Beresheet, starting at chapter 7
{7:1} The LORD said to Noach, "Come with all of your household into
the [1>]teivah[<1], 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 [2>]eretz[<2]. {7:4} In seven days, I will cause it
to rain on the [3>]eretz[<3] for forty days and forty nights. Every
living thing that I have made, I will destroy from the surface of the
ground."
{7:5} Noach did everything that the LORD commanded him.
{7:6} Noach was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came
on the [4>]eretz[<4]. {7:7} Noach went into the [5>]teivah[<5] 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 Noach into
the [6>]teivah[<6], male and female, as God commanded Noach. {7:10} It
happened after the seven days, that the waters of the flood came on
the [7>]eretz[<7]. {7:11} In the six hundredth year of Noach'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 [8>]eretz[<8] forty
days and forty nights.
{7:13} In the same day Noach, and Shem, Ham, and Yefet, the sons of
Noach, and Noach's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them,
entered into the [9>]teivah[<9]; {7:14} they, and every animal after
its kind, all the cattle after their kind, every creeping thing that
creeps on the [10>]eretz[<10] after its kind, and every bird after its
kind, every bird of every sort. {7:15} They went to Noach into the
[11>]teivah[<11], 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 [12>]eretz[<12]. The waters increased, and lifted up
the [13>]teivah[<13], and it was lifted up above the [14>]eretz[<14].
{7:18} The waters prevailed, and increased greatly on the
[15>]eretz[<15]; and the [16>]teivah[<16] floated on the surface of
the waters. {7:19} The waters prevailed exceedingly on the
[17>]eretz[<17]. 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
[18>]eretz[<18], including birds, cattle, animals, every creeping
thing that creeps on the [19>]eretz[<19], 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, cattle, creeping
things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the
[20>]eretz[<20]. Only Noach was left, and those who were with him in
the [21>]teivah[<21]. {7:24} The waters prevailed on the
[22>]eretz[<22] one hundred fifty days.
{8:1} God remembered Noach, all the animals, and all the cattle that
were with him in the [1>]teivah[<1]; and God made a wind to pass over
the [2>]eretz[<2]. 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 off the [3>]eretz[<3]
continually. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters
decreased. {8:4} The teivah 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 Noach opened the
window of the [4>]teivah[<4] which he had made, {8:7} and he sent
forth a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up
from off the [5>]eretz[<5]. {8:8} He sent forth a dove from him, to
see if the waters were abated from off the surface of the ground,
{8:9} but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned
to him into the [6>]teivah[<6]; for the waters were on the surface of
the whole [7>]eretz[<7]. He put forth his hand, and took her, and
brought her to him into the [8>]teivah[<8]. {8:10} He stayed yet
another seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the
[9>]teivah[<9]. {8:11} The dove came back to him at evening, and,
behold, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noach knew that
the waters were abated from off the [10>]eretz[<10]. {8:12} He stayed
yet another seven days, and sent forth 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 off
the [11>]eretz[<11]. Noach removed the covering of the
[12>]teivah[<12], 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 [13>]eretz[<13] was dry.
{8:15} God spoke to Noach, saying, {8:16} "Go forth from the
[14>]teivah[<14], you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons'
wives with you. {8:17} Bring forth with you every living thing that is
with you of all flesh, including birds, cattle, and every creeping
thing that creeps on the [15>]eretz[<15]; that they may breed
abundantly in the [16>]eretz[<16], and be fruitful, and multiply on
the [17>]eretz[<17]."
{8:18} Noach went forth, 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 [18>]eretz[<18], after their families,
went forth out of the [19>]teivah[<19].
{8:20} Noach 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 sweet savor. 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 [20>]eretz[<20] remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and
heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."
{9:1} God blessed Noach and his sons, and said to them, "Be
fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the [1>]eretz[<1]. {9:2} The
fear of you and the dread of you will be on every animal of the
[2>]eretz[<2], 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 the
life of it, the blood of it, 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, by man will his blood be shed, for in the image of God made he
man. {9:7} Be fruitful, and multiply. Bring forth abundantly in the
[3>]eretz[<3], and multiply in it."
{9:8} God spoke to Noach, 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 cattle, and every animal of the [4>]eretz[<4]
with you. Of all that go out of the [5>]teivah[<5], even every animal
of the [6>]eretz[<6]. {9:11} I will establish my covenant with you;
neither will all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of the flood;
neither will there any more be a flood to destroy the [7>]eretz[<7]."
{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 [8>]eretz[<8].
{9:14} It will happen, when I bring a cloud over the [9>]eretz[<9],
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 [10>]eretz[<10]." {9:17}
God said to Noach, "This is the token of the covenant which I have
established between me and all flesh that is on the [11>]eretz[<11]."
{9:18} The sons of Noach who went forth from the [12>]teivah[<12]
were Shem, Ham, and Yefet. Ham is the father of Kana`an. {9:19} These
three were the sons of Noach, and from these, the whole
[13>]eretz[<13] was populated.
{9:20} Noach 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 Kana`an, saw the nakedness of his father,
and told his two brothers outside. {9:23} Shem and Yefet 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} Noach awoke from his
wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him. {9:25} He said,
"Cursed be Kana`an;
A servant of servants will he be to his brothers."
{9:26} He said,
"Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem;
Let Kana`an be his servant.
{9:27} God enlarge Yefet,
Let him dwell in the tents of Shem;
Let Kana`an be his servant."
{9:28} Noach lived three hundred fifty years after the flood. {9:29}
All the days of Noach were nine hundred fifty years, then he died.
