創 世 記 6-8
Chinese Union Version (Traditional)
6 當 人 在 世 上 多 起 來 又 生 女 兒 的 時 候 ，
2 神 的 兒 子 們 看 見 人 的 女 子 美 貌 ， 就 隨 意 挑 選 ， 娶 來 為 妻 。
3 耶 和 華 說 ： 人 既 屬 乎 血 氣 ， 我 的 靈 就 不 永 遠 住 在 他 裡 面 ； 然 而 他 的 日 子 還 可 到 一 百 二 十 年 。
4 那 時 候 有 偉 人 在 地 上 ， 後 來 神 的 兒 子 們 和 人 的 女 子 們 交 合 生 子 ； 那 就 是 上 古 英 武 有 名 的 人 。
5 耶 和 華 見 人 在 地 上 罪 惡 很 大 ， 終 日 所 思 想 的 盡 都 是 惡 ，
6 耶 和 華 就 後 悔 造 人 在 地 上 ， 心 中 憂 傷 。
7 耶 和 華 說 ： 我 要 將 所 造 的 人 和 走 獸 ， 並 昆 蟲 ， 以 及 空 中 的 飛 鳥 ， 都 從 地 上 除 滅 ， 因 為 我 造 他 們 後 悔 了 。
8 惟 有 挪 亞 在 耶 和 華 眼 前 蒙 恩 。
9 挪 亞 的 後 代 記 在 下 面 。 挪 亞 是 個 義 人 ， 在 當 時 的 世 代 是 個 完 全 人 。 挪 亞 與 神 同 行 。
10 挪 亞 生 了 三 個 兒 子 ， 就 是 閃 、 含 、 雅 弗 。
11 世 界 在 神 面 前 敗 壞 ， 地 上 滿 了 強 暴 . 。
12 神 觀 看 世 界 ， 見 是 敗 壞 了 ； 凡 有 血 氣 的 人 在 地 上 . 都 敗 壞 了 行 為 。
13 神 就 對 挪 亞 說 ： 凡 有 血 氣 的 人 ， 他 的 盡 頭 已 經 來 到 我 面 前 ； 因 為 地 上 滿 了 他 們 的 強 暴 ， 我 要 把 他 們 和 地 一 併 毀 滅 。
14 你 要 用 歌 斐 木 造 一 隻 方 舟 ， 分 一 間 一 間 地 造 ， 裡 外 抹 上 松 香 。
15 方 舟 的 造 法 乃 是 這 樣 ： 要 長 三 百 肘 ， 寬 五 十 肘 ， 高 三 十 肘 。
16 方 舟 上 邊 要 留 透 光 處 ， 高 一 肘 。 方 舟 的 門 要 開 在 旁 邊 。 方 舟 要 分 上 、 中 、 下 三 層 。
17 看 哪 ， 我 要 使 洪 水 氾 濫 在 地 上 ， 毀 滅 天 下 ； 凡 地 上 有 血 肉 、 有 氣 息 的 活 物 ， 無 一 不 死 。
18 我 卻 要 與 你 立 約 ； 你 同 你 的 妻 ， 與 兒 子 兒 婦 ， 都 要 進 入 方 舟 。
19 凡 有 血 肉 的 活 物 ， 每 樣 兩 個 ， 一 公 一 母 ， 你 要 帶 進 方 舟 ， 好 在 你 那 裡 保 全 生 命 。
20 飛 鳥 各 從 其 類 ， 牲 畜 各 從 其 類 ， 地 上 的 昆 蟲 各 從 其 類 ， 每 樣 兩 個 ， 要 到 你 那 裡 ， 好 保 全 生 命 。
21 你 要 拿 各 樣 食 物 積 蓄 起 來 ， 好 作 你 和 他 們 的 食 物 。
22 挪 亞 就 這 樣 行 。 凡 神 所 吩 咐 的 ， 他 都 照 樣 行 了 。
7 耶 和 華 對 挪 亞 說 ： 你 和 你 的 全 家 都 要 進 入 方 舟 ； 因 為 在 這 世 代 中 ， 我 見 你 在 我 面 前 是 義 人 。
2 凡 潔 淨 的 畜 類 ， 你 要 帶 七 公 七 母 ； 不 潔 淨 的 畜 類 ， 你 要 帶 一 公 一 母 ；
3 空 中 的 飛 鳥 也 要 帶 七 公 七 母 ， 可 以 留 種 ， 活 在 全 地 上 ；
4 因 為 再 過 七 天 ， 我 要 降 雨 在 地 上 四 十 晝 夜 ， 把 我 所 造 的 各 種 活 物 都 從 地 上 除 滅 。
5 挪 亞 就 遵 著 耶 和 華 所 吩 咐 的 行 了 。
6 當 洪 水 氾 濫 在 地 上 的 時 候 ， 挪 亞 整 六 百 歲 。
7 挪 亞 就 同 他 的 妻 和 兒 子 兒 婦 都 進 入 方 舟 ， 躲 避 洪 水 。
8 潔 淨 的 畜 類 和 不 潔 淨 的 畜 類 ， 飛 鳥 並 地 上 一 切 的 昆 蟲 ，
9 都 是 一 對 一 對 的 ， 有 公 有 母 ， 到 挪 亞 那 裡 進 入 方 舟 ， 正 如 神 所 吩 咐 挪 亞 的 。
10 過 了 那 七 天 ， 洪 水 氾 濫 在 地 上 。
11 當 挪 亞 六 百 歲 ， 二 月 十 七 日 那 一 天 ， 大 淵 的 泉 源 都 裂 開 了 ， 天 上 的 窗 戶 也 敞 開 了
12 四 十 晝 夜 降 大 雨 在 地 上 。
13 正 當 那 日 ， 挪 亞 和 他 三 個 兒 子 閃 、 含 、 雅 弗 ， 並 挪 亞 的 妻 子 和 三 個 兒 婦 ， 都 進 入 方 舟 。
14 他 們 和 百 獸 ， 各 從 其 類 ， 一 切 牲 畜 ， 各 從 其 類 ， 爬 在 地 上 的 昆 蟲 ， 各 從 其 類 ， 一 切 禽 鳥 ， 各 從 其 類 ， 都 進 入 方 舟 。
15 凡 有 血 肉 、 有 氣 息 的 活 物 ， 都 一 對 一 對 地 到 挪 亞 那 裡 ， 進 入 方 舟 。
16 凡 有 血 肉 進 入 方 舟 的 ， 都 是 有 公 有 母 ， 正 如 神 所 吩 咐 挪 亞 的 。 耶 和 華 就 把 他 關 在 方 舟 裡 頭 。
17 洪 水 氾 濫 在 地 上 四 十 天 ， 水 往 上 長 ， 把 方 舟 從 地 上 漂 起 。
18 水 勢 浩 大 ， 在 地 上 大 大 地 往 上 長 ， 方 舟 在 水 面 上 漂 來 漂 去 。
19 水 勢 在 地 上 極 其 浩 大 ， 天 下 的 高 山 都 淹 沒 了 。
20 水 勢 比 山 高 過 十 五 肘 ， 山 嶺 都 淹 沒 了 。
21 凡 在 地 上 有 血 肉 的 動 物 ， 就 是 飛 鳥 、 牲 畜 、 走 獸 ， 和 爬 在 地 上 的 昆 蟲 ， 以 及 所 有 的 人 ， 都 死 了 。
22 凡 在 旱 地 上 、 鼻 孔 有 氣 息 的 生 靈 都 死 了 。
23 凡 地 上 各 類 的 活 物 ， 連 人 帶 牲 畜 、 昆 蟲 ， 以 及 空 中 的 飛 鳥 ， 都 從 地 上 除 滅 了 ， 只 留 下 挪 亞 和 那 些 與 他 同 在 方 舟 裡 的 。
24 水 勢 浩 大 ， 在 地 上 共 一 百 五 十 天 。
8 神 記 念 挪 亞 和 挪 亞 方 舟 裡 的 一 切 走 獸 牲 畜 。 神 叫 風 吹 地 ， 水 勢 漸 落 。
2 淵 源 和 天 上 的 窗 戶 都 閉 塞 了 ， 天 上 的 大 雨 也 止 住 了 。
3 水 從 地 上 漸 退 。 過 了 一 百 五 十 天 ， 水 就 漸 消 。
4 七 月 十 七 日 ， 方 舟 停 在 亞 拉 臘 山 上 。
5 水 又 漸 消 ， 到 十 月 初 一 日 ， 山 頂 都 現 出 來 了 。
6 過 了 四 十 天 ， 挪 亞 開 了 方 舟 的 窗 戶 ，
7 放 出 一 隻 烏 鴉 去 ； 那 烏 鴉 飛 來 飛 去 ， 直 到 地 上 的 水 都 乾 了 。
8 他 又 放 出 一 隻 鴿 子 去 ， 要 看 看 水 從 地 上 退 了 沒 有 。
9 但 遍 地 上 都 是 水 ， 鴿 子 找 不 著 落 腳 之 地 ， 就 回 到 方 舟 挪 亞 那 裡 ， 挪 亞 伸 手 把 鴿 子 接 進 方 舟 來 。
10 他 又 等 了 七 天 ， 再 把 鴿 子 從 方 舟 放 出 去 。
11 到 了 晚 上 ， 鴿 子 回 到 他 那 裡 ， 嘴 裡 叼 著 一 個 新 擰 下 來 的 橄 欖 葉 子 ， 挪 亞 就 知 道 地 上 的 水 退 了 。
12 他 又 等 了 七 天 ， 放 出 鴿 子 去 ， 鴿 子 就 不 再 回 來 了 。
13 到 挪 亞 六 百 零 一 歲 ， 正 月 初 一 日 ， 地 上 的 水 都 乾 了 。 挪 亞 撤 去 方 舟 的 蓋 觀 看 ， 便 見 地 面 上 乾 了 。
14 到 了 二 月 二 十 七 日 ， 地 就 都 乾 了 。
15 神 對 挪 亞 說 ：
16 你 和 你 的 妻 子 、 兒 子 、 兒 婦 都 可 以 出 方 舟 。
17 在 你 那 裡 凡 有 血 肉 的 活 物 ， 就 是 飛 鳥 、 牲 畜 ， 和 一 切 爬 在 地 上 的 昆 蟲 ， 都 要 帶 出 來 ， 叫 他 在 地 上 多 多 滋 生 ， 大 大 興 旺 。
18 於 是 挪 亞 和 他 的 妻 子 、 兒 子 、 兒 婦 都 出 來 了 。
19 一 切 走 獸 、 昆 蟲 、 飛 鳥 ， 和 地 上 所 有 的 動 物 ， 各 從 其 類 ， 也 都 出 了 方 舟 。
20 挪 亞 為 耶 和 華 築 了 一 座 壇 ， 拿 各 類 潔 淨 的 牲 畜 、 飛 鳥 獻 在 壇 上 為 燔 祭 。
21 耶 和 華 聞 那 馨 香 之 氣 ， 就 心 裡 說 ： 我 不 再 因 人 的 緣 故 咒 詛 地 （ 人 從 小 時 心 裡 懷 著 惡 念 ） ， 也 不 再 按 著 我 才 行 的 滅 各 種 的 活 物 了 。
22 地 還 存 留 的 時 候 ， 稼 穡 、 寒 暑 、 冬 夏 、 晝 夜 就 永 不 停 息 了 。
Genesis 6-8
Darby Translation
Genesis 6-8
Darby Translation
6 And it came to pass when mankind began to multiply on the earth, and daughters were born to them,
2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair, and took themselves wives of all that they chose.
3 And Jehovah said, My Spirit shall not always plead with Man; for he indeed is flesh; but his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
4 In those days were the giants on the earth, and also afterwards, when the sons of God had come in to the daughters of men, and they had borne [children] to them; these were the heroes, who of old were men of renown.
5 And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of Man was great on the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart only evil continually.
6 And Jehovah repented that he had made Man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.
7 And Jehovah said, I will destroy Man, whom I have created, from the earth—from man to cattle, to creeping things, and to fowl of the heavens; for I repent that I have made them.
8 But Noah found favour in the eyes of Jehovah.
9 This is the history of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect amongst his generations: Noah walked with God.
10 And Noah begot three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was full of violence.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted its way on the earth.
13 And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me, for the earth is full of violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
14 Make thyself an ark of gopher wood: [with] cells shalt thou make the ark; and pitch it inside and outside with pitch.
15 And thus shalt thou make it: let the length of the ark be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
16 A light shalt thou make to the ark; and to a cubit high shalt thou finish it above. And the door of the ark shalt thou set in its side: [with] a lower, second, and third [story] shalt thou make it.
17 For I, behold, I bring a flood of waters on the earth, to destroy all flesh under the heavens in which is the breath of life: everything that is on the earth shall expire.
18 But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt go 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 fowl after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of each shall go in to thee, to keep [them] alive.
21 And take thou of all food that is eaten, and gather [it] to thee, that it may be for food for thee and for them.
22 And Noah did it; according to all that God had commanded him, so did he.
7 And Jehovah said to Noah, Go into the ark, thou and all thy house; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
2 Of all clean beasts thou shalt take to thee by sevens, a male and its female; but of the beasts that are not clean two, a male and its female.
3 Also of the fowl of the heavens by sevens, male and female; to keep seed alive on the face of all the earth.
4 For in yet seven days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living being which I have made will I destroy from the ground.
5 And Noah did according to all that Jehovah had commanded him.
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was on 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 fowl, and of everything that creeps on the ground,
9 there came two and two unto Noah into the ark, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were on the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that same day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the pour of rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 On the same day went 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 its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and all fowl after its kind—every bird of every wing.
15 And they went to Noah, into the ark, two and two of all flesh, in which was the breath of life.
16 And they that came, came male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him. And Jehovah shut him in.
17 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.
18 And the waters prevailed and increased greatly on the earth; and the ark went on the face of the waters.
19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth; and all the high mountains that are under all the heavens were covered.
20 Fifteen cubits upward the waters prevailed; and the mountains were covered.
21 And all flesh that moved on the earth expired, fowl as well as cattle, and beasts, and all crawling things which crawl on the earth, and all mankind:
22 everything which had in its nostrils the breath of life, of all that was on the dry [land], died.
23 And every living being was destroyed that was on the ground, both man, and cattle, and creeping things, and fowl of the heavens; and they were destroyed from the earth. And Noah alone remained, and what was with him in the ark.
24 And the waters prevailed on the earth a hundred and fifty days.
8 And God remembered Noah, and all the animals, 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.
2 And the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were closed, and the pour of rain from heaven was stopped.
3 And the waters retired from the earth, continually retiring; and in the course of a hundred and fifty days the waters abated.
4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
5 And the waters abated continually until the tenth month: in the tenth [month], on the first of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.
6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.
7 And he sent out the raven, which went forth going to and fro, until the waters were dried from the earth.
8 And he sent out the dove from him, to see if the waters had become low on the ground.
9 But the dove found no resting-place for the sole of her foot, and returned to him into the ark; for the waters were on the whole earth; and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ark.
10 And he waited yet other seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.
11 And the dove came to him at eventide; and behold, in her beak was an olive-leaf plucked off; and Noah knew that the waters had become low on the earth.
12 And he waited yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; but she returned no more to him.
13 And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first [month], on the first of the month, that the waters were dried up from the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the surface of the ground was dried.
14 And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15 And God spoke to Noah, saying,
16 Go out of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
17 Bring forth with thee every animal which is with thee, of all flesh, fowl as well as cattle, and all the creeping things which creep on the earth, that they may swarm on the earth, and may be fruitful and multiply on the earth.
18 And Noah went out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him.
19 All the animals, all the creeping things, and all the fowl—everything that moves on the earth, after their kinds, went out of the ark.
20 And Noah built an altar to Jehovah; and took of every clean animal, and of all clean fowl, and offered up burnt-offerings on the altar.
21 And Jehovah smelled the sweet odour. And Jehovah said in his heart, I will no more henceforth curse the ground on account of Man, for the thought of Man's heart is evil from his youth; and I will no more smite every living thing, as I have done.
22 Henceforth, all the days of the earth, seed [time] and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease.

Wickedness in the World
6 When human beings began to increase in number on the earth(A) and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God(B) saw that the daughters(C) of humans were beautiful,(D) and they married(E) any of them they chose. 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit(F) will not contend with[a] humans forever,(G) for they are mortal[b];(H) their days will be a hundred and twenty years.”
4 The Nephilim(I) were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans(J) and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.(K)
5 The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth,(L) and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.(M) 6 The Lord regretted(N) that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7 So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth(O) the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.(P)” 8 But Noah(Q) found favor in the eyes of the Lord.(R)
Noah and the Flood
9 This is the account(S) of Noah and his family.
Noah was a righteous man, blameless(T) among the people of his time,(U) and he walked faithfully with God.(V) 10 Noah had three sons: Shem,(W) Ham and Japheth.(X)
11 Now the earth was corrupt(Y) in God’s sight and was full of violence.(Z) 12 God saw how corrupt(AA) the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.(AB) 13 So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy(AC) both them and the earth.(AD) 14 So make yourself an ark of cypress[c] wood;(AE) make rooms in it and coat it with pitch(AF) inside and out. 15 This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.[d] 16 Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit[e] high all around.[f] Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks. 17 I am going to bring floodwaters(AG) on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish.(AH) 18 But I will establish my covenant with you,(AI) and you will enter the ark(AJ)—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you. 19 You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you.(AK) 20 Two(AL) of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind(AM) of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive.(AN) 21 You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them.”
22 Noah did everything just as God commanded him.(AO)
7 The Lord then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family,(AP) because I have found you righteous(AQ) in this generation. 2 Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean(AR) animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, 3 and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive(AS) throughout the earth. 4 Seven days from now I will send rain(AT) on the earth(AU) for forty days(AV) and forty nights,(AW) and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.(AX)”
5 And Noah did all that the Lord commanded him.(AY)
6 Noah was six hundred years old(AZ) when the floodwaters came on the earth. 7 And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives entered the ark(BA) to escape the waters of the flood. 8 Pairs of clean and unclean(BB) animals, of birds and of all creatures that move along the ground, 9 male and female, came to Noah and entered the ark, as God had commanded Noah.(BC) 10 And after the seven days(BD) the floodwaters came on the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life,(BE) on the seventeenth day of the second month(BF)—on that day all the springs of the great deep(BG) burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens(BH) were opened. 12 And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.(BI)
13 On that very day Noah and his sons,(BJ) Shem, Ham and Japheth, together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark.(BK) 14 They had with them every wild animal according to its kind, all livestock according to their kinds, every creature that moves along the ground according to its kind and every bird according to its kind,(BL) everything with wings. 15 Pairs of all creatures that have the breath of life in them came to Noah and entered the ark.(BM) 16 The animals going in were male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah.(BN) Then the Lord shut him in.
17 For forty days(BO) the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the earth. 18 The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water. 19 They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered.(BP) 20 The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than fifteen cubits.[g][h] (BQ) 21 Every living thing that moved on land perished—birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind.(BR) 22 Everything on dry land that had the breath of life(BS) in its nostrils died. 23 Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; people and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds were wiped from the earth.(BT) Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark.(BU)
24 The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days.(BV)
8 But God remembered(BW) Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth,(BX) and the waters receded. 2 Now the springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens(BY) had been closed, and the rain(BZ) had stopped falling from the sky. 3 The water receded steadily from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days(CA) the water had gone down, 4 and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month(CB) the ark came to rest on the mountains(CC) of Ararat.(CD) 5 The waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.
6 After forty days(CE) Noah opened a window he had made in the ark 7 and sent out a raven,(CF) and it kept flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth.(CG) 8 Then he sent out a dove(CH) to see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground. 9 But the dove could find nowhere to perch because there was water over all the surface of the earth; so it returned to Noah in the ark. He reached out his hand and took the dove and brought it back to himself in the ark. 10 He waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark. 11 When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf! Then Noah knew that the water had receded from the earth.(CI) 12 He waited seven more days and sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return to him.
13 By the first day of the first month of Noah’s six hundred and first year,(CJ) the water had dried up from the earth. Noah then removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry. 14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month(CK) the earth was completely dry.
15 Then God said to Noah, 16 “Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives.(CL) 17 Bring out every kind of living creature that is with you—the birds, the animals, and all the creatures that move along the ground—so they can multiply on the earth and be fruitful and increase in number on it.”(CM)
18 So Noah came out, together with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives.(CN) 19 All the animals and all the creatures that move along the ground and all the birds—everything that moves on land—came out of the ark, one kind after another.
20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord(CO) and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean(CP) birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings(CQ) on it. 21 The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma(CR) and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground(CS) because of humans, even though[i] every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood.(CT) And never again will I destroy(CU) all living creatures,(CV) as I have done.
