-
And he named him Noah, saying, “This one will give us comfort from our work and from the hard labor of our hands caused by the ground which the Lord has cursed.”
-
Then Lamech lived 595 years after he fathered Noah, and he fathered other sons and daughters.
-
Now after Noah was five hundred years old, Noah fathered Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
-
But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.
-
These are the records of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation. Noah walked with God.
-
And Noah fathered three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
-
Then God said to Noah, “The end of humanity has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of people; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth.
-
So Noah did these things; according to everything that God had commanded him, so he did.
-
The Flood
Then the Lord said to Noah, “Enter the ark, you and all your household, for you alone I have seen to be righteous before Me in this generation.
-
So Noah acted in accordance with everything that the Lord had commanded him.
-
Now Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of water came upon the earth.
-
Then Noah and his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives with him entered the ark because of the waters of the flood.
-
they all went into the ark to Noah by twos, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.
-
In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened.
-
On this very same day Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark,
-
So they went into the ark to Noah, by twos of all flesh in which there was the breath of life.
-
So He wiped out every living thing that was upon the face of the land, from mankind to animals, to crawling things, and the birds of the sky, and they were wiped out from the earth; and only Noah was left, together with those that were with him in the ark.
-
The Flood Subsides
But God remembered Noah and all the animals and all the livestock that were with him in the ark; and God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the water subsided.
-
Then it came about at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made;
-
And the dove came to him in the evening, and behold, in its beak was a fresh olive leaf. So Noah knew that the water was low on the earth.
-
Now it came about in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first of the month, that the water was dried up from the earth. Then Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the surface of the ground had dried up.
-
Then God spoke to Noah, saying,
-
So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him.
-
Then Noah built an altar to the Lord, and took some of every kind of clean animal and some of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
-
Covenant of the Rainbow
Then God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.
