He named him Noah, saying, "This one will bring us comfort from our labor and from the painful toil of our hands because of the ground that the Lord has cursed."

Lamech lived 595 years after he became the father of Noah, and he had other sons and daughters.

After Noah was 500 years old, he became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

But Noah found favor in the sight of the Lord.

This is the account of Noah. Noah was a godly man; he was blameless among his contemporaries. He walked with God.

Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

So God said to Noah, "I have decided that all living creatures must die, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. Now I am about to destroy them and the earth.

And Noah did all that God commanded him -- he did indeed.

The Lord said to Noah, "Come into the ark, you and all your household, for I consider you godly among this generation.

And Noah did all that the Lord commanded him.

Noah was 600 years old when the floodwaters engulfed the earth.

Noah entered the ark along with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives because of the floodwaters.

male and female, came into the ark to Noah, just as God had commanded him.

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 heavens were opened.

On that very day Noah entered the ark, accompanied by his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, along with his wife and his sons' three wives.

Pairs of all creatures that have the breath of life came into the ark to Noah.

So the Lord destroyed every living thing that was on the surface of the ground, including people, animals, creatures that creep along the ground, and birds of the sky. They were wiped off the earth. Only Noah and those who were with him in the ark survived.

But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and domestic animals that were with him in the ark. God caused a wind to blow over the earth and the waters receded.

At the end of forty days, Noah opened the window he had made in the ark

Then Noah sent out a dove to see if the waters had receded from the surface of the ground.

The dove could not find a resting place for its feet because water still covered the surface of the entire earth, and so it returned to Noah in the ark. He stretched out his hand, took the dove, and brought it back into the ark.

When the dove returned to him in the evening, there was a freshly plucked olive leaf in its beak! Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth.

In Noah's six hundred and first year, in the first day of the first month, the waters had dried up from the earth, and Noah removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry.

Then God spoke to Noah and said,

Noah went out along with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives.

Noah built an altar to the Lord. He then took some of every kind of clean animal and clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

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

God said to Noah and his sons,

So God said to Noah, "This is the guarantee of the covenant that I am confirming between me and all living things that are on the earth."

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

These were the sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was populated.

Noah, a man of the soil, began to plant a vineyard.

When Noah awoke from his drunken stupor he learned what his youngest son had done to him.

After the flood Noah lived 350 years.

The entire lifetime of Noah was 950 years, and then he died.

This is the account of Noah's sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.

These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, by their nations, and from these the nations spread over the earth after the flood.

Now Zelophehad son of Hepher had no sons, but only daughters; and the names of the daughters of Zelophehad were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

Then the daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh of the families of Manasseh, the son Joseph came forward. Now these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

For the daughters of Zelophehad -- Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah -- were married to the sons of their uncles.

Now Zelophehad son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Makir, son of Manasseh, had no sons, only daughters. These are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

"As far as I am concerned, this is like in Noah's time, when I vowed that the waters of Noah's flood would never again cover the earth. In the same way I have vowed that I will not be angry at you or shout at you.

Even if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would save only their own lives by their righteousness, declares the sovereign Lord.

Even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as surely as I live, declares the sovereign Lord, they could not save their own son or daughter; they would save only their own lives by their righteousness.

For just like the days of Noah were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.

For in those days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark.

the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech,

Just as it was in the days of Noah, so too it will be in the days of the Son of Man.

People were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage -- right up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

By faith Noah, when he was warned about things not yet seen, with reverent regard constructed an ark for the deliverance of his family. Through faith he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.

after they were disobedient long ago when God patiently waited in the days of Noah as an ark was being constructed. In the ark a few, that is eight souls, were delivered through water.

and if he did not spare the ancient world, but did protect Noah, a herald of righteousness, along with seven others, when God brought a flood on an ungodly world,
