Adam lived one hundred thirty years, and became the father of a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Shet.

The LORD said, "My spirit will not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; yet will his days be one hundred twenty years."

The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the eretz, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

The LORD was sorry that he had made man on the eretz, and it grieved him in his heart.

This is the history of the generations of Noach. Noach was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noach walked with God.

You shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his female.

Noach went into the teivah with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives, because of the waters of the flood.

In the same day Noach, and Shem, Ham, and Yefet, the sons of Noach, and Noach's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the teivah;

but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him into the teivah; for the waters were on the surface of the whole eretz. He put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the teivah.

Noach went forth, with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives with him.

The LORD smelled the sweet savor. The LORD said in his heart, "I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake, because the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I ever again strike everything living, as I have done.

God blessed Noach and his sons, and said to them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the eretz.

Whoever sheds man's blood, by man will his blood be shed, for in the image of God made he man.

God spoke to Noach, and to his sons with him, saying,

He drank of the wine, and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent.

Ham, the father of Kana`an, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.

Noach awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.

He said, "Cursed be Kana`an; A servant of servants will he be to his brothers."

He said, "Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem; Let Kana`an be his servant.

God enlarge Yefet, Let him dwell in the tents of Shem; Let Kana`an be his servant."
