These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation. Noah walked with God. And Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight, and the earth was filled with violence. And God saw the earth, and look and see, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. And God said to Noah, “I have determined to make an end of all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Look and see, I will destroy them with the earth. Make yourself an ark of gopher wood… Everything that is on the earth shall die. But I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall come into the ark, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you…" Noah did this; he did all that God commanded him….. Then the Lord said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and all your household, for I have seen that you are righteous before me in this generation…." And Noah did all that the Lord had commanded him… In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were opened… On the very same day Noah and his sons, Shem and Ham and Japheth, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them entered the ark,.. And all flesh died that moved on the earth, birds, livestock, beasts, all swarming creatures that swarm on the earth, and all mankind… Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ark. And the waters prevailed on the earth 150 days. Genesis 6: 9 – 7: 22 | |||||||||||
