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. 14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark,
and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. 15 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. 16 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. 17 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. 18 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. 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. 20 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. 21
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.
22 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. 2 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. 3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens,
the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. 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 destroy from
off the face of the earth.
5 And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him. 6 And Noah was
six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. 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. 8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are
not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth, 9
There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as
God had commanded Noah. 10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters
of the flood were upon the earth.
11 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. 12 And the rain was upon
the earth forty days and forty nights.
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;
14 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. 15 And they went in unto Noah
into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. 16 And
they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded
him: and the LORD shut him in.
17 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. 18 And the waters
prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the
face of the waters. 19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and
all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. 20 Fifteen
cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
21 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: 22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in
the dry land, died. 23 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. 24 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; 2 The fountains also of the deep and the windows of
heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained; 3 And the waters
returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and
fifty days the waters were abated.
4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month,
upon the mountains of Ararat. 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.
