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

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

   The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
   And God looked upon the earth. And, behold, it was corrupted! For all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth.

   And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them. And, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
   Make an ark of cyprus timbers. You shall make rooms in the ark. And you shall pitch it inside and outside with pitch.
   And this is the way you shall make it. The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it shall be fifty cubits and its height thirty cubits.
   You shall make a window in the ark, and you shall finish it above to a cubit. And you shall set the door of the ark in the side of it. You shall make it with lower, second and third stories.
   And behold! I, even I, am bringing a flood of waters upon the earth in order to destroy all flesh (in which is the breath of life) from under the heavens. Everything which is in the earth shall die.
   But I will establish My covenant with you. And you shall come into the ark, you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you.

  And you shall bring into the ark two of every kind , of every living thing of all flesh, to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female.
   Two of every kind shall come to you to keep them alive; of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind.
   And take for yourself all food that is eaten, and you shall gather for yourself. And it shall be for food, for you and for them.

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


   And the LORD said to Noah, You and all your house come into the ark, for I have seen you righteous before Me in this generation.
   You shall take with you every clean animal by sevens, the male and female. And take two of the animals that are not clean, the male and female.
  Also take of the fowls of the air by sevens, the male and the female, to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
   For in seven more days I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights. And I will destroy from off the face of the earth every living thing that I have made.

  And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him.
   And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
   And Noah went in. And his sons and his wife and his sons' wives went in with him into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
   Of the clean animals, and of the animals that were not clean, and of the fowls, and of everything that creeps on the earth,
   two by two they went in to Noah into the ark, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.
   And it happened after seven days that the waters of the flood came into being on the earth.

   In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, in this day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of the heavens were opened up.
   And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

In this same day, Noah and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ark.
   They went in, and every animal after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth after its kind, and every fowl after its kind, every bird of every sort.
  And they went in to Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, in which is the breath of life.
   And they that entered, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him. And the LORD shut him in.

  And the flood was upon the earth forty days. And the waters increased and bore up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth.
   And the waters prevailed and were increased greatly upon the earth. And the ark floated upon the face of the waters.
  And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth. And all the high hills that were under the whole heaven were covered.
   The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered.

   And all flesh that moved upon the face of the earth died, of birds, of cattle, of animal, and of every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth; and every man,
   all who breathed the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
   And every living thing which was on the face of the earth was destroyed, from man to cattle, and to the creeping things, and the fowls of the heavens. And they were destroyed from the earth, and only Noah was left, and those that were with him in the ark.
   And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.

And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle which were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.
   Also the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and rain from heaven was restrained.
   And the waters returned from off the earth continually. And after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters had gone down.

   And in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat.
   And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month . And the tops of the mountains were seen in the tenth month on the first day of the month.

   And it happened, at the end of forty days Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.
   And he sent forth a raven, and it went out, going out and returning until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
   He also sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters had gone down from off the face of the earth.
   But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot. And she returned to him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth. Then he put out his hand and took her, and pulled her in to him into the ark.
   And he waited yet another seven days. And again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.
   And the dove came in to him in the evening. And, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that the waters had gone down from off the earth.
   And he waited yet another seven days, and sent forth the dove. And she did not return again to him any more.

   And it happened in the six hundred and first year, at the beginning, on the first of the month, that 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 earth was dried!
   And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.

   And God spoke to Noah, saying,
   Go out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and your sons' wives with you.
   Bring out with you every living thing that is with you, of all flesh, of fowl, of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth, so that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful and multiply upon the earth.
   And Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him.
   Every animal, every fowl, and every creeping thing, all which creeps upon the earth after their families, went forth out of the ark.
