*
This is the book of the generations of Adam .
In the day that God created man ,
in the likeness of God made he him ;
*
Male and female created he them ;
and blessed them ,
and called their name Adam ,
in the day when they were created .
*
And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years ,
and begat a son in his own likeness ,
after his image ;
and called his name Seth :
*
And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years :
and he begat sons and daughters :
*

and he died .
*
And Seth lived an hundred and five years ,

*
And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years :
and he died .
*
And Enos lived ninety years ,
and begat Cainan :
*
And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years ,
and begat sons and daughters :
*
And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years :
and he died .
*
And Cainan lived seventy years ,

and begat sons and daughters :
*
And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years :
and he died .
*
And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years ,
and begat Jared :
*

for God took him .

And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years ,

*

*

because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed .

*
And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years :

*
And Noah was five hundred years old :
and Noah begat Shem ,
Ham ,
and Japheth .
*
And it came to pass ,
when men began to multiply on the face of the earth ,
and daughters were born unto them ,
*
That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair ;
and they took them wives of all which they chose .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth ,
and it grieved him at his heart .
*
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 .
*
But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD .
*
These are the generations of Noah :
Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations ,
and Noah walked with God .
*
And Noah begat three sons ,
Shem ,
Ham ,
and Japheth .
*
The earth also was corrupt before God ,
and the earth was filled with violence .
*
And God looked upon the earth ,
and ,
behold ,
it was corrupt ;
for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth .
*
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 .
*
Make thee an ark of gopher wood ;
rooms shalt thou make in the ark ,
and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Thus did Noah ;
according to all that God commanded him ,
so did he .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Of fowls also of the air by sevens ,
the male and the female ;
to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth .
*
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 .
*
And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him .
*
And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth .
*
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 .
*
Of clean beasts ,
and of beasts that are not clean ,
and of fowls ,
and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth ,
*
There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark ,
the male and the female ,
as God had commanded Noah .
*
And it came to pass after seven days ,
that the waters of the flood were upon the earth .
*
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 .
*
And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights .
*
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 ;
*
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 .
*
And they went in unto Noah into the ark ,
two and two of all flesh ,
wherein is the breath of life .
*
And they that went in ,
went in male and female of all flesh ,
as God had commanded him :
and the LORD shut him in .
*
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 .
*
And the waters prevailed ,
and were increased greatly upon the earth ;
and the ark went upon the face of the waters .
*
And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth ;
and all the high hills ,
that were under the whole heaven ,
were covered .
*
Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail ;
and the mountains were covered .
*
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 :
*
All in whose nostrils was the breath of life ,
of all that was in the dry land ,
died .
*
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 .
*
And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days .
*
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 ;
*
The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped ,
and the rain from heaven was restrained ;
*
And the waters returned from off the earth continually :
and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated .
*
And the ark rested in the seventh month ,
on the seventeenth day of the month ,
upon the mountains of Ararat .
*
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 .
*
And it came to pass at the end of forty days ,
that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made :
*
And he sent forth a raven ,
which went forth to and fro ,
until the waters were dried up from off the earth .
*
Also he sent forth a dove from him ,
to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground ;
*
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 .
*
And he stayed yet other seven days ;
and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark ;
*
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 .
*
And he stayed yet other seven days ;
and sent forth the dove ;
which returned not again unto him any more .
*
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 .
*
And in the second month ,
on the seven and twentieth day of the month ,
was the earth dried .
*
And God spake unto Noah ,
saying ,
*
Go forth of the ark ,
thou ,
and thy wife ,
and thy sons ,
and thy sons '
wives with thee .
*
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 .
*
And Noah went forth ,
and his sons ,
and his wife ,
and his sons '
wives with him :
*
Every beast ,
every creeping thing ,
and every fowl ,
and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth ,
after their kinds ,
went forth out of the ark .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
While the earth remaineth ,
seedtime and harvest ,
and cold and heat ,
and summer and winter ,
and day and night shall not cease .
*
And God blessed Noah and his sons ,
and said unto them ,
Be fruitful ,
and multiply ,
and replenish the earth .
