The First Book of Moses
Genesis
7
13 In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and
Japheth—the sons of Noah—and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with
them, entered into the ship— 14 they,
and every animal after its kind, all the livestock after their kind, every
creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after
its kind, every bird of every sort. 15
Pairs from all flesh with the breath of life in them went into the ship
to Noah. 16 Those who went in, went in
male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; then Yahweh shut him in.
17 The flood was forty days on the
earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ship, and it was lifted up above
the earth. 18 The waters rose, and
increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the
waters. 19 The waters rose very high on
the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered.
20 The waters rose fifteen cubits*
higher, and the mountains were covered. 21
All flesh died that moved on the earth, including birds, livestock,
animals, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man. 22 All on the dry land, in whose nostrils was
the breath of the spirit of life, died. 23
Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground,
including man, livestock, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were
destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in
the ship. 24 The waters flooded the
earth one hundred fifty days.

1 God remembered Noah, all the animals, and all
the livestock that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over
the earth. The waters subsided. 2 The
deep’s fountains and the sky’s windows were also stopped, and the rain from the
sky was restrained. 3 The waters
continually receded from the earth. After the end of one hundred fifty days the
waters receded. 4 The ship rested in the
seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat’s mountains. 5 The waters receded continually until the
tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the
mountains were visible.
6 At the end of forty days, Noah opened the
window of the ship which he had made, 7
and he sent out a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were
dried up from the earth. 8 He himself
sent out a dove to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the
ground, 9 but the dove found no place to
rest her foot, and she returned into the ship to him, for the waters were on
the surface of the whole earth. He put out his hand, and took her, and brought
her to him into the ship. 10 He waited
yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship. 11 The dove came back to him at evening and,
behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the
waters were abated from the earth. 12 He
waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to
him any more.
13 In the six hundred first year, in the first
month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth.
Noah removed the covering of the ship, and looked. He saw that the surface of
the ground was dry. 14 In the second
month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15 God spoke to Noah, saying, 16 “Go out of the
ship, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives with you. 17 Bring out with you every living thing that is
with you of all flesh, including birds, livestock, and every creeping thing
that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be
fruitful, and multiply on the earth.”
18 Noah went out, with his sons, his wife, and
his sons’ wives with him. 19 Every
animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth,
after their families, went out of the ship.
20 Noah built an altar to Yahweh, and took of
every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the
altar. 21 Yahweh smelled the pleasant
aroma. Yahweh 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. I
will never again strike every living thing, as I have done. 22 While the earth remains, seed time and
harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not
cease.”

1 God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to
them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth. 2 The fear of you and the dread of you will be
on every animal of the earth, and on every bird of the sky. Everything that moves
along the ground, and all the fish of the sea, are delivered into your hand.
3 Every moving thing that lives will be
food for you. As I gave you the green herb, I have given everything to you.
4 But flesh with its life, that is, its
blood, you shall not eat. 5 I will
surely require accounting for your life’s blood. At the hand of every animal I
will require it. At the hand of man, even at the hand of every man’s brother, I
will require the life of man. 6 Whoever sheds man’s blood, his blood will be
shed by man, for God made man in his own image. 7 Be fruitful and multiply. Increase abundantly
in the earth, and multiply in it.”
8 God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him,
saying, 9 “As for me, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your
offspring after you, 10 and with every
living creature that is with you: the birds, the livestock, and every animal of
the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship, even every animal of the
earth. 11 I will establish my covenant
with you: All flesh will not be cut off any more by the waters of the flood.
There will never again be a flood to destroy the earth.” 12 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 set my
rainbow in the cloud, and it will be a sign of a covenant between me and the
earth. 14 When I bring a cloud over the
earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud, 15 I will remember my covenant, which is between
me and you and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters will no more
become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16
The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember
the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh
that is on the earth.” 17 God said to
Noah, “This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me
and all flesh that is on the earth.”
18 The sons of Noah who went out from the ship
were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan. 19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from
these the whole earth was populated.
20 Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a
vineyard. 21 He drank of the wine and
got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent. 22
Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his
two brothers outside. 23 Shem and
Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards,
and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were backwards, and they
didn’t see their father’s nakedness. 24
Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to
him. 25 He said,
“Canaan
is cursed.
He
will be a servant of servants to his brothers.”
26 He said,
“Blessed
be Yahweh, the God of Shem.
Let
Canaan be his servant.
27 May God enlarge Japheth.
Let
him dwell in the tents of Shem.
Let
Canaan be his servant.”
28 Noah lived three hundred fifty years after
the flood. 29 All the days of Noah were
nine hundred fifty years, and then he died.

1 Now this is the history of the generations of
the sons of Noah and of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after
the flood.
2 The sons of Japheth were: Gomer, Magog,
Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. 3
The sons of Gomer were: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. 4 The sons of Javan were: Elishah, Tarshish,
Kittim, and Dodanim. 5 Of these were the
islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language,
after their families, in their nations.
6 The sons of Ham were: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and
Canaan. 7 The sons of Cush were: Seba,
Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah were: Sheba and Dedan.
8 Cush became the father of Nimrod. He
began to be a mighty one in the earth. 9
He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said, “like Nimrod,
a mighty hunter before Yahweh”. 10 The
beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of
Shinar. 11 Out of that land he went into
Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah, 12 and Resen between Nineveh and the great city
Calah. 13 Mizraim became the father of
Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, 14
Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and
Caphtorim.
15 Canaan became the father of Sidon (his
firstborn), Heth, 16 the Jebusites, the
Amorites, the Girgashites, 17 the
Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, 18
the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the families
of the Canaanites were spread abroad. 19
The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon—as you go toward Gerar—to
Gaza—as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim—to Lasha. 20 These are the sons of Ham, after their
families, according to their languages, in their lands and their nations.
21 Children were also born to Shem (the elder
brother of Japheth), the father of all the children of Eber. 22 The sons of Shem were: Elam, Asshur,
Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram. 23 The sons
of Aram were: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.
