Genesis 7:1-11:32 And Jehovah said to Noah You and all your house come into the ark, for I have seen you righteous before Me in this generation.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Jehovah said to Noah You and all your house come into the ark, for I have seen you righteous before Me in this generation. ² You shall take to yourself from every clean animal by sevens, male and female, and from the animal that is not clean by two, male and female. ³ And take of the fowl of the heavens by sevens, male and female, to keep alive seed on the face of the earth. ⁴ For after seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights and will wipe away every living substance that I have made from off the face of the earth. ⁵ And Noah did according to all that Jehovah commanded him. ⁶ Noah was a son of six hundred years, and the flood of waters was on 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 And they went in to Noah into the ark, male and female of clean animals, and of animals that are not clean and of fowl, and of every thing that creeps on the earth, ⁹ two by two, as God had commanded Noah. they went into the ark, male and female. ¹⁰ And it was after the seven days, the waters of the flood came into being on the earth. ¹¹ In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, in this day all the fountains of the great deep were risen, and the windows of the heavens were opened up. ¹² And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights. ¹³ In this same day Noah and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, went into the ark; ¹⁴ they, and every animal according to its kind, and every beast according to its kind, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth according to its kind; and every fowl according to its kind, every bird of every wing. ¹⁵ And they went in to Noah and to the ark, two and two of all flesh, in which is the breath of life. ¹⁶ And those going in went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him. And Jehovah shut behind him. ¹⁷ And the flood was on the earth forty days. And the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth. ¹⁸ And the waters prevailed, and were greatly increased on the earth. And the ark floated on the face of the waters. ¹⁹ And the waters were strong, exceedingly violent on the earth, and all the high mountains under the heavens were covered. ²⁰ The waters grew strong, fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered. ²¹ And all flesh that moved on the earth died: the fowl, and cattle, and beast, and every swarming thing that swarms on the earth, and all mankind. ²² All died in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land. ²³ And every living thing which was on the face of the earth was wiped away, from man to cattle, and to the creeping things, and the fowl of the heavens. And they were wiped off from the earth, and only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ark. ²⁴ And the waters were strong on the earth a hundred and fifty days. ⁸ ¹ And God remembered Noah and every living thing, and all the cattle which were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided. ² And the fountains of the deep and the windows of the heavens were stopped, and the rain from the heavens was restrained. ³ And the waters retreated from the earth, going and retreating. And the waters diminished at the end of a hundred and fifty days. ⁴ And in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark rested on the mountains of Ararat. ⁵ And the waters were going and falling until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen. ⁶ And it happened, at the end of forty days, even Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made. ⁷ And he sent out a raven, and it went out, going out and returning until the waters were dried up from off the earth. ⁸ He also sent out from him the dove, to see if the waters had gone down from off the face of the earth. ⁹ But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned to him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of all the earth. And he put out his hand and took her, and pulled her in to him into the ark. ¹⁰ And he waited yet another seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark. ¹¹ And the dove came into him in the evening. And, behold! In her mouth was a newly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters had gone down from off the earth. ¹² And he waited another seven days and sent forth the dove. And she did not return again to him any more. ¹³ And it happened in the six hundred and first year, at the beginning, on the first 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 earth was dried. ¹⁴ And in the second month, on the twenty seventh day of the month, the earth was dry. ¹⁵ And God spoke to Noah, saying, ¹⁶ Go out of the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons' wives with you. ¹⁷ Bring out from you every living thing that is with you, of all flesh, of fowl, of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creeps on the earth; and let them swarm on the earth, and bear, and multiply on the earth. ¹⁸ And Noah went out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons wives with him; ¹⁹ every animal, every creeping thing, and every fowl; all which creeps on the earth. They went forth out of the ark according to their families. ²⁰ And Noah built an altar to Jehovah, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. ²¹ And Jehovah smelled the soothing fragrance, and Jehovah said in His heart, I will never again curse the ground for the sake of man, because the imagination of the heart of man is evil from his youth. Yea, I will not again smite every living thing as I have done; ²² While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. ⁹ ¹ And God blessed Noah and his sons. And He said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. ² And your fear and your dread shall be on all the animals of the earth, and on every bird of the heavens, on all that moves on the earth, and on all the fish of the sea. They are given into your hands. ³ Every creeping thing which is alive shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green plant. ⁴ But you shall not eat flesh in its life, its blood. ⁵ And surely the blood of your lives I will demand. At the hand of every animal I will demand it, and at the hand of man. I will demand the life of man at the hand of every man's brother. ⁶ Whoever sheds man's blood, his blood shall be shed by man. For He made man in the image of God. ⁷ And you, be fruitful and multiply. Swarm over the earth and multiply in it. ⁸ And God spoke to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, ⁹ Behold! I, even I, am establishing My covenant with you, and with your seed after you, ¹⁰ and with every living creature which is with you, among fowl, among cattle, and among every animal of the earth with you, from all that go out from the ark, to every animal of the earth. ¹¹ And I have established My covenant with you, and all flesh shall not be cut off again by the waters of a flood; nor shall there ever again be a flood to destroy the earth. ¹² And God said, This is the sign of the covenant which I am about to make between Me and you, and every living soul which is with you, for everlasting generations: ¹³ I have set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth. ¹⁴ And it will be when I gather the clouds on the earth, then the bow shall be seen in the clouds. ¹⁵ And I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you, and every living soul in all flesh. And the waters shall not again become a flood to destroy all flesh. ¹⁶ And the bow shall be in the clouds, and I shall see it, to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living soul, in all flesh on the earth. ¹⁷ And God said to Noah, This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth. ¹⁸ And the sons of Noah that went out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham is the father of Canaan. ¹⁹ These are the three sons of Noah, and the whole earth was overspread from them. ²⁰ And Noah, a man of the ground, began and planted a vineyard. ²¹ And he drank from the wine, and was drunk. And he uncovered himself inside his tent. ²² And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father. And he told his two brothers outside. ²³ And Shem and Japheth took a garment and put it on both their shoulders. And they went backward and covered the nakedness of their father, their faces backward. And they did not see the nakedness of their father. ²⁴ And Noah awoke from his wine. And he came to know what his younger son had done to him. ²⁵ And he said, Cursed be Canaan. He shall be a slave of slaves to his brothers. ²⁶ And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem; and may Canaan be his slave. ²⁷ God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall live in the tents of Shem, and Canaan shall be their slave. ²⁸ And Noah lived three hundred and fifty years after the flood. ²⁹ And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years. And he died. ¹⁰ ¹ And these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And sons were born to them after the flood. ² The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. ³ And Gomer's sons were Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. ⁴ And Javan's sons were Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. ⁵ The coasts of the nations were divided by these in their lands each by his tongue, by their families, in their nations. ⁶ And Ham's sons were Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan. ⁷ And the sons of Cush were Seba and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha. And Raamah's sons were Sheba and Dedan. ⁸ And Cush fathered Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one in the land. ⁹ He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah; so it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before Jehovah. ¹⁰ And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. ¹¹ From that land he went forth to Assyria and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth the city, and Calah, ¹² and Resen between Nineveh and Calah, which is a great city. ¹³ And Mizraim fathered Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, ¹⁴ and Pathrusim, and Casluhim, who from whom came the Philistines and Caphtorim. ¹⁵ And Canaan fathered his firstborn Sidon, and Heth, ¹⁶ and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite, ¹⁷ and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, ¹⁸ and the Arvadite and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. And afterward the families of the Canaanites were dispersed. ¹⁹ And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you come to Gerar, as far as Gaza, as you go in towards Sodom and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even to Lasha. ²⁰ These were the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their tongues, in their countries, in their nations. ²¹ And to Shem was born, even to him, the father of all the sons of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder. ²² The sons of Shem were Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram. ²³ And Aram's sons were Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. ²⁴ And Arpachshad fathered Salah; and Salah fathered Eber. ²⁵ And two sons were born to Eber; the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother's name was Joktan. ²⁶ And Joktan fathered Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, ²⁷ and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, ²⁸ and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, ²⁹ and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab. These all were the sons of Joktan. ³⁰ And their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go to Sephar, an eastern mountain. ³¹ These were the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their tongues, in their lands, according to their nations. ³² These were the families of the sons of Noah, by their generations, in their nations. And from these the nations were divided in the earth after the flood. ¹¹ ¹ And the whole earth was of one lip and of one speech ² And it happened, as they pulled up stakes from the east, they found a level valley in the land of Shinar. And they lived there. ³ And each one said to his neighbor, Come, let us make brick, and burning burn them. And they had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar. ⁴ And they said, Come, let us build a city and a tower with its head in the heavens, and make a name for ourselves, that we not be scattered on the face of all the earth. ⁵ And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of Adam had built. ⁶ And Jehovah said, Behold, the people is one, and the lip one to all of them, and this they are beginning to do, and now all which they have purposed to do will not be restrained from them. ⁷ Come, let Us go down and confuse their language so that they cannot understand one another's speech. ⁸ And Jehovah scattered them from there, over the face of all the earth. And they stopped building the city. ⁹ On account of this its name is called Babel, because Jehovah confused the language of all the earth there. And Jehovah scattered them abroad from there on the face of all the earth. ¹⁰ These are the generations of Shem: Shem was a son of a hundred years and fathered Arpachshad two years after the flood. ¹¹ And after he fathered Arpachshad, Shem lived five hundred years. And he fathered sons and daughters. ¹² And Arpachshad lived thirty five years and fathered Salah. ¹³ And after he fathered Salah, Arpachshad lived four hundred and three years And he fathered sons and daughters. ¹⁴ And Salah lived thirty years and fathered Eber. ¹⁵ And after he fathered Eber, Salah lived four hundred and three years. And he fathered sons and daughters. ¹⁶ And Eber lived thirty four years and fathered Peleg. ¹⁷ And after he fathered Peleg, Eber lived four hundred and thirty years. And he fathered sons and daughters. ¹⁸ And Peleg lived thirty years and fathered Reu. ¹⁹ And after he fathered Reu, Peleg lived two hundred and nine years. And he fathered sons and daughters. ²⁰ And Reu lived thirty two years and fathered Serug. ²¹ And after he fathered Serug, Reu lived two hundred and seven years. And he fathered sons and daughters. ²² And Serug lived thirty years and fathered Nahor. ²³ And after he fathered Nahor, Serug lived two hundred years. And he fathered sons and daughters. ²⁴ And Nahor lived twenty nine years and fathered Terah. ²⁵ And after he fathered Terah, Nahor lived a hundred and nineteen years. And he fathered sons and daughters. ²⁶ And Terah lived seventy years and fathered Abram, Nahor, and Haran. ²⁷ And these are the generations of Terah: Terah fathered Abram, Nahor, and Haran. And Haran fathered Lot. ²⁸ And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldeans. ²⁹ And Abram and Nahor took wives for themselves. The name of Abram's wife was Sarai. And the name of Nahor's wife was Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah. ³⁰ And Sarai was barren; there was no child to her. ³¹ And Terah took his son Abram, and Lot, Haran's son, his grandson and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram's wife. And he went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldeans to go into the land of Canaan. And they came to Haran and lived there. ³² And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran.
