And he called his name Noah, saying, "This one {shall relieve us} from our work, and from the hard labor of our hands, from the ground which Yahweh had cursed.

And after Lamech had fathered Noah he lived five hundred and ninety-five years, and he fathered sons and daughters.

When Noah {was five hundred years old}, Noah fathered Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

But Noah found favor in the eyes of Yahweh.

These [are] the generations of Noah. Noah [was] a righteous man, without defect in his generations. Noah walked with God.

And Noah fathered three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

And God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh [has] come before me, for the earth was filled [with] violence because of them. Now, look, I [am going] to destroy them [along] with the earth.

And Noah did according to all that God commanded him; thus he did.

Then Yahweh said to Noah, "Go--you and all your household--into the ark, for I have seen you [are] righteous before me in this generation.

And Noah did according to all that Yahweh commanded him.

Noah {was six hundred years old} when the flood waters came upon the earth.

And Noah and his sons and his wife, and the wives of his sons with him, went into the ark because of the waters of the flood.

{two of each} went to Noah, into the ark, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.

In the six hundredth year of the life of Noah, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month--on that day all the springs of the great deep were split open, and the windows of heaven were opened.

On this same day, Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and the wife of Noah and the three wives of his sons with them, went into the ark,

And they came to Noah to the ark, {two of each}, from every living thing in which [was] the breath of life.

And he blotted out every living thing upon the surface of the ground, from humankind, to animals, to creeping things, and to the birds of heaven; they were blotted out from the earth. Only Noah and those who [were] with him in the ark remained.

And God remembered Noah and all the wild animals, and all the domesticated animals that [were] with him in the ark. And God caused a wind to blow over the earth, and the waters subsided.

And it happened [that] at the end of forty days Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made.

And the dove came to him {in the evening}, and behold, a freshly-picked olive tree leaf [was] in her mouth. And Noah knew that the waters had subsided from upon the earth.

And it happened that, in the six hundred and first year, in the first [month], on the first [day] of the month, the waters dried up from upon the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked. And behold, the face of the ground was dried up.

And God spoke to Noah, saying:

So Noah went out, with his sons and his wife, and the wives of his sons with him.

And Noah built an altar to Yahweh, and he took from all the clean animals and from all the clean birds, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.

And God said to Noah and to his sons with him,

And God said to Noah, "This [is] the sign of the covenant which I am establishing between me and all flesh that [is] upon the earth.

Now the sons of Noah who came out of the ark [were] Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham [was] the father of Canaan.)

These three [were] the sons of Noah, and from these {the whole earth was populated}.

And Noah began [to be] a man of the ground, and he planted a vineyard.

Then Noah awoke from his drunkenness, and he knew what his youngest son had done to him.

And Noah lived three hundred and fifty years after the flood.

And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died.

These [are] the generations of the sons of Noah--Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Children were born to them after the flood.

These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations [and] in their nations. And from these the nations spread abroad on the earth after the flood.
