   Genesis Chapter 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 Chapter 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.   
      
   Genesis Chapter 10   
      
   1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and   
   Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.   
      
   2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and
