Gen.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.
Gen.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,
