the breath of life. 7:16. And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him: and Jehovah shut him in. 7:17. And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth. 7:18. And the waters prevailed, and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. 7:19. And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high mountains that were under the whole heaven were covered. 7:20. Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. 7:21. And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both birds, and cattle, and beasts, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: 7:22. all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of all that was on the dry land, died. 7:23. And every living thing was destroyed that was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only was left, and they that were with him in the ark. 7:24. And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days. 8:1. And God remembered Noah, and all the beasts, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged; 8:2. the fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained; 8:3. and the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters decreased. 8:4. And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat. 8:5. And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen. 8:6. And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made: 8:7. and he sent forth a raven, and it went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. 8:8. And he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground; 8:9. but the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him to the ark; for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her in unto him into the ark. 8:10. And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark; 8:11. and the dove came in to him at eventide; and, lo, in her mouth an olive-leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. 8:12. And he stayed yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she returned not again unto him any more. 8:13. And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dried. 8:14. And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dry. 8:15. And God spake unto Noah, saying, 8:16. Go forth from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee. 8:17. Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee of all flesh, both birds, and cattle, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth. 8:18. And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him: 8:19. every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatsoever moveth upon the earth, after their families, went forth out of the ark. 8:20. And Noah builded an altar unto Jehovah, and took of every clean beast, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar. 8:21. And Jehovah smelled the sweet savor; and Jehovah said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake, for that the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more everything living, as I have done. 8:22. While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. (Genesis 6:3-8:22, ASV)

3. Yahweh said, “My Spirit will not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; so his days will be one hundred twenty years.” 4. The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when God’s sons came in to men’s daughters and had children with them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

5. Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of man’s heart was continually only evil. 6. Yahweh was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart. 7. Yahweh said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the surface of the ground, man, along with animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky, for I am sorry that I have made them.” 8. But Noah found favor in Yahweh’s eyes. 9. This is the history of the generations of Noah: Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God. 10. Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 11. The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12. God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. 13. God said to Noah, “I will bring an end to all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them and the earth. 14. Make a ship of gopher wood. You shall make rooms in the ship, and shall seal it inside and outside with pitch. 15. This is how you shall make it. The length of the ship shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits. 16. You shall make a roof in the ship, and you shall finish it to a cubit upward. You shall set the door of the ship in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third levels. 17. I, even I, do bring the flood of waters on this earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is in the earth will die. 18. But I will establish my covenant with you. You shall come into the ship, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you. 19. Of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ship, to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female. 20. Of the birds after their kind, of the livestock after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort will come to you, to keep them alive. 21. Take with you some of all food that is eaten, and gather it to yourself; and it will be for food for you, and for them.” 22. Thus Noah did. He did all that God commanded him. 7:1. Yahweh said to Noah, “Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation. 7:2. You shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his female. 7:3. Also of the birds of the sky, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive on the surface of all the earth. 7:4. In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. I will destroy every living thing that I have made from the surface of the ground.” 7:5. Noah did everything that Yahweh commanded him. 7:6. Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came on the earth. 7:7. Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, because of the floodwaters. 7:8. Clean animals, unclean animals, birds, and everything that creeps on the ground 7:9. went by pairs to Noah into the ship, male and female, as God commanded Noah. 7:10. After the seven days, the floodwaters came on the earth. 7:11. In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep were burst open, and the sky’s windows were opened. 7:12. It rained on the earth forty days and forty nights. 7:13. In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship, 7:14. they, and every animal after its kind, all the livestock after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort. 7:15. Pairs from all flesh with the breath of life in them went into the ship to Noah. 7:16. Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; then Yahweh shut him in. 7:17. The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ship, and it was lifted up above the earth. 7:18. The waters rose, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters. 7:19. The waters rose very high on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered. 7:20. The waters rose fifteen cubits higher, and the mountains were covered. 7:21. All flesh died that moved on the earth, including birds, livestock, animals, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man. 7:22. All on the dry land, in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died. 7:23. Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including man, livestock, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ship. 7:24. The waters flooded the earth one hundred fifty days. 8:1. God remembered Noah, all the animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth. The waters subsided. 8:2. The deep’s fountains and the sky’s windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained. 8:3. The waters continually receded from the earth. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters decreased. 8:4. The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat’s mountains. 8:5. The waters receded continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were visible. 8:6. At the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made, 8:7. and he sent out a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth. 8:8. He himself sent out a dove to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground, 8:9. but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned into the ship to him, for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put out his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship. 8:10. He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship. 8:11. The dove came back to him at evening and, behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from the earth. 8:12. He waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to him anymore. 8:13. In the six hundred first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ship, and looked. He saw that the surface of the ground was dried. 8:14. In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry. 8:15. God spoke to Noah, saying, 8:16. “Go out of the ship, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives with you. 8:17. Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, including birds, livestock, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth.” 8:18. Noah went out, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives with him. 8:19. Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship. 8:20. Noah built an altar to Yahweh, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 8:21. Yahweh smelled the pleasant aroma. Yahweh said in his heart, “I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake because the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth. I will never again strike every living thing, as I have done. 8:22. While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.” (Genesis 6:3-8:22, WEB)

3. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

5. And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. ^{every: or, the whole imagination: the Hebrew word signifieth not only the imagination, but also the purposes and desires continually: Heb. every day} 6. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. ^{both: Heb. from man unto beast} 8. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. 9. These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. ^{perfect: or, upright} 10. And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 11. The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 13. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. ^{with the earth: or, from the earth} 14. Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. ^{rooms: Heb. nests} 15. And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. 16. A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it. 17. And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. 18. But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee. 19. And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. 20. Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive. 21. And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them. 22. Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he. 7:1. And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. 7:2. Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. ^{by sevens: Heb. seven seven} 7:3. Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. ^{by sevens: Heb. seven seven} 7:4. For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth. ^{destroy: Heb. blot out} 7:5. And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him. 7:6. And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. 7:7. And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. 7:8. Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth, 7:9. There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah. 7:10. And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. ^{after: or, on the seventh day} 7:11. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. ^{windows: or, floodgates} 7:12. And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. 7:13. In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark; 7:14. They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort. ^{sort: Heb. wing} 7:15. And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. 7:16. And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in. 7:17. And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth. 7:18. And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. 7:19. And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. 7:20. Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. 7:21. And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: 7:22. All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. ^{the breath: Heb. the breath of the spirit of life} 7:23. And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. 7:24. And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days. 8:1. And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged; 8:2. The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained; 8:3. And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated. ^{continually: Heb. in going and returning} 8:4. And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat. 8:5. And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen. ^{decreased: Heb. were in going and decreasing} 8:6. And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made: 8:7. And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. ^{to: Heb. in going forth and returning} 8:8. Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground; 8:9. But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark. ^{pulled: Heb. caused her to come} 8:10. And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark; 8:11. And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. 8:12. And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more. 8:13. And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry. 8:14. And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried. 8:15. And God spake unto Noah, saying, 8:16. Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee. 8:17. Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth. 8:18. And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him: 8:19. Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark. ^{kinds: Heb. families} 8:20. And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 8:21. And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. ^{a sweet: Heb. a savour of rest or, satisfaction for the imagination: or, through the imagination} 8:22. While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. ^{While: Heb. As yet all the days of the earth} (Genesis 6:3-8:22, KJV)

3. And Jehovah saith, 'My Spirit doth not strive in man, to the age; in their erring they [are] flesh:' and his days have been an hundred and twenty years. 4. The fallen ones were in the earth in those days, and even afterwards when sons of God come in unto daughters of men, and they have borne to them, they [are] the heroes, who, from of old, [are] the men of name.

5. And Jehovah seeth that abundant [is] the wickedness of man in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart only evil all the day; 6. and Jehovah repenteth that He hath made man in the earth, and He grieveth Himself, unto His heart. 7. And Jehovah saith, 'I wipe away man whom I have prepared from off the face of the ground, from man unto beast, unto creeping thing, and unto fowl of the heavens, for I have repented that I have made them.' 8. And Noah found grace in the eyes of Jehovah. 9. These [are] births of Noah: Noah [is] a righteous man; perfect he hath been among his generations; with God hath Noah walked habitually. 10. And Noah begetteth three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 11. And the earth is corrupt before God, and the earth is filled [with] violence. 12. And God seeth the earth, and lo, it hath been corrupted, for all flesh hath corrupted its way on the earth. 13. And God said to Noah, 'An end of all flesh hath come before Me, for the earth hath been full of violence from their presence; and lo, I am destroying them with the earth. 14. 'Make for thyself an ark of gopher-wood; rooms dost thou make with the ark, and thou hast covered it within and without with cypress; 15. and this [is] that which thou dost with it: three hundred cubits [is] the length of the ark, fifty cubits its breadth, and thirty cubits its height; 16. a window dost thou make for the ark, and unto a cubit thou dost restrain it from above; and the opening of the ark thou dost put in its side,, lower, second, and third [stories] dost thou make it. 17. 'And I, lo, I am bringing in the deluge of waters on the earth to destroy all flesh, in which [is] a living spirit, from under the heavens; all that [is] in the earth doth expire. 18. 'And I have established My covenant with thee, and thou hast come in unto the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy son's wives with thee; 19. and of all that liveth, of all flesh, two of every [sort] thou dost bring in unto the ark, to keep alive with thee; male and female are they. 20. Of the fowl after its kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every [sort] they come in unto thee, to keep alive. 21. 'And thou, take to thyself of all food that is eaten; and thou hast gathered unto thyself, and it hath been to thee and to them for food.' 22. And Noah doth according to all that God hath commanded him; so hath he done. 7:1. And Jehovah saith to Noah, 'Come in, thou and all thy house, unto the ark, for thee I have seen righteous before Me in this generation; 7:2. of all the clean beasts thou dost take to thee seven pairs, a male and its female; and of the beasts which are not clean two, a male and its female; 7:3. also, of fowl of the heavens seven pairs, a male and a female, to keep alive seed on the face of all the earth; 7:4. for after other seven days I am sending rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and have wiped away all the substance that I have made from off the face of the ground.' 7:5. And Noah doth according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him: 7:6. and Noah [is] a son of six hundred years, and the deluge of waters hath been upon the earth. 7:7. And Noah goeth in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, unto the ark, from the presence of the waters of the deluge; 7:8. of the clean beasts and of the beasts that [are] not clean, and of the fowl, and of every thing that is creeping upon the ground, 7:9. two by two they have come in unto Noah, unto the ark, a male and a female, as God hath commanded Noah. 7:10. And it cometh to pass, after the seventh of the days, that waters of the deluge have been on the earth. 7:11. In the six hundredth year of the life of Noah, in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, in this day have been broken up all fountains of the great deep, and the net-work of the heavens hath been opened, 7:12. and the shower is on the earth forty days and forty nights. 7:13. In this self-same day went in Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, sons of Noah, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them, unto the ark; 7:14. they, and every living creature after its kind, and every beast after its kind, and every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth after its kind, and every fowl after its kind, every bird, every wing. 7:15. And they come in unto Noah, unto the ark, two by two of all the flesh in which [is] a living spirit; 7:16. and they that are coming in, male and female of all flesh, have come in as God hath commanded him, and Jehovah doth close [it] for him. 7:17. And the deluge is forty days on the earth, and the waters multiply, and lift up the ark, and it is raised up from off the earth; 7:18. and the waters are mighty, and multiply exceedingly upon the earth; and the ark goeth on the face of the waters. 7:19. And the waters have been very very mighty on the earth, and covered are all the high mountains which [are] under the whole heavens; 7:20. fifteen cubits upwards have the waters become mighty, and the mountains are covered; 7:21. and expire doth all flesh that is moving on the earth, among fowl, and among cattle, and among beasts, and among all the teeming things which are teeming on the earth, and all mankind; 7:22. all in whose nostrils [is] breath of a living spirit, of all that [is] in the dry land, have died. 7:23. And wiped away is all the substance that is on the face of the ground, from man unto beast, unto creeping thing, and unto fowl of the heavens; yea, they are wiped away from the earth, and only Noah is left, and those who [are] with him in the ark; 7:24. and the waters are mighty on the earth a hundred and fifty days. 8:1. And God remembereth Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle which [are] with him in the ark, and God causeth a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subside, 8:2. and closed are the fountains of the deep and the net-work of the heavens, and restrained is the shower from the heavens. 8:3. And turn back do the waters from off the earth, going on and returning; and the waters are lacking at the end of a hundred and fifty days. 8:4. And the ark resteth, in the seventh month, in the seventeenth day of the month, on mountains of Ararat; 8:5. and the waters have been going and becoming lacking till the tenth month; in the tenth [month], on the first of the month, appeared the heads of the mountains. 8:6. And it cometh to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah openeth the window of the ark which he made, 8:7. and he sendeth forth the raven, and it goeth out, going out and turning back till the drying of the waters from off the earth. 8:8. And he sendeth forth the dove from him to see whether the waters have been lightened from off the face of the ground, 8:9. and the dove hath not found rest for the sole of her foot, and she turneth back unto him, unto the ark, for waters [are] on the face of all the earth, and he putteth out his hand, and taketh her, and bringeth her in unto him, unto the ark. 8:10. And he stayeth yet other seven days, and addeth to send forth the dove from the ark; 8:11. and the dove cometh in unto him at even-time, and lo, an olive leaf torn off in her mouth; and Noah knoweth that the waters have been lightened from off the earth. 8:12. And he stayeth yet other seven days, and sendeth forth the dove, and it added not to turn back unto him any more. 8:13. And it cometh to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first [month], in the first of the month, the waters have been dried from off the earth; and Noah turneth aside the covering of the ark, and looketh, and lo, the face of the ground hath been dried. 8:14. And in the second month, in the seven and twentieth day of the month, the earth hath become dry. 8:15. And God speaketh unto Noah, saying, 'Go out from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee; 8:16. every living thing that [is] with thee, of all flesh, among fowl, and among cattle, and among every creeping thing which is creeping on the earth, bring out with thee; 8:17. and they have teemed in the earth, and been fruitful, and have multiplied on the earth.' 8:18. And Noah goeth out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him; 8:19. every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl; every creeping thing on the earth, after their families, have gone out from the ark. 8:20. And Noah buildeth an altar to Jehovah, and taketh of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and causeth burnt-offerings to ascend on the altar; 8:21. and Jehovah smelleth the sweet fragrance, and Jehovah saith unto His heart, 'I continue not to disesteem any more the ground because of man, though the imagination of the heart of man [is] evil from his youth; and I continue not to smite any more all living, as I have done; 8:22. during all days of the earth, seed-time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, do not cease.'
