  Genesis 6  
  [1] And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the  
  earth,  
  and daughters were born unto them, [2] That the sons of God saw the  
  daughters  
  of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they  
  chose.  
  [3] And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that  
  he  
  also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. [4] There  
  were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons  
  of  
  God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the  
  same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. [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.  
    
  Genesis 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.  
    
  Genesis 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.  
    
  Genesis 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. [18] And the  
  sons  
  of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and  
  Ham  
  is the father of Canaan. [19] These are the three sons of Noah: and of them  
  was the whole earth overspread.  
  [20] And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: [21] And  
  he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.  
  [22] And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and  
  told  
  his two brethren without.  
  [23] And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their  
  shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and  
  their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness. [24]  
  And  
  Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.  
  [25] And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto  
  his  
  brethren.  
  [26] And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his  
  servant.  
  [27] God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and  
  Canaan shall be his servant.  
  [28] And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. [29] And  
  all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
