of all the earth.
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.
5 And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.
6 And Noah wassix hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
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.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that arenot clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that
creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had
commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
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.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
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;
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.
15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein isthe breath of
life.
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.
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.
18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon
the face of the waters.
19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that wereunder
the whole heaven, were covered.
20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
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:
22 All in whose nostrils wasthe breath of life, of all that wasin the dry land, died.
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 werewith him in the ark.
24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
1 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that waswith him in the
ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;
2 The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from
heaven was restrained;
3 And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and
fifty days the waters were abated.
4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the
mountains of Ararat.
5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first
dayof the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.

6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he
had made:
7 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from
off the earth.
8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the
ground;
9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for
the waters wereon the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and
pulled her in unto him into the ark.
10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth wasan olive leaf pluckt
off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
12 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto
him any more.
13 And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first dayof
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.
14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
15 And God spake unto Noah, saying,
16 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
17 Bring forth with thee every living thing that iswith thee, of all flesh, bothof 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.
18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:
19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, andwhatsoever creepeth upon the earth,
after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
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.
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 isevil from his youth;
neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter,
and day and night shall not cease.
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and
replenish the earth.
2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every
fowl of the air, upon all that moveth uponthe earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your
hand are they delivered.
3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you
all things.
4 But flesh with the life thereof, which isthe blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it,
and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.
6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he
man.
7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply
therein.
8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;

10 And with every living creature that iswith you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every
beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the
waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
12 And God said, This isthe token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every
living creature that iswith you, for perpetual generations:
13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the
earth.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in
the cloud:
15 And I will remember my covenant, which isbetween me and you and every living creature of
all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the
everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that isupon the earth.
17 And God said unto Noah, This isthe token of the covenant, which I have established between
me and all flesh that isupon the earth.
18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham
isthe father of Canaan.
19 These arethe three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
20 And Noah began to bean husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren
without.
23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid itupon both their shoulders, and went
backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces werebackward, and they
saw not their father's nakedness.
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
25 And he said, Cursed beCanaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 And he said, Blessed bethe LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his
servant.
28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
1 Now these arethe generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them
were sons born after the flood.
2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and
Tiras.
3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
4 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue,
after their families, in their nations.
6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
7 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons
of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.
8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty
hunter before the LORD.
10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of
Shinar.
