Genesis:8-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you ;
even as the green herb have I given you all things .
*
But flesh with the life thereof ,
which is the blood thereof ,
shall ye not eat .
*
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 .
*
Whoso sheddeth man '
s blood ,
by man shall his blood be shed :
for in the image of God made he man .
*
And you ,
be ye fruitful ,
and multiply ;
bring forth abundantly in the earth ,
and multiply therein .
*
And God spake unto Noah ,
and to his sons with him ,
saying ,
*
And I ,
behold ,
I establish my covenant with you ,
and with your seed after you ;
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 :
*
I do set my bow in the cloud ,
and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth .
*
And it shall come to pass ,
when I bring a cloud over the earth ,
that the bow shall be seen in the cloud :
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And the sons of Noah ,
that went forth of the ark ,
were Shem ,
and Ham ,
and Japheth :
and Ham is the father of Canaan .
*
These are the three sons of Noah :
and of them was the whole earth overspread .
*
And Noah began to be an husbandman ,
and he planted a vineyard :
*
And he drank of the wine ,
and was drunken ;
and he was uncovered within his tent .
*
And Ham ,
the father of Canaan ,
saw the nakedness of his father ,
and told his two brethren without .
*
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 .
*
And Noah awoke from his wine ,
and knew what his younger son had done unto him .
*
And he said ,
Cursed be Canaan ;
a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren .
*
And he said ,
Blessed be the LORD God of Shem ;
and Canaan shall be his servant .
*
God shall enlarge Japheth ,
and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem ;
and Canaan shall be his servant .
*
And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years .
*
And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years :
and he died .
*
Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah ,
Shem ,
Ham ,
and Japheth :
and unto them were sons born after the flood .
