And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died.

When Methuselah was a hundred and eighty-seven years old, he became the father of Lamech.

And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters:

And all the years of Methuselah's life were nine hundred and sixty-nine: and he came to his end.

And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:

He named him Noah, saying, “This one shall bring us rest and comfort from our work and from the [dreadful] toil of our hands because of the ground which the Lord cursed.”

And all the years of Lamech's life were seven hundred and seventy-seven: and he came to his end.

And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

and sons of God see the daughters of men that they are fair, and they take to themselves women of all whom they have chosen.

And Jehovah saith, 'My Spirit doth not strive in man -- to the age; in their erring they are flesh:' and his days have been an hundred and twenty years.

There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

And Jehovah seeth that abundant is the wickedness of man in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart only evil all the day;

And the LORD was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart.

And Jehovah said, I will destroy Man, whom I have created, from the earth from man to cattle, to creeping things, and to fowl of the heavens; for I repent that I have made them.

And the earth shall be corrupted to the face of God; and the earth shall be filled with violence.

And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me, for the earth is full of violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

Make to thee a box of pitch wood; nests shalt thou make in the ark, and cover it from within and from without with pitch.

This is the way you are to make it: the length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits (450’ x 75’ x 45’).

A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.

And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.

However, I will establish my own covenant with you, and you are to enter the ark you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives.

And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.

Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.

And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.

Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.

And Jehovah said to Noah, Go into the ark, thou and all thy house; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.

Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.

And Noah did according to all that Jehovah had commanded him.

Noah was 600 years old when water began to flood the earth.

And Noah shall come in, and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him to the ark from the face of the water of the flood.

There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.

And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

(And it came to pass that the heavy rain was on the earth, - forty days and forty nights.)

In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;

they and every animal according to its kind, all the livestock according to their kinds, every moving thing that crawls on the earth according to its kind, and every bird according to its kind, every winged thing of every sort.

And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.

And they going in, went in male and female from all flesh according to which God commanded him: and Jehovah shut him within.

And it came to pass, that the flood was forty days on the earth, - and the waters increased and bare up the ark, and it was lifted high above the earth,

The flood waters continued to surge, increasing throughout the earth, while the ark floated on the surface of the flood water.

All living beings that moved on the earth perished—birds and cattle (domestic animals), [wild] animals, all things that swarm and crawl on the earth, and all mankind.

Everything on the dry land, in which was the breath of life, came to its end.

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 every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;

And turn back do the waters from off the earth, going on and returning; and the waters are lacking at the end of a hundred and fifty days.

And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.

And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:

And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.

Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;

but the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him to the ark; for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her in unto him into the ark.

And he stayeth yet other seven days, and addeth to send forth the dove from the ark;

And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.

And he waited yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; but she returned no more to him.

And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.

And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.

And God spoke to Noah, saying,

"It's time for you, your wife, your sons, and your sons' wives who are with you to leave the ark.

Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, [and] everything [that] moves upon the earth, according to its families, went out from the ark.

And Noah built an altar to Jehovah; and took of every clean animal, and of all clean fowl, and offered up burnt-offerings on the altar.

and Jehovah smelleth the sweet fragrance, and Jehovah saith unto His heart, 'I continue not to disesteem any more the ground because of man, though the imagination of the heart of man is evil from his youth; and I continue not to smite any more all living, as I have done;

While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

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

All the living creatures of the earth will be filled with fear and terror of you from now on, including all the creatures that fly in the sky, everything that crawls on the ground, and all the fish of the ocean. They've been assigned to live under your dominion.

Every creeping thing that is alive, to you it is for food; as the green herb I have given to you the whole;

only flesh in its life -- its blood -- ye do not eat.

'And only your blood for your lives do I require; from the hand of every living thing I require it, and from the hand of man, from the hand of every man's brother I require the life of man;

"Whoever sheds human blood, by a human his own blood is to be shed; because God made human beings in his own image.

And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,

“Now behold, I Myself do establish My covenant with you, and with your descendants after you;

And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.

And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.

And God saith, 'This is a token of the covenant which I am giving between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, to generations age-during;

I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

and the bow hath been in the cloud, and I have seen it -- to remember the covenant age-during between God and every living creature among all flesh which is on the earth.'

And God said to Noah, This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:

And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.

Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, and the two of them put [it] on [their] shoulders and, walking backward, they covered the nakedness of their father. And their faces [were turned] backward, so that they did not see the nakedness of their father.

And Noah awoke from his wine, and learned what his youngest son had done to him.

And he said, Cursed be Canaan; Let him be a bondman of bondmen to his brethren.

And he saith: 'Blessed of Jehovah my God is Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.

God doth give beauty to Japheth, And he dwelleth in tents of Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.'

all the years of his life were nine hundred and fifty: and he came to his end.

And these are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and to them were sons born after the flood.

From these came the distribution of the isles of the nations, according to their lands, every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

he hath begun to be a hero in the land; he hath been a hero in hunting before Jehovah; therefore it is said, 'As Nimrod the hero in hunting before Jehovah.'

So the beginning of his kingdom came to be Babel, and Erech, and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

from that land he hath gone out to Asshur, and buildeth Nineveh, even the broad places of the city, and Calah,

and [Nimrod built] Resen, which is between Nineveh and Calah; all these [combined to form] the great city [Nineveh].

And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.

These [are] the descendants of Ham, according to their families and their languages, in their lands, and in their nations.

Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.

And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.

And their dwelling was from Mesha, as one goes to Sephar, the eastern mountain.
