NOAH AND THE GREAT FLOOD


When Jehovah saw that men were growing more wicked in the world and that their thoughts
were always evil, he was greatly grieved and regretted that he had made man. Therefore,
Jehovah said, "I will completely destroy all living beings from off the earth, for I regret that I
have made them."
But Noah had won Jehovah's favor. So Jehovah said to Noah, "I have decided to put an end
to all living beings, for the earth is filled with their wicked acts. I am going to destroy them
from the earth. Make yourself an ark of cypress wood. Build rooms in the[8] ark, and cover it
within and without with pitch. This is how you shall build it: the ark shall be five hundred feet
long, eighty feet wide, and fifty feet high. Make a roof for it and place the door on the side.
Build it with lower, second, and third stories. For I am about to bring floods of water upon
the earth to destroy every living creature in which is the breath of life. Every creature that is
on the earth shall die."
Then Jehovah said to Noah, "Enter with all your household into the ark, for I see that of all
the people who are now alive you alone are upright. Of all the beasts that are fit for food and
sacrifice you shall take with you seven, the male and the female; but of the beasts that are
not fit for food and sacrifice two, the male and the female; and of the wild birds that are fit
for food and sacrifice seven, to keep each kind alive on all the earth. After seven days I will
send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights; and I will destroy every living thing that
I have made."
Then Noah did all that Jehovah commanded him. When the waters of the flood came upon
the earth, he, his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives, together with the beasts that were fit
for food and sacrifice and the beasts that were not fit, and the birds, and everything that
creeps upon the ground, entered the ark because of the waters of the flood.
The rain fell upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and Jehovah shut Noah in the ark.
And the waters rose higher and higher and raised up the ark, and it was lifted high above
the earth. All creatures living on the land died. Noah only was left and they who were with
him in the ark.

Then God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the animals that were with him in
the ark. And God caused a wind to blow over the earth, and the flood went down, the rain
from heaven ceased, and the waters withdrew more and more from the land.
After forty days Noah opened the window of the ark and sent out a raven; and it kept going
to and fro until the waters were dried up on the earth. He also sent out a dove to see if the
waters had gone from the surface of the earth. But the dove found no rest for her foot, and
so returned to him to the ark, for the waters covered the whole earth. Therefore, Noah
reached out his hand and took her and brought her back into the ark.
Then he waited seven days longer and again sent out the dove[9] from the ark. And the
dove came in to him at dusk; and in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive-leaf. So Noah
knew that the waters had gone from the earth. And he waited seven days more and again
sent out the dove, but it did not return to him.
So Noah took off the covering of the ark and looked and saw that the surface of the ground
was dry. Then he, with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives, went out of the ark.
And Noah built an altar to Jehovah and took one of every beast and bird that was fit for
sacrifice and offered burnt-offerings on the altar. And Jehovah said to himself, "I will never
again condemn the ground because of man, nor will I again destroy every living creature, as
I have done. While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and
winter, day and night, shall not cease."
And God said, "This is the sign of the solemn agreement that I make for all time between
me and you and every living creature that is with you: I have placed my rainbow in the cloud
and it shall be the sign of the solemn agreement between me and the people who live on
the earth. Whenever I bring a cloud over the earth and the rainbow is seen in the cloud, I
will remember the agreement which is between me and you and every living creature; and
the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy them."
