Genesis 8-11 (Young's Literal Translation)

Genesis 8

 ¹And God remembereth Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle which [are] with him in the ark, and God causeth a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subside,

 ²and closed are the fountains of the deep and the net-work of the heavens, and restrained is the shower from the heavens.

 ³And turn back do the waters from off the earth, going on and returning; and the waters are lacking at the end of a hundred and fifty days.

 ⁴And the ark resteth, in the seventh month, in the seventeenth day of the month, on mountains of Ararat;

 ⁵and the waters have been going and becoming lacking till the tenth month; in the tenth [month], on the first of the month, appeared the heads of the mountains.

 ⁶And it cometh to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah openeth the window of the ark which he made,

 ⁷and he sendeth forth the raven, and it goeth out, going out and turning back till the drying of the waters from off the earth.

 ⁸And he sendeth forth the dove from him to see whether the waters have been lightened from off the face of the ground,

 ⁹and the dove hath not found rest for the sole of her foot, and she turneth back unto him, unto the ark, for waters [are] on the face of all the earth, and he putteth out his hand, and taketh her, and bringeth her in unto him, unto the ark.

 ¹⁰And he stayeth yet other seven days, and addeth to send forth the dove from the ark;

 ¹¹and the dove cometh in unto him at even-time, and lo, an olive leaf torn off in her mouth; and Noah knoweth that the waters have been lightened from off the earth.

 ¹²And he stayeth yet other seven days, and sendeth forth the dove, and it added not to turn back unto him any more.

 ¹³And it cometh to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first [month], in the first of the month, the waters have been dried from off the earth; and Noah turneth aside the covering of the ark, and looketh, and lo, the face of the ground hath been dried.

 ¹⁴And in the second month, in the seven and twentieth day of the month, the earth hath become dry.

 ¹⁵And God speaketh unto Noah, saying, `Go out from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee;

 ¹⁶every living thing that [is] with thee, of all flesh, among fowl, and among cattle, and among every creeping thing which is creeping on the earth, bring out with thee;

 ¹⁷and they have teemed in the earth, and been fruitful, and have multiplied on the earth.'

 ¹⁸And Noah goeth out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him;

 ¹⁹every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl; every creeping thing on the earth, after their families, have gone out from the ark.

 ²⁰And Noah buildeth an altar to Jehovah, and taketh of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and causeth burnt-offerings to ascend on the altar;

 ²¹and Jehovah smelleth the sweet fragrance, and Jehovah saith unto His heart, `I continue not to disesteem any more the ground because of man, though the imagination of the heart of man [is] evil from his youth; and I continue not to smite any more all living, as I have done;

 ²²during all days of the earth, seed-time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, do not cease.'

Genesis 9

 ¹And God blesseth Noah, and his sons, and saith to them, `Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth;

 ²and your fear and your dread is on every beast of the earth, and on every fowl of the heavens, on all that creepeth on the ground, and on all fishes of the sea -- into your hand they have been given.

 ³Every creeping thing that is alive, to you it is for food; as the green herb I have given to you the whole;

 ⁴only flesh in its life -- its blood -- ye do not eat.

 ⁵`And only your blood for your lives do I require; from the hand of every living thing I require it, and from the hand of man, from the hand of every man's brother I require the life of man;

 ⁶whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man is his blood shed: for in the image of God hath He made man.

 ⁷And ye, be fruitful and multiply, teem in the earth, and multiply in it.'

 ⁸And God speaketh unto Noah, and unto his sons with him, saying,

 ⁹`And I, lo, I am establishing My covenant with you, and with your seed after you,

 ¹⁰and with every living creature which [is] with you, among fowl, among cattle, and among every beast of the earth with you, from all who are going out of the ark -- to every beast of the earth.

 ¹¹And I have established My covenant with you, and all flesh is not any more cut off by waters of a deluge, and there is not any more a deluge to destroy the earth.'

 ¹²And God saith, `This is a token of the covenant which I am giving between Me and you, and every living creature that [is] with you, to generations age-during;

 ¹³My bow I have given in the cloud, and it hath been for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth;

 ¹⁴and it hath come to pass (in My sending a cloud over the earth) that the bow hath been seen in the cloud,

 ¹⁵and I have remembered My covenant which is between Me and you, and every living creature among all flesh, and the waters become no more a deluge to destroy all flesh;

 ¹⁶and the bow hath been in the cloud, and I have seen it -- to remember the covenant age-during between God and every living creature among all flesh which [is] on the earth.'

 ¹⁷And God saith unto Noah, `This [is] a token of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that [is] upon the earth.'

 ¹⁸And the sons of Noah who are going out of the ark are Shem, and Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is father of Canaan.

 ¹⁹These three [are] sons of Noah, and from these hath all the earth been overspread.

 ²⁰And Noah remaineth a man of the ground, and planteth a vineyard,

 ²¹and drinketh of the wine, and is drunken, and uncovereth himself in the midst of the tent.

 ²²And Ham, father of Canaan, seeth the nakedness of his father, and declareth to his two brethren without.

 ²³And Shem taketh -- Japheth also -- the garment, and they place on the shoulder of them both, and go backward, and cover the nakedness of their father; and their faces [are] backward, and their father's nakedness they have not seen.

 ²⁴And Noah awaketh from his wine, and knoweth that which his young son hath done to him,

 ²⁵and saith: `Cursed [is] Canaan, Servant of servants he is to his brethren.'

 ²⁶And he saith: `Blessed of Jehovah my God [is] Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.

 ²⁷God doth give beauty to Japheth, And he dwelleth in tents of Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.'

 ²⁸And Noah liveth after the deluge three hundred and fifty years;

 ²⁹and all the days of Noah are nine hundred and fifty years, and he dieth.

Genesis 10

 ¹And these [are] births of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and born to them are sons after the deluge.

 ²`Sons of Japheth [are] Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

 ³And sons of Gomer [are] Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.

 ⁴And sons of Javan [are] Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

 ⁵By these have the isles of the nations been parted in their lands, each by his tongue, by their families, in their nations.

 ⁶And sons of Ham [are] Cush, and Mitzraim, and Phut, and Canaan.

 ⁷And sons of Cush [are] Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah; and sons of Raamah [are] Sheba and Dedan.

 ⁸And Cush hath begotten Nimrod;

 ⁹he hath begun to be a hero in the land; he hath been a hero in hunting before Jehovah; therefore it is said, `As Nimrod the hero [in] hunting before Jehovah.'

 ¹⁰And the first part of his kingdom is Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar;

 ¹¹from that land he hath gone out to Asshur, and buildeth Nineveh, even the broad places of the city, and Calah,

 ¹²and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah; it [is] the great city.

 ¹³And Mitzraim hath begotten the Ludim, and the Anamim, and the Lehabim, and the Naphtuhim,

 ¹⁴and the Pathrusim, and the Casluhim, (whence have come out Philistim,) and the Caphtorim.

 ¹⁵And Canaan hath begotten Sidon his first-born, and Heth,

 ¹⁶and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,

 ¹⁷and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,

 ¹⁸and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite; and afterwards have the families of the Canaanite been scattered.

 ¹⁹And the border of the Canaanite is from Sidon, [in] thy coming towards Gerar, unto Gaza; [in] thy coming towards Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, unto Lasha.

 ²⁰These [are] sons of Ham, by their families, by their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.

 ²¹As to Shem, father of all sons of Eber, brother of Japheth the elder, he hath also begotten:

 ²²Sons of Shem [are] Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

 ²³And sons of Aram [are] Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.

 ²⁴And Arphaxad hath begotten Salah, and Salah hath begotten Eber.

 ²⁵And to Eber have two sons been born; the name of the one [is] Peleg (for in his days hath the earth been divided,) and his brother's name [is] Joktan.

 ²⁶And Joktan hath begotten Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,

 ²⁷and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,

 ²⁸and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,

 ²⁹and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab; all these [are] sons of Joktan;

 ³⁰and their dwelling is from Mesha, [in] thy coming towards Sephar, a mount of the east.

 ³¹These [are] sons of Shem, by their families, by their tongues, in their lands, by their nations.

 ³²These [are] families of the sons of Noah, by their births, in their nations, and by these have the nations been parted in the earth after the deluge.

Genesis 11

 ¹And the whole earth is of one pronunciation, and of the same words,

 ²and it cometh to pass, in their journeying from the east, that they find a valley in the land of Shinar, and dwell there;

 ³and they say each one to his neighbour, `Give help, let us make bricks, and burn [them] thoroughly:' and the brick is to them for stone, and the bitumen hath been to them for mortar.

 ⁴And they say, `Give help, let us build for ourselves a city and tower, and its head in the heavens, and make for ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of all the earth.'

 ⁵And Jehovah cometh down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have builded;

 ⁶and Jehovah saith, `Lo, the people [is] one, and one pronunciation [is] to them all, and this it hath dreamed of doing; and now, nothing is restrained from them of that which they have purposed to do.

 ⁷Give help, let us go down, and mingle there their pronunciation, so that a man doth not understand the pronunciation of his companion.'

 ⁸And Jehovah doth scatter them from thence over the face of all the earth, and they cease to build the city;

 ⁹therefore hath [one] called its name Babel, for there hath Jehovah mingled the pronunciation of all the earth, and from thence hath Jehovah scattered them over the face of all the earth.

 ¹⁰These [are] births of Shem: Shem [is] a son of an hundred years, and begetteth Arphaxad two years after the deluge.

 ¹¹And Shem liveth after his begetting Arphaxad five hundred years, and begetteth sons and daughters.

 ¹²And Arphaxad hath lived five and thirty years, and begetteth Salah.

 ¹³And Arphaxad liveth after his begetting Salah four hundred and three years, and begetteth sons and daughters.

 ¹⁴And Salah hath lived thirty years, and begetteth Eber.

 ¹⁵And Salah liveth after his begetting Eber four hundred and three years, and begetteth sons and daughters.

 ¹⁶And Eber liveth four and thirty years, and begetteth Peleg.

 ¹⁷And Eber liveth after his begetting Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begetteth sons and daughters.

 ¹⁸And Peleg liveth thirty years, and begetteth Reu.

 ¹⁹And Peleg liveth after his begetting Reu two hundred and nine years, and begetteth sons and daughters.

 ²⁰And Reu liveth two and thirty years, and begetteth Serug.

 ²¹And Reu liveth after his begetting Serug two hundred and seven years, and begetteth sons and daughters.

 ²²And Serug liveth thirty years, and begetteth Nahor.

 ²³And Serug liveth after his begetting Nahor two hundred years, and begetteth sons and daughters.

 ²⁴And Nahor liveth nine and twenty years, and begetteth Terah.

 ²⁵And Nahor liveth after his begetting Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begetteth sons and daughters.

 ²⁶And Terah liveth seventy years, and begetteth Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

 ²⁷And these [are] births of Terah: Terah hath begotten Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran hath begotten Lot;

 ²⁸and Haran dieth in the presence of Terah his father, in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.

 ²⁹And Abram and Nahor take to themselves wives; the name of Abram's wife [is] Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife [is] Milcah, daughter of Haran, father of Milcah, and father of Iscah.

 ³⁰And Sarai is barren -- she hath no child.

 ³¹And Terah taketh Abram his son, and Lot, son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, wife of Abram his son, and they go out with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go towards the land of Canaan; and they come unto Charan, and dwell there.

 ³²And the days of Terah are two hundred and five years, and Terah dieth in Charan.
