The worldwide flood
to
destroy the world the first time
Gen.5
[32] And Noah
was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Gen.6
[1] And it came to pass, when men
began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
[2] That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair;
and they took them wives of all which they chose.
[3] And Yehovah
said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for
that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
[4]
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.
[5]
And Yehovah saw that the wickedness of man was great in the
earth, and
that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
[6] And it repented Yehovah
that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
[7] And Yehovah said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the
face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls
of the air; for it
repents me that I have made them.
[8] But Noah found grace in the eyes of Yehovah.
[9] These are the
generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and
Noah walked with God.
[10] And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
[11] The earth also was
corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
[12] And God looked upon the earth,
and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the
earth.
[13] And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come
before me; for
the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy
them with the earth.
[14] Make you an
ark of gopher wood; rooms shall you make in the ark, and shall pitch
it within and without with
pitch.
[15] And this is the fashion which you shall make it of:
The length of the ark shall
be three hundred cubits – 450 feet, the breadth of it fifty cubits 75 feet, and the height of it
thirty cubits 45 feet.
[16] A window shall you
make to the ark, and in a cubit shall you finish it above; and the door of the
ark shall you set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories
shall you make it.
[17] 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 everything that is in the earth shall die.
[18] But with you will I
establish my covenant; and you shall come into the ark, you, and your sons, and
your wife, and your sons' wives with you.
[19] And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shall
you bring into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and
female.
[20] 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 you, to keep them alive.
[21] And take you unto you of all food that is eaten, and you shall
gather it to you; and it shall be for food for you, and for them.
[22] Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
Gen.7
[1] And Yehovah said unto Noah,
Come you and all your house into the ark; for you have
I seen righteous before me in this generation.
[2] Of every clean beast you shall take to you
by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not
clean by two, the male and his female.
[3] Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the
female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
[4] 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.
[5] And Noah did according unto all that Yehovah commanded him.
[6] And Noah was six hundred years old
when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
[7] And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his
sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
[8] Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and
of everything that creeps upon the earth,
[9] There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the
female, as God had commanded Noah.
[10] And it came to pass after seven days, that
the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
[11] 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.
[12] And the rain was
upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
[13] 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;
[14] They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after
their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth after his kind,
and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
[15] And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh,
wherein is the breath of life.
[16] And they that went in, went in male and
female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and Yehovah
shut him in.
[17] And the flood was forty
days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.
[18] And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the
earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
[19] And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all
the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were
covered.
[20] Fifteen
cubits 22.5 feet upward did the waters prevail; and the
mountains were covered.
[21] And all
flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of
beast, and of every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth, and every man: [22]
All in whose nostrils was the breath of
life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
[23] And every living substance was destroyed which
was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things,
and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the
earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the
ark.
Gen.8
[1] 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;
[2] The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were
stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
[3] And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after
the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
[4] And the ark rested in the seventh month, on
the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
[5] 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.
[6] And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that
Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
[7] And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the
waters were dried up from off the earth.
[8] Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated
from off the face of the ground;
[9] But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she
returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole
earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him
into the ark.
[10] And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth
the dove out of the ark;
[11] 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.
[12] And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove;
which returned not again unto him any more.
[13] 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.
[14] And in the
second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
[15] And God spoke unto
Noah, saying,
[16] Go forth of the ark, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your
sons' wives with you.
[17] Bring forth with you every living thing that is with you, of all
flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in
the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
[18] And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons'
wives with him:
[19] Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever
creeps upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
[20] And Noah builded an altar unto Yehovah; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean
fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
[21] And Yehovah smelled a sweet savor; and Yehovah
said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake;
for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again
smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
[22] While
the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and
winter, and day and night shall not cease.
[8] And God spoke unto Noah, and to his sons with
him, saying,
[9] And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with
your seed after you;
[10] 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.
[11] 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.
Our bow we call a rain bow
[12] And God said, This is the token of the covenant which
I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for
perpetual generations:
[13] I do set my bow in the cloud, and it
shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
[14] And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over
the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
[15] 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.
[16] And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look
upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every
living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
[17] And God said unto Noah, This is
the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and
all flesh that is upon the earth.
Age of Noah
[28]
And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty
years.
[29]
And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years:
and he died -
950
Language
confounded
[1] And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
[2] And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east,
that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
[3] And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn
them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and
slime had they for morter.
[4] And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top
may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad
upon the face of the whole earth.
[5] And Yehovah came down to see the city and
the tower, which the children of men builded.
[6] And Yehovah said, Behold, the people
is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to
do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to
do.
[7] Go to, let us go down, and there
confound their language, that they may
not understand one another's speech.
[8] So Yehovah scattered them
abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
[9] Therefore is the name of it called Babel;
because Yehovah did there confound the language of
all the earth: and from thence did Yehovah scatter
them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
Other references to the flood and Noah
Matt.24
[37]
But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of
the Son of man be.
[38] For as in the days that were
before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in
marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, [39]
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so
shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Luke 17
[26]
And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days
of the Son of man.
[27] They did eat, they drank, they
married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day
that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
2 Peter
3
[5] For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the
word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water
and (then) in the water:
[6] Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with
water, perished:
[7] But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the
same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire
against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
