Now behold, I Myself am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which there is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall perish.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Now it came about after the seven days, that the waters of the flood came upon the earth.
-
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.
-
Then the flood came upon the earth for forty days, and the water increased and lifted up the ark, so that it rose above the earth.
-
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.
-
Also the fountains of the deep and the floodgates of the sky were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained;
-
I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall never again be eliminated by the waters of a flood, nor shall there again be a flood to destroy the earth.”
-
and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh.
-
Noah lived 350 years after the flood.
-
Descendants of Noah
Now these are the records of the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and sons were born to them after the flood.
-
These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their descendants, by their nations; and out of these the nations were separated on the earth after the flood.
-
Descendants of Shem
These are the records of the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old when he fathered Arpachshad, two years after the flood;
-
For the waves of death encompassed me; The floods of destruction terrified me;
-
Or darkness, so that you cannot see, And a flood of water covers you.
-
Terrors overtake him like a flood; A storm steals him away in the night.
-
“Who has split open a channel for the flood, And a way for the thunderbolt,
-
I am weary with my sighing; Every night I make my bed swim, I flood my couch with my tears.
-
The Lord sat as King at the flood; Yes, the Lord sits as King forever.
-
Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You in a time when You may be found; Certainly in a flood of great waters, they will not reach him.
-
I have sunk in deep mud, and there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and a flood overflows me.
-
May the flood of water not overflow me Nor the deep swallow me up, Nor the pit close its mouth on me.
-
You have swept them away like a flood, they fall asleep; In the morning they are like grass that sprouts anew.
