Noah

And he named him Noah, saying, “May this one comfort us in the labor and toil of our hands caused by the ground that the LORD has cursed.”

And after he had become the father of Noah, Lamech lived 595 years and had other sons and daughters.

After Noah was 500 years old, he became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Noah, however, found favor in the eyes of the LORD.

This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation; Noah walked with God.

And Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Then God said to Noah, “The end of all living creatures has come before Me, because through them the earth is full of violence. Now behold, I will destroy both them and the earth.

So Noah did everything precisely as God had commanded him.

Then the LORD said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and all your family, because I have found you righteous in this generation.

And Noah did all that the LORD had commanded him.

Now Noah was 600 years old when the floodwaters came upon the earth.

And Noah and his wife, with his sons and their wives, entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood.

came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.

In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month, all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.

On that very day Noah entered the ark, along with his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and his wife, and the three wives of his sons—

They came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two of every creature with the breath of life.

And every living thing on the face of the earth was destroyed—man and livestock, crawling creatures and birds of the air; they were blotted out from the earth, and only Noah and those with him in the ark remained.

But God remembered Noah and all the animals and livestock that were with him in the ark. And God sent a wind over the earth, and the waters began to subside.

After forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark

And behold, the dove returned to him in the evening with a freshly plucked olive leaf in her beak. So Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth.

In Noah’s six hundred and first year, on the first day of the first month, the waters had dried up from the earth. So Noah removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry.

Then God said to Noah,

So Noah came out, along with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives.

Then Noah built an altar to the LORD. And taking from every kind of clean animal and clean bird, he offered burnt offerings on the altar.

And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.
