Gen. 6:1‑8:22• 1And it came to pass when mankind began to multiply on the face of the ground and daughters were born to them,
2that the sons of God saw the daughters of mankind that they [were] fair and they took to them wives of all that they chose.
3And Jehovah said, My Spirit shall not strive within man forever, for that he also [is] flesh, and his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
4The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare to them. These [are] the heroes, mighty men who [were] of old, men of renown .
5And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of man [was] great on the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart only evil continually .
6And Jehovah repented that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7And Jehovah said, I will wipe out man whom I have created, from the face of the ground—from man to cattle, to reptiles, and to bird of the heavens; for I repent that I have made them.
8But Noah found favour in the eyes of Jehovah.
9These [are] the generations of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations; Noah walked with God.
10And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12And God looked upon the earth, and, behold it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth.
13And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me, for the earth is full of violence through them; and behold I will destroy them with the earth.
14Make thee an ark of gopher wood: rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and pitch it within and without with pitch.
15And thus shalt thou make it: three hundred cubits the length of the ark, fifty cubits its breadth, and thirty cubits its height.
16A transparency shalt thou make to the ark, and to a cubit thou shalt finish it above; and the ark's door thou shalt set in its side: [with] lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
17And I, behold I, bring the flood of waters on the earth to destroy all flesh wherein [is] the breath of life: all that [is] in the earth shall expire.
18But I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt go into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy son's wives with thee.
19And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every [kind] shalt thou bring into the ark to keep [them] alive with thee; male and female shall they be.
20Of the birds after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every reptile of the ground after its kind, two of every [kind] shall come to thee, to keep [them] alive.
21And take thou to thee of all food that is eaten, and gather [it] to thee, and it shall be for food for thee and for them.
22Thus did Noah according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
1And Jehovah said to Noah, Go into the ark, thou and all thy house; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
2Of every clean beast thou shalt take [by] sevens, a male and its female, but of the beasts that [are] not clean two, a male and its female;
3also of birds of the heavens [by] sevens, male and female: to keep seed alive on the face of all the earth.
4For yet seven days and I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; and all the living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the ground.
5And Noah did according to all that Jehovah commanded him.
6And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was on the earth.
7And 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.
8Of clean beasts, and of beasts that [are] not clean, and of birds, and everything that creeps on the ground,
9went in two [and] two to Noah into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noah.
10And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were on the earth.
11In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, and the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day were broken up all the fountains of the great deep, and the windows of the heavens were opened.
12And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.
13On the same day went Noah, and Shem and Ham and Japheth, sons of Noah, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
14they, and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind—every bird of every wing.
15And they went unto Noah into the ark, two [and] two of all flesh wherein was the breath of life.
16And they that came came male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; and Jehovah shut him in.
17And 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.
18And the waters prevailed and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
19And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high mountains that [were] under all the heavens were covered.
20Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
21And all flesh that moved upon the earth expired, bird and cattle and beast and all the creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all mankind:
22all died which [had] breath of spirit of life, of all that [was] in dry [land].
23And every living substance which [was] on the face of the ground from man to cattle and to reptile and to bird of the heavens; and they were blotted out from the earth; and Noah only remained, and what [was] with him in the ark.
24And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.
1And God remembered Noah, and all that lived, and all the cattle that [were] with him in the ark; and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.
2And closed were [the] deep's fountains and heaven's windows, and the rain from the heavens was restrained.
3And the waters returned from off the earth continually ; and the waters were abated at the end of a hundred and fifty days.
4And the ark rested in the seventh month, on [the] seventeenth day of [the] month, on Ararat's mountains.
5And the waters were abating continually until the tenth month: in the tenth, on the first of the month, were the mountain tops seen.
6And it came to pass at the end of forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.
7And he sent forth the raven; and it went forth, going to and fro until the drying of the waters from off the earth.
8And he sent forth the dove from him, to see if the waters were abated [become light] from off the face of the ground;
9but the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and returned to him into the ark, for the waters [were] on the face of all the earth. And he put forth his hand and took her and brought her in to him into the ark.
10And he stayed yet other seven days, and again he sent the dove out of the ark;
11and the dove came to him at eventide, and behold the leaf of olive fresh plucked [was] in her mouth; and Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
12And he stayed yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove, which returned not again to him more.
13And 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.
14And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, was the earth dry.
15And God spoke to Noah, saying,
16Go forth out of the ark, thou and thy wife, and thy sons and thy sons' wives with thee:
17all the animals that are with thee of all flesh, among bird and among cattle and among every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, bring forth with thee, that they may swarm on the earth and be fruitful and multiply upon the earth.
18And Noah went forth and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives, with him:
19all the animals, all the creeping things, and all the birds—everything that moveth upon the earth after their families, went forth out of the ark.
20And Noah built an altar to Jehovah, and took of every clean beast and of every clean bird, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar.
21And Jehovah smelled the odour of rest. And Jehovah said in his heart, I will not any more again curse the ground on account of man, for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; and I will not any more again smite every living thing as I have done.
22Henceforth all the days of the earth, seed and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease. (Gen. 6:1‑8:22)
