Genesis 7:1-10:1 And the Lord God said to Noe, Enter thou and all thy family into the ark, for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And the Lord God said to Noe, Enter thou and all thy family into the ark, for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. ² And of the clean cattle take in to thee sevens, male and female, and of the unclean cattle pairs male and female. ³ And of clean flying creatures of the sky sevens, male and female, and of all unclean flying creatures pairs, male and female, to maintain seed on all the earth. ⁴ For yet seven days having passed I bring rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will blot out every offspring which I have made from the face of all the earth. ⁵ And Noe did all things whatever the Lord God commanded him. ⁶ And Noe was six hundred years old when the flood of water was upon the earth. ⁷ And then went in Noe and his sons and his wife, and his sons' wives with him into the ark, because of the water of the flood. ⁸ And of clean flying creatures and of unclean flying creatures, and of clean cattle and of unclean cattle, and of all things that creep upon the earth, ⁹ pairs went in to Noe into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noe. ¹⁰ And it came to pass after the seven days that the water of the flood came upon the earth. ¹¹ In the six hundredth year of the life of Noe, in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, on this day all the fountains of the abyss were broken up, and the flood-gates of heaven were opened. ¹² And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. ¹³ On that very day entered Noe, Sem, Cham, Japheth, the sons of Noe, and the wife of Noe, and the three wives of his sons with him into the ark. ¹⁴ And all the wild beasts after their kind, and all cattle after their kind, and every reptile moving itself on the earth after its kind, and every flying bird after its kind, ¹⁵ went in to Noe into the ark, pairs, male and female of all flesh in which is the breath of life. ¹⁶ And they that entered went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded Noe, and the Lord God shut the ark outside of him. ¹⁷ And the flood was upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and the water abounded greatly and bore up the ark, and it was lifted on high from off the earth. ¹⁸ And the water prevailed and abounded exceedingly upon the earth, and the ark was borne upon the water. ¹⁹ And the water prevailed exceedingly upon the earth, and covered all the high mountains which were under heaven. ²⁰ Fifteen cubits upwards was the water raised, and it covered all the high mountains. ²¹ And there died all flesh that moved upon the earth, of flying creatures and cattle, and of wild beasts, and every reptile moving upon the earth, and every man. ²² And all things which have the breath of life, and whatever was on the dry land, died. ²³ And God blotted out every offspring which was upon the face of the earth, both man and beast, and reptiles, and birds of the sky, and they were blotted out from the earth, and Noe was left alone, and those with him in the ark. ²⁴ And the water was raised over the earth an hundred and fifty days. ⁸ ¹ And God remembered Noe, and all the wild beasts, and all the cattle, and all the birds, and all the reptiles that creep, as many as were with him in the ark, and God brought a wind upon the earth, and the water stayed. ² And the fountains of the deep were closed up, and the flood-gates of heaven, and the rain from heaven was withheld. ³ And the water subsided, and went off the earth, and after an hundred and fifty days the water was diminished, and the ark rested in the seventh month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat. ⁴ And the water continued to decrease until the tenth month. ⁵ And in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the heads of the mountains were seen. ⁶ And it came to pass after forty days Noe opened the window of the ark which he had made. ⁷ And he sent forth a raven; and it went forth and returned not until the water was dried from off the earth. ⁸ And he sent a dove after it to see if the water had ceased from off the earth. ⁹ And the dove not having found rest for her feet, returned to him into the ark, because the water was on all the face of the earth, and he stretched out his hand and took her, and brought her to himself into the ark. ¹⁰ And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove from the ark. ¹¹ And the dove returned to him in the evening, and had a leaf of olive, a sprig in her mouth; and Noe knew that the water had ceased from off the earth. ¹² And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove, and she did not return to him again any more. ¹³ And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year of the life of Noe, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the water subsided from off the earth, and Noe opened the covering of the ark which he had made, and he saw that the water had subsided from the face of the earth. ¹⁴ And in the second month the earth was dried, on the twenty-seventh day of the month. ¹⁵ And the Lord God spoke to Noe, saying, ¹⁶ Come out from the ark, thou and thy wife and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee. ¹⁷ And all the wild beasts as many as are with thee, and all flesh both of birds and beasts, and every reptile moving upon the earth, bring forth with thee: and increase ye and multiply upon the earth. ¹⁸ And Noe came forth, and his wife and his sons, and his sons' wives with him. ¹⁹ And all the wild beasts and all the cattle and every bird, and every reptile creeping upon the earth after their kind, came forth out of the ark. ²⁰ And Noe built an altar to the Lord, and took of all clean beasts, and of all clean birds, and offered a whole burnt-offering upon the altar. ²¹ And the Lord God smelled a smell of sweetness, and the Lord God having considered, said, I will not any more curse the earth, because of the works of men, because the imagination of man is intently bent upon evil things from his youth, I will not therefore any more smite all living flesh as I have done. ²² All the days of the earth, seed and harvest, cold and heat, summer and spring, shall not cease by day or night. ⁹ ¹ And God blessed Noe and his sons, and said to them, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and have dominion over it. ² And the dread and the fear of you shall be upon all the wild beasts of the earth, on all the birds of the sky, and on all things moving upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea, I have placed them under you power. ³ And every reptile which is living shall be to you for meat, I have given all things to you as the green herbs. ⁴ But flesh with blood of life ye shall not eat. ⁵ For your blood of your lives will I require at the hand of all wild beasts, and I will require the life of man at the hand of his brother man. ⁶ He that sheds man's blood, instead of that blood shall his own be shed, for in the image of God I made man. ⁷ But do ye increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and have dominion over it. ⁸ And God spoke to Noe, and to his sons with him, saying, ⁹ And behold I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you, ¹⁰ and with every living creature with you, of birds and of beasts, and with all the wild beasts of the earth, as many as are with you, of all that come out of the ark. ¹¹ And I will establish my covenant with you and all flesh shall not any more die by the water of the flood, and there shall no more be a flood of water to destroy all the earth. ¹² And the Lord God said to Noe, This is the sign of the covenant which I set between me and you, and between every living creature which is with you for perpetual generations. ¹³ I set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of covenant between me and the earth. ¹⁴ And it shall be when I gather clouds upon the earth, that my bow shall be seen in the cloud. ¹⁵ And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you, and between every living soul in all flesh, and there shall no longer be water for a deluge, so as to blot out all flesh. ¹⁶ And my bow shall be in the cloud, and I will look to remember the everlasting covenant between me and the earth, and between every living soul in all flesh, which is upon the earth. ¹⁷ And God said to Noe, This is the sign of the covenant, which I have made between me and all flesh, which is upon the earth. ¹⁸ Now the sons of Noe which came out of the ark, were Sem, Cham, Japheth. And Cham was father of Chanaan. ¹⁹ These three are the sons of Noe, of these were men scattered over all the earth. ²⁰ And Noe began to be a husbandman, and he planted a vineyard. ²¹ And he drank of the wine, and was drunk, and was naked in his house. ²² And Cham the father of Chanaan saw the nakedness of his father, and he went out and told his two brothers without. ²³ And Sem and Japheth having taken a garment, put it on both their backs and went backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their face was backward, and they saw not the nakedness of their father. ²⁴ And Noe recovered from the wine, and knew all that his younger son had done to him. ²⁵ And he said, Cursed be the servant Chanaan, a slave shall he be to his brethren. ²⁶ And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Sem, and Chanaan shall be his bond-servant. ²⁷ May God make room for Japheth, and let him dwell in the habitations of Sem, and let Chanaan be his servant. ²⁸ And Noe lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. ²⁹ And all the days of Noe were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died. ¹⁰ ¹ Now these are the generations of the sons of Noe, Sem, Cham, Japheth; and sons were born to them after the flood.
