These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a iust man, and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

And Noah begate three sonnes: Sem, Ham, and Iapheth.

The earth also was corrupt before God; and the earth was filled with violence.

And God looked vpon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt: for all flesh had corrupted his way vpon the earth.

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

Make thee an Arke of Gopher-wood: roomes shalt thou make in the arke, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

And this is the fashion, which thou shalt make it of: the length of the arke shalbe three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirtie cubits.

A window shalt thou make to the arke, and in a cubite shalt thou finish it aboue; and the doore of the arke shalt thou set in the side thereof: With lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.

And behold, I, euen I doe bring a flood of waters vpon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life from vnder heauen, and euery thing that is in the earth shall die.

But with thee wil I establish my Couenant: and thou shalt come into the Arke, thou, and thy sonnes, and thy wife, and thy sonnes wiues with thee.

And of euery liuing thing of all flesh, two of euery sort shalt thou bring into the Arke, to keepe them aliue with thee: they shall be male and female.

Of fowles after their kinde, and of cattel after their kinde: of euery creeping thing of the earth after his kinde, two of euery sort shall come vnto thee, to keepe them aliue.

And take thou vnto 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 the LORD saide vnto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the Arke: for thee haue I seene righteous before me, in this generation.

Of euery cleane beast thou shalt take to thee by seuens, the male and his female: and of beastes that are not cleane, by two, the male and his female.

Of fowles also of the aire, by seuens, the male & the female; to keepe seed aliue vpon the face of all the earth.

For yet seuen dayes, and I will cause it to raine vpon the earth, fortie dayes, and forty nights: and euery liuing substance that I haue made, will I destroy, fro off the face of the earth.

And Noah did according vnto all that the LORD commanded him.

And Noah was sixe hundred yeeres old, when the flood of waters was vpon the earth.

And Noah went in, and his sonnes, and his wife, and his sonnes wiues with him, into the Arke, because of the waters of the Flood.

Of cleane beasts, & of beasts that are not cleane, & of fowles, and of euery thing that creepeth vpon the earth,

There went in two and two vnto Noah into the Arke, the male & the female, as God had commanded Noah.

And it came to passe after seuen dayes, that the waters of the Flood were vpon the earth.

In the sixe hundredth yeere of Noahs life, in the second moneth, the seuenteenth day of the moneth, the same day, were al the fountaines of the great deepe broken vp, and the windowes of heauen were opened.

And the raine was vpon the earth, fortie dayes, and fortie nights.

In the selfe same day entred Noah, and Sem, and Ham, and Iapheth, the sonnes of Noah, and Noahs wife, and the three wiues of his sonnes with them, into the Arke,

They, and euery beast after his kinde, & all the cattell after their kinde: and euery creeping thing that creepeth vpon the earth after his kinde, and euery foule after his kinde, euery birde of euery sort.

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

And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commaunded him: and the LORD shut him in.

And the Flood was fortie dayes vpon the earth, and the waters increased, and bare vp the Arke, and it was lift vp aboue the earth.

And the waters preuailed, and were encreased greatly vpon the earth: and the Arke went vpon the face of the waters.

And the waters preuailed exceedingly vpon the earth, and all the high hils, that were vnder the whole heauen, were couered.

Fifteene cubits vpward, did the waters preuaile; and the mountaines were couered.

And all flesh died, that mooued vpon the earth, both of fowle, & of cattell, and of beast, and of euery creeping thing that creepeth vpon the earth, and euery man.

All in whose nosethrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.

And euery liuing substance was destroyed, which was vpon the face of the ground, both man and cattell, and the creeping things, and the foule of the heauen; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah onely remained aliue, and they that were with him in the Arke.

And the waters preuailed vpon the earth, an hundred and fifty dayes.

And God remembred Noah, and euery liuing thing, and all the cattell that was with him in the Arke: and God made a winde to passe ouer the earth, and the waters asswaged.

The fountaines also of the deepe, and the windowes of heauen were stopped, and the raine from heauen was restrained.

And the waters returned from off the earth, continually: and after the end of the hundred and fiftie dayes, the waters were abated.

And the Arke rested in the seuenth moneth, on the seuenteenth day of the moneth, vpon the mountaines of Ararat.

And the waters decreased continually vntill the tenth moneth: in the tenth moneth, on the first day of the moneth, were the tops of the mountaines seene.

And it came to passe at the end of forty dayes, that Noah opened the window of the Arke which he had made.

And he sent forth a Rauen, which went foorth to and fro, vntill the waters were dried vp from off the earth.

Also hee sent foorth a doue from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground.

But the doue found no rest for the sole of her foote, and she returned vnto him into the Arke: for the waters were on the face of the whole earth. Then he put foorth his hand, and tooke her, and pulled her in vnto him, into the Arke.

And hee stayed yet other seuen dayes; and againe hee sent foorth the doue out of the Arke.

And the doue came in to him in the euening, and loe, in her mouth was an Oliue leafe pluckt off: So Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.

And hee stayed yet other seuen dayes, and sent forth the doue, which returned not againe vnto him any more.

And it came to passe in the sixe hundredth and one yeere, in the first moneth, the first day of the moneth, the waters were dryed vp from off the earth: and Noah remooued the couering of the Arke, and looked, and behold, the face of the ground was drie.

And in the second moneth, on the seuen and twentieth day of the moneth, was the earth dried.

And God spake vnto Noah, saying,

Goe foorth of the Arke, thou, and thy wife, and thy sonnes, and thy sonnes wiues with thee:

Bring foorth with thee euery liuing thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowle, and of cattell, and of euery creeping thing that creepeth vpon the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitfull, and multiply vpon the earth.

And Noah went foorth, and his sonnes, and his wife, and his sonnes wiues with him:

Euery beast, euery creeping thing, and euery fowle, and whatsoeuer creepeth vpon the earth, after their kinds, went foorth out of the Arke.
