⁸Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,

¹¹In 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.
¹²And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
¹³In 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;
¹⁴They, 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.
¹⁵And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
¹⁶And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in.
¹⁷And 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.
¹⁸And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
¹⁹And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
²⁰Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
²¹And 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:
²²All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
²³And 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.
²⁴And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.

8And 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 assuaged;
²The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
³And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.

⁶And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
⁷And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
⁸Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
⁹But 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.
¹⁰And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
¹¹And 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.
¹²And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
¹³And 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.
¹⁴And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
¹⁵And God spake unto Noah, saying,
¹⁶Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee.
¹⁷Bring 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.
¹⁸And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him:
¹⁹Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
²⁰And 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.
²¹And 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.
²²While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

9And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
²And 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.
³Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
⁴But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
⁵And 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.
⁶Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
⁷And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
⁸And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
⁹And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
¹⁰And 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.
¹¹And 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.
¹²And 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:
¹³I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
¹⁴And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
¹⁵And 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.
¹⁶And 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.
¹⁷And 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.
¹⁸And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
¹⁹These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
²⁰And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
²¹And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
²²And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
²³And 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.
²⁴And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
²⁵And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
²⁶And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
²⁷God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
²⁸And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
²⁹And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.

10Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
²The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
³And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
⁴And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
⁵By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
⁶And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
⁷And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.
⁸And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
⁹He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.
¹⁰And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
¹¹Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
¹²And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.
¹³And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
¹⁴And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.
¹⁵And Canaan begat Sidon his first born, and Heth,
¹⁶And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,
¹⁷And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
¹⁸And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
¹⁹And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.
²⁰These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
²¹Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.
²²The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
²³And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
²⁴And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
²⁵And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan.
²⁶And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
²⁷And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
²⁸And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
²⁹And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.
³⁰And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.
³¹These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
³²These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
