> 6:9
These are the generations of Noah. Noah was in his generations a man
righteous and wholehearted; Noah walked with God. 6:10 And Noah begot
three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 6:11 And the earth was corrupt
before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 6:12 And God saw
the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted
their way upon the earth.
> 6:13 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. 6:14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; with rooms shalt thou
make the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. 6:15
And this is how thou shalt make it: the length of the ark three
hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it
thirty cubits. 6:16 A light shalt thou make to the ark, and to a
cubit shalt thou finish it upward; and the door of the ark shalt thou
set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt
thou make it. 6:17 And I, behold, I do bring the flood of waters upon
the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from
under heaven; every thing that is in the earth shall perish. 6:18 But
I will establish My covenant with thee; and thou shalt come into the
ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
6:19 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. 6:20 Of the fowl after their kind, and of the cattle
after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its
kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
6:21 And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it
to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.' 6:22 Thus
did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
> 7:1
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. 7:2
Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee seven and seven, each
with his mate; and of the beasts that are not clean two and two, each
with his mate; 7:3 of the fowl also of the air, seven and seven, male
and female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. 7:4
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 blot out from off the face of the earth.' 7:5 And Noah did
according unto all that the LORD commanded him.
> 7:6 And Noah
was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the
earth. 7:7 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. 7:8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of
fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the ground, 7:9 there
went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, male and female, as God
commanded Noah. 7:10 And it came to pass after the seven days, that
the waters of the flood were upon the earth. 7:11 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.
7:12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
>
7:13 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; 7:14 they, and every beast after
its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping
thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind, and every fowl
after its kind, every bird of every sort. 7:15 And they went in unto
Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh wherein is the breath of
life. 7:16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all
flesh, as God commanded him; and the LORD shut him in. 7:17 And the
flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and
bore up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth. 7:18 And the
waters prevailed, and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark
went upon the face of the waters. 7:19 And the waters prevailed
exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high mountains that were
under the whole heaven were covered. 7:20 Fifteen cubits upward did
the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. 7:21 And all
flesh perished that moved upon the earth, both fowl, and cattle, and
beast, and every swarming thing that swarmeth upon the earth, and
every man; 7:22 all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of
life, whatsoever was in the dry land, died. 7:23 And He blotted out
every living substance which was upon the face of the ground, both
man, and cattle, and creeping thing, and fowl of the heaven; and they
were blotted out from the earth; and Noah only was left, and they
that were with him in the ark. 7:24 And the waters prevailed upon the
earth a hundred and fifty days.
> 8:1
And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle
that were with him in the ark; and God made a wind to pass over the
earth, and the waters assuaged; 8:2 the fountains also of the deep
and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was
restrained. 8:3 And the waters returned from off the earth
continually; and after the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters
decreased. 8:4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the
seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat. 8:5 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.
> 8:6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that
Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made. 8:7 And he sent
forth a raven, and it went forth to and fro, until the waters were
dried up from off the earth. 8:8 And he sent forth a dove from him,
to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground. 8:9
But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned
unto 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
unto him into the ark. 8:10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and
again he sent forth the dove out of the ark. 8:11 And the dove came
in to him at eventide; and lo in her mouth an olive-leaf freshly
plucked; so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
8:12 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; and
she returned not again unto him any more.
> 8:13 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 behold, the
face of the ground was dried. 8:14 And in the second month, on the
seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dry.
>
8:15 And God spoke unto Noah, saying: 8:16 'Go forth from the ark,
thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee. 8:17
Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee of all
flesh, both fowl, and cattle, and every creeping thing that creepeth
upon the earth; that they may swarm in the earth, and be fruitful,
and multiply upon the earth.' 8:18 And Noah went forth, and his sons,
and his wife, and his sons' wives with him; 8:19 every beast, every
creeping thing, and every fowl, whatsoever moveth upon the earth,
after their families; went forth out of the ark.
> 8:20 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.
8:21 And the LORD smelled the 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. 8:22
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat,
and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.'
> 9:1
And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them: 'Be fruitful
and multiply, and replenish the earth. 9:2 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, and upon all wherewith the ground teemeth, and
upon all the fishes of the sea: into your hand are they delivered.
9:3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be for food for you; as the
green herb have I given you all. 9:4 Only flesh with the life
thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. 9:5 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, even at the hand of every
man's brother, will I require the life of man. 9:6 Whoso sheddeth
man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God
made He man. 9:7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; swarm in the
earth, and multiply therein.'
> 9:8 And God spoke unto Noah,
and to his sons with him, saying: 9:9 'As for Me, behold, I establish
My covenant with you, and with your seed after you; 9:10 and with
every living creature that is with you, the fowl, the cattle, and
every beast of the earth with you; of all that go out of the ark,
even every beast of the earth. 9:11 And I will establish My covenant
with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters
of the flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the
earth.' 9:12 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: 9:13 I have set My bow in the cloud, and
it shall be for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth. 9:14
And it shall come to pass, when I bring clouds over the earth, and
the bow is seen in the cloud, 9:15 that 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.
9:16 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.' 9:17 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.'
> 9:18 And
the sons of Noah, that went forth from the ark, were Shem, and Ham,
and Japheth; and Ham is the father of Canaan. 9:19 These three were
the sons of Noah, and of these was the whole earth overspread.
>
9:20 And Noah the husbandman began, and planted a vineyard. 9:21 And
he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within
his tent. 9:22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of
his father, and told his two brethren without. 9:23 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. 9:24
And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done
unto him. 9:25 And he said: Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants
shall he be unto his brethren. 9:26 And he said: Blessed be the LORD,
the God of Shem; and let Canaan be their servant. 9:27 God (f11)
enlarge Japheth, And he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; And let
Canaan be their servant. (Footnote 11: Hebrew: japhth)
> 9:28
And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. 9:29
And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years; and he
died.
> 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.
> 10:2
The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and
Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 10:3 And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz,
and Riphath, and Togarmah. 10:4 And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and
Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 10:5 Of these were the isles of the
nations divided in their lands, every one after his tongue, after
their families, in their nations.
> 10:6 And the sons of Ham:
Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan. 10:7 And the sons of Cush:
Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabteca; and the sons
of Raamah: Sheba, and Dedan. 10:8 And Cush begot Nimrod; he began to
be a mighty one in the earth. 10:9 He was a mighty hunter before the
LORD; wherefore it is said: 'Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the
LORD.' 10:10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech,
and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 10:11 Out of that land
went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and Rehoboth-ir, and Calah,
10:12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah--the same is the great
city. 10:13 And Mizraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and
Naphtuhim, 10:14 and Pathrusim, and Casluhim--whence went forth the
Philistines--and Caphtorim.
> 10:15 And Canaan begot Zidon his
firstborn, and Heth; 10:16 and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the
Girgashite; 10:17 and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite;
10:18 and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite; and
afterward were the families of the Canaanite spread abroad. 10:19 And
the border of the Canaanite was from Zidon, as thou goest toward
Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah
and Zeboiim, unto Lasha. 10:20 These are the sons of Ham, after their
families, after their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.
>
10:21 And unto Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the
elder brother of Japheth, to him also were children born. 10:22 The
sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram.
10:23 And the sons of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. 10:24
And Arpachshad begot Shelah; and Shelah begot Eber. 10:25 And unto
Eber were born two sons; the name of the one was (f12) Peleg; for in
his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
(Footnote 12: That is, Division) 10:26 And Joktan begot Almodad, and
Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah; 10:27 and Hadoram, and Uzal, and
Diklah; 10:28 and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba; 10:29 and Ophir, and
Havilah, and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan. 10:30 And
their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest toward Sephar, unto the
mountain of the east. 10:31 These are the sons of Shem, after their
families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
> 10:32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after
their generations, in their nations; and of these were the nations
divided in the earth after the flood.
> 11:1
And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech. 11:2 And
it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in
the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. 11:3 And they said one to
another: 'Come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly.' And
they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. 11:4 And
they said: 'Come, let us build us a city, and a tower, with its top
in heaven, and let us make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad
upon the face of the whole earth.' 11:5 And the LORD came down to see
the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 11:6 And
the LORD said: 'Behold, they are one people, and they have all one
language; and this is what they begin to do; and now nothing will be
withholden from them, which they purpose to do. 11:7 Come, let us go
down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand
one another's speech.' 11:8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from
thence upon the face of all the earth; and they left off to build the
city. 11:9 Therefore was the name of it called Babel; because the
LORD did there (f13) confound the language of all the earth; and from
thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the
earth. (Footnote 13: Hebrew: balal, to confound)
> 11:10 These
are the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old, and begot
Arpachshad two years after the flood. 11:11 And Shem lived after he
begot Arpachshad five hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.
>
11:12 And Arpachshad lived five and thirty years, and begot Shelah.
11:13 And Arpachshad lived after he begot Shelah four hundred and
three years, and begot sons and daughters.
> 11:14 And Shelah
lived thirty years, and begot Eber. 11:15 And Shelah lived after he
begot Eber four hundred and three years, and begot sons and
daughters.
> 11:16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and
begot Peleg. 11:17 And Eber lived after he begot Peleg four hundred
and thirty years, and begot sons and daughters.
> 11:18 And
Peleg lived thirty years, and begot Reu. 11:19 And Peleg lived after
he begot Reu two hundred and nine years, and begot sons and
daughters.
> 11:20 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and
begot Serug. 11:21 And Reu lived after he begot Serug two hundred and
seven years, and begot sons and daughters.
> 11:22 And Serug
lived thirty years, and begot Nahor. 11:23 And Serug lived after he
begot Nahor two hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.
>
11:24 And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begot Terah. 11:25
And Nahor lived after he begot Terah a hundred and nineteen years,
and begot sons and daughters.
> 11:26 And Terah lived seventy
years, and begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
> 11:27 Now these
are the generations of Terah. Terah begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran;
and Haran begot Lot. 11:28 And Haran died in the presence of his
father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
11:29 And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife
was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of
Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah. 11:30 And Sarai
was barren; she had no child. 11:31 And Terah took Abram his son, and
Lot the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law,
his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the
Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran,
and dwelt there. 11:32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and
five years; and Terah died in Haran.
