Genesis, starting at chapter 7
{7:1} The LORD 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. Every living thing that I have
made, I will destroy from the surface of the ground."
{7:5} Noah did everything that the LORD 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 waters of the flood. {7:8} Clean
animals, animals that are not clean, 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} It happened after the seven
days, that the waters of the flood 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}
The rain was 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} They went to Noah into the ship, by pairs of all
flesh with the breath of life in them. {7:16} Those who went in, went
in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; and the LORD
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 prevailed, and increased greatly on the
earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters. {7:19} The
waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth. All the high mountains that
were under the whole sky were covered. {7:20} The waters prevailed
fifteen cubits upward, 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 in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of
all that was on the dry land, 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 prevailed on 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 receded from the earth continually. 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 seen.
{8:6} It happened at the end of forty days, that 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 sent out a dove from him, 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 to him into the ship; 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 stayed 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 an
olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from
the earth. {8:12} He stayed yet another seven days, and sent out the
dove; and she didn't return to him any more.
{8:13} It happened 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,
and your wife, and 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 the LORD, and took of every clean
animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the
altar. {8:21} The LORD smelled the pleasant aroma. The LORD 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; neither
will I ever again strike everything living, 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 shall not cease."
{9:1} God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, "Be fruitful,
and multiply, and replenish the earth. {9:2} The fear of you and the
dread of you will be on every animal of the earth, and on every bird
of the sky. Everything that the ground teems with, and all the fish of
the sea are delivered into your hand. {9:3} Every moving thing that
lives will be food for you. As the green herb, I have given everything
to you. {9:4} But flesh with its life, its blood, you shall not eat.
{9:5} I will surely require your blood of your lives. At the hand of
every animal I will require it. At the hand of man, even at the hand
of every man's brother, I will require the life of man. {9:6} Whoever
sheds man's blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in
his own image. {9:7} Be fruitful and multiply. Increase abundantly in
the earth, and multiply in it."
{9:8} God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying, {9:9} "As
for me, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your
offspring after you, {9:10} and with every living creature that is
with you: the birds, the livestock, and every animal of the earth with
you, of all that go out of the ship, even every animal of the earth.
{9:11} I will establish my covenant with you: all flesh will not be
cut off any more by the waters of the flood, neither will there ever
again be a flood to destroy the earth." {9:12} God said, "This is the
token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living
creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: {9:13} I set my
rainbow in the cloud, and it will be for a sign of a covenant between
me and the earth. {9:14} It will happen, when I bring a cloud over the
earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud, {9:15} and I will
remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living
creature of all flesh, and the waters will no more become a flood to
destroy all flesh. {9:16} The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will
look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God
and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth." {9:17}
God said to Noah, "This is the token of the covenant which I have
established between me and all flesh that is on the earth."
{9:18} The sons of Noah who went out from the ship were Shem, Ham,
and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan. {9:19} These three were the
sons of Noah, and from these, the whole earth was populated.
{9:20} Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard. {9:21} He
drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent.
{9:22} Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and
told his two brothers outside. {9:23} Shem and Japheth took a garment,
and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards, and covered
the nakedness of their father. Their faces were backwards, and they
didn't see their father's nakedness. {9:24} Noah awoke from his wine,
and knew what his youngest son had done to him. {9:25} He said,
"Canaan is cursed.
He will be servant of servants to his brothers."
{9:26} He said,
"Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem.
Let Canaan be his servant.
{9:27} May God enlarge Japheth.
Let him dwell in the tents of Shem.
Let Canaan be his servant."
{9:28} Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood. {9:29}
All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, then he died.
