Genesis 8, Genesis 9



Genesis 8

The Flood Recedes

1 God remembered Noah and every living thing and all the livestock that were

with him in the ark.

So God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the water receded.

2 Also the fountains of the deep and the floodgates of heaven were closed,

and the rain from the heavens was restrained.

3 The water receded steadily from the earth,

and after the end of one hundred and fifty days the waters decreased.

4 The ark rested in the seventh month,

on the seventeenth day of the month,

on the mountains of Ararat.

5 The water continually decreased until the tenth month.

In the tenth month, on the first day of the month,

the tops of the mountains became visible.

6 Then at the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the

ark which he had made,

7 and he sent forth a raven, which went to and fro until the waters

were dried up on the earth.

8 Then he sent out a dove to see if the waters had subsided

from the face of the ground.

9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, so she

returned to him into the ark,

for the waters were on the surface of all the earth.

Then he put forth his hand, and took her,

and brought her into the ark to himself.

10 He waited yet another seven days, and again

he sent out the dove from the ark.

11 The dove came to him in the evening, and in her mouth there was a freshly

plucked olive leaf.

So Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth.

12 He waited another seven days and sent out the dove again,

but it did not return to him again.

13 So in the six hundred and first year, in the first month,

the first day of the month,

the waters were dried up from the earth;

and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked,

and saw 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 Then God spoke to Noah, saying,

16 "Go out of the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons'

wives with you.

17 Bring out with you every living thing of all flesh that is with you,

birds and animals,

and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth,

so that they may breed abundantly on the earth and be fruitful

and multiply on the earth."

18 So Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives went out.

19 Every beast, every creeping thing, every bird, and everything

that moves on the earth, according to their families, went out of the ark.

20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and took of every clean animal

and of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

21 The Lord smelled a soothing aroma; and the Lord said in His heart,

"I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the inclination

of man's

heart is evil from his youth,

nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done.

22 While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat,

summer and winter,and day and night will not cease."



Genesis 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 spake unto Noah, saying,

[16] Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons'

wives with thee.

[17] Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, 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

creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.

[20] And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast,

and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

[21] And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD 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 remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and

summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.



Genesis 9

The Noahic Covenant

1 Then God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them,

"Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.

2 Every beast of the earth and every bird of the sky and all

that moves on the earth and all the fish of the sea will fear you

and be terrified of you. They are given into your hand.

3 Every moving thing that lives will be food for you.

I give you everything, just as I gave you the green plant.

4 "Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.

5 But for your own lifeblood I will surely require a reckoning;

from every animal will I require it;

of man, too, will I require a reckoning for human life,

of every man for that of his fellow man.

6 Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed;

for God made man in His own image.

7 And as for you, be fruitful and multiply; increase

abundantly in the earth and multiply in it."

8 Again God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,

9 "As for Me, I establish My covenant with you, and with your

descendants after you;

10 and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the livestock,

and every beast of the earth with you; of all that comes

out of the ark, every beast of the earth.

11 I establish My covenant with you. Never again shall all

flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood.

Never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth."



12 Then God said, "This is the sign of the covenant which

I am making between Me

and you and every living creature that is with you,

for all future generations.

13 I have set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of a covenant

between Me and the earth.

14 When I bring a cloud over the earth, the rainbow will be seen in the cloud;

15 then I will remember My covenant,

which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh,

and the waters will never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16 The rainbow will appear in the cloud, and I will see it

and remember the everlasting covenant between God

and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth."

17 So God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant that

I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth."

The Sons of Noah

18 The sons of Noah who went forth from the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Ham was the father of Canaan.

19 These were the three sons of Noah,

and from them the whole earth was populated.

20 Noah began to be a man of the soil, and he planted a vineyard.

21 Then he drank some of the wine and became drunk,

and lay uncovered (naked) in his tent.

22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father,

and told his two brothers outside.

23 So Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders,

and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father.

Their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father's nakedness.

24 When Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his younger son had done to him,

25 he said,

"Canaan be cursed!

He will be a servant of servants

to his brothers."

26 He also said,

"Blessed be the Lord God of Shem,

and let Canaan be his servant.

27 May God enlarge Japheth,

and may he dwell in the tents of Shem,

and may Canaan be his servant."

28 Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.

29 All the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, and then he died.



Genesis 9

[1] And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and

multiply, and replenish the earth.

[2] And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of

the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the

earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they

delivered.

[3] Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green

herb have I given you all things.

[4] But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye

not eat.

[5] And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every

beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's

brother will I require the life of man.

[6] Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the

image of God made he man.

[7] And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the

earth, and multiply therein.

[8] And God spake 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.

[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.

[18] And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham,

and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.

[19] These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth

overspread.

[20] And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:

[21] And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within

his tent.

[22] And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and

told his two brethren without.

[23] And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their

shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and

their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.

[24] And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done

unto him.

[25] And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto

his brethren.

[26] And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his

servant.

[27] God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and

Canaan shall be his servant.

[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.
