The Ark Prepared
And God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
-
Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.
-
And this is how you shall make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.
-
You shall make a window for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above; and set the door of the ark in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third decks.
-
But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall go into the ark—you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.
-
And of every living thing of all flesh you shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.
-
The Great Flood
Then the Lord said to Noah, “Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation.
-
So Noah, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, went into the ark because of the waters of the flood.
-
two by two they went into the ark to Noah, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.
-
On the very same day Noah and Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark—
-
And they went into the ark to Noah, two by two, of all flesh in which is the breath of life.
-
Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it rose high above the earth.
-
The waters prevailed and greatly increased on the earth, and the ark moved about on the surface of the waters.
-
So He destroyed all living things which were on the face of the ground: both man and cattle, creeping thing and bird of the air. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah and those who were with him in the ark remained alive.
-
Noah’s Deliverance
Then God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.
-
Then the ark rested in the seventh month, the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
-
So it came to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.
-
But the dove found no resting place for the sole of her foot, and she returned into the ark to him, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took her, and drew her into the ark to himself.
-
And he waited yet another seven days, and again he sent the dove out from the ark.
-
And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, that the waters were dried up from the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and indeed the surface of the ground was dry.
-
“Go out of the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons’ wives with you.
-
Every animal, every creeping thing, every bird, and whatever creeps on the earth, according to their families, went out of the ark.
-
and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ark, every beast of the earth.
-
Noah and His Sons
Now the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham was the father of Canaan.
