Genesis
Chapter 6
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
Chapter 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.
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.
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.
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 was six 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 are not 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 is the 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 were under 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 was the breath of life, of all that
was in 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
were with him in the ark.
24. And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty
days.
Chapter 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;
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 day of 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 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.
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 was an 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 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.
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 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.
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, and
whatsoever 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 is evil 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.
Chapter 9
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 upon the 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 is the 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 is with 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 is the token of the covenant which I make
between me and you and every living creature that is with
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 is between 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 is upon the earth.
17. And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant,
which I have established between me and all flesh that is
upon the earth.
