Seeker Overlay ON
*
And it came to pass ,
when man began to multiply on the face of the ground ,
and daughters were born to them ,
*
that the sons of God saw the daughters of man that they were fair ;
and they took for themselves wives of all who they chose .
*
And Yahweh said ,
My spirit will not strive with man forever ,
because he also is flesh :
and his days will be 120 years .
*
The Nephilim were in the earth in those days ,
and also after that ,
when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man ,
and they bore [
children ]
to them :
the same were the mighty men who were of old ,
the men of renown .
*
And Yahweh 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 Yahweh that he had made man on the earth ,
and it grieved him at his heart .
*
And Yahweh said ,
I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the ground ;
both man and beast ,
and creeping things ,
and birds of the heavens ;
for it repents me that I have made them .
*
But Noah found favor in the eyes of Yahweh .
*
These are the generations of Noah .
Noah was a righteous man , [
and ]
perfect in his generations :
Noah walked with God .
*
And Noah begot three sons ,
Shem ,
Ham ,
and Japheth .
*
And the earth was corrupt before God ,
and the earth was filled with violence .
*
And God saw the earth ,
and ,
look ,
it was corrupt ;
for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth .
*
And God said to Noah ,
The end of all flesh has come before me ;
for the earth is filled with violence through them ;
and ,
look ,
I will destroy them from the earth .
*
Make an ark of gopher wood .
You will make the ark with a series of compartments ,
and will pitch it inside and outside with pitch .
*
And this is how you will make it :
the length of the ark three hundred cubits ,
the width of it fifty cubits ,
and the height of it thirty cubits .
*
You will make a light to the ark ,
and to a cubit you will finish it upward ;
and the door of the ark you will set in its side ;
with lower ,
second ,
and third stories you will make it .
*
And I ,
look ,
I do bring the flood of waters on the earth ,
to destroy all flesh ,
in which is the breath of life ,
from under heaven ;
everything that is in the earth will die .
*
But I will establish my covenant with you ;
and you will come into the ark ,
you ,
and your sons ,
and your wife ,
and your sons '
wives with you .
*
And of every living thing of all flesh ,
two of every sort you will bring into the ark ,
to keep them alive with you ;
they will be male and female .
*
Of the birds after their kind ,
and of the cattle after their kind ,
of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind ,
two of every sort will come to you ,
to keep them alive .
*
And you take to yourself of all food that is eaten ,
and gather it to you ;
and it will be for food for you ,
and for them .
*
Thus did Noah ;
according to all that God commanded him ,
so he did .
*
And Yahweh said to Noah ,
Come you and all your house into the ark ;
for you I have seen righteous before me in this generation .
*
Of every clean beast you will take to you seven and seven ,
the male and his female ;
and of the beasts that are not clean two ,
the male and his female :
*
of the birds also of the heavens ,
seven and seven ,
male and female ,
to keep seed alive on the face of all the earth .
*
For yet seven days ,
and I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights ;
and every living thing that I have made I will destroy from off the face of the ground .
*
And Noah did according to all that Yahweh commanded him .
*
And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood was on 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 birds ,
and of everything that creeps on the ground ,
*
there went in two and two to Noah into the ark ,
male and female ,
as God commanded Noah .
*
And it came to pass after the seven days ,
that the waters of the flood were on the earth .
*
In the six hundredth year of Noah '
s life ,
in the second month ,
on the seventeenth day of the month ,
on the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up ,
and the windows of heaven were opened .
*
And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights .
*
In the very same 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 its kind ,
and all the cattle after their kind ,
and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind ,
and every bird after its kind ,
every bird of every sort .
*
And they went in to Noah into the ark ,
two and two of all flesh in which is the breath of life .
*
And those that went in ,
went in male and female of all flesh ,
as God commanded him :
and Yahweh shut him in .
*
And the flood was forty days on the earth ;
and the waters increased ,
and bore up the ark ,
and it was lifted up above the earth .
*
And the waters prevailed ,
and increased greatly on the earth ;
and the ark went on the face of the waters .
*
And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth ;
and all the high mountains 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 on the earth ,
both birds ,
and cattle ,
and beasts ,
and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth ,
and all of man :
*
all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life ,
of all that was on the dry land ,
died .
*
And every living thing was destroyed that was on the face of the ground ,
from man to cattle ,
to creeping things ,
and to birds of the heavens ;
and they were destroyed from the earth :
and Noah only was left ,
and those that were with him in the ark .
*
And the waters prevailed on the earth a hundred and fifty days .
*
And God remembered Noah ,
and all the beasts ,
and all the cattle that were with him in the ark :
and God made a wind to pass over the earth ,
and the waters subsided ;
*
the fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped ,
and the rain from heaven was kept back ;
*
and the waters returned from off the earth continually :
and after the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters decreased .
*
And the ark rested in the seventh month ,
on the seventeenth day of the month ,
on 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 ,
and it went forth to and fro ,
until the waters were dried up from off the earth .
*
And 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 to him to the ark ;
for the waters were on the face of the whole earth :
and he put forth his hand ,
and took her ,
and brought her in to him into the ark .
*
And he waited yet another seven days ;
and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark ;
*
and the dove came in to him at evening ;
and ,
look ,
in her mouth an olive-leaf plucked off :
so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth .
*
And he waited yet another seven days ,
and sent forth the dove ;
and she did not return again to him anymore .
*
And it came to pass in the six hundred 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 noticed that the face of the ground was dried .
*
And in the second month ,
on the seven and twentieth day of the month ,
was the earth dry .
*
And God spoke to Noah ,
saying ,
*
Go forth from the ark ,
you ,
and your wife ,
and your sons ,
and your sons '
wives with you .
*
Bring forth with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh ,
both birds ,
and cattle ,
and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth ;
that they may breed abundantly in the earth ,
and be fruitful ,
and multiply on 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 bird ,
whatever moves on the earth ,
after their families ,
went forth out of the ark .
*
And Noah built an altar to Yahweh ,
and took of every clean beast ,
and of every clean bird ,
and offered burnt-offerings on the altar .
*
And Yahweh smelled the sweet savor ;
and Yahweh said in his heart ,
I will not again curse the ground anymore for man '
s sake ,
because the imagination of man '
s heart is evil from his youth ;
neither will I again strike anymore everything living ,
as I have done .
*
While the earth remains ,
seedtime and harvest ,
and cold and heat ,
and summer and winter ,
and day and night will not cease .
*
And God blessed Noah and his sons ,
and said to them ,
Be fruitful ,
and multiply ,
and fill the earth .
*
And the fear of you (
note :){+}(:
note )
and the dread of you {+}
will be on every beast of the earth ,
and on every bird of the heavens ;
With all by which the ground teems ,
and all the fish of the sea ,
into your {+}
hand they are delivered .
*
Every moving thing that lives will be food for you (
note :){+}(:
note ),
as I have given you {+}
everything of the green herb .
*
But flesh with its life , [
which is ]
its blood ,
you (
note :){+}(:
note )
will not eat .
*
And surely your (
note :){+}(:
note )
blood , [
the blood ]
of your {+}
lives ,
I will require ;
At the hand of every beast I will require it .
And at the hand of man ,
even at the hand of every man '
s brother ,
I will require the life of man .
*
Whoever sheds man '
s blood ,
by man will his blood be shed :
For in the image of God he made man .
*
And you (
note :){+}(:
note ),
be fruitful and multiply ;
Bring forth abundantly in the earth ,
and multiply in it .
*
And God spoke to Noah ,
and to his sons with him ,
saying ,
*
And I ,
look ,
I establish my covenant with you (
note :){+}(:
note ),
and with your {+}
seed after you {+};
*
and with every living creature that is with you (
note :){+}(:
note ),
the birds ,
the cattle ,
and every beast of the earth with you {+},
from all those coming out of the ark to all the beasts of the earth .
*
And I will establish my covenant with you (
note :){+}(:
note );
neither will all flesh be cut off anymore by the waters of the flood ;
neither will there anymore be a flood to destroy the earth .
*
And God said ,
This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you (
note :){+}(:
note )
and every living creature that is with you {+},
for perpetual generations :
*
I have set my bow in the cloud ,
and it will be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth .
*
And it will come to pass ,
when I bring a cloud over the earth ,
that the bow will be seen in the cloud ,
*
and I will remember my covenant ,
which is between me and you (
note :){+}(:
note )
and every living creature of all flesh ;
and the waters will no more become a flood to destroy all flesh .
*
And the bow will be in the cloud ;
and I will look at it ,
that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth .
*
And God said to Noah ,
This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth .
*
And the sons of Noah ,
that went forth from the ark ,
were Shem ,
and Ham ,
and Japheth :
and Ham is the father of Canaan .
*
These three were the sons of Noah :
and of these was the whole earth spread over .
*
And Noah began to be a husbandman ,
and planted a vineyard :
*
and he drank of the wine ,
and was drunk .
And he was uncovered inside his tent .
*
And Ham ,
the father of Canaan ,
saw the nakedness of his father ,
and told his two brothers outside .
*
And Shem and Japheth took a garment ,
and laid it on both their shoulders ,
and went backward ,
and covered the nakedness of their father .
And their faces were backward ,
and they did not see their father '
s nakedness .
*
And Noah awoke from his wine ,
and knew what his youngest son had done to him .
*
And he said ,
Cursed be Canaan ;
A slave of slaves he will be to his brothers .
*
And he said ,
Blessed be Yahweh ,
the God of Shem ;
And let Canaan be his slave .
*
God enlarge Japheth ,
And let him stay in the tents of Shem ;
And let Canaan be his slave .
*
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 , [
namely ],
of Shem ,
Ham ,
and Japheth :
and to them were sons born after the flood .
