Complete text: Genesis 6:1 ¶And
it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and
daughters were born unto them,
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters
of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they
chose.
3 ¶And the LORD said, My spirit shall
not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall
be an hundred and twenty years.
4 ¶There were giants in the earth
in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the
daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty
men which were of old, men of renown.
5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man
was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his
heart was only evil continually.
6 ¶And it repented the LORD that he
had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man
whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and
the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that
I have made them.
8 ¶But Noah found grace in the eyes
of the LORD.
9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah
was a just man and perfect
in his generations, and Noah walked
with God.
The
reason for Noah's flood.
There were only eight people
left on earth who were perfect in their generations
Only eight people who were not
the end result of flesh women lying with angels who left their first estate.
10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham,
and Japheth.
11 ¶The earth also was corrupt before
God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and,
behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 ¶And God said unto Noah, The end
of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through
them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms
shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with
pitch.
15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length
of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits,
and the height of it thirty cubits.
16 A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt
thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side
thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the
earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under
heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
18 But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt
come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives
with thee.
19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort
shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall
be male and female.
20 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind,
of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort
shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
21 And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou
shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
22 ¶Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him,
so did he.
Genesis 7:1 ¶And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all
thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this
generation.
2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the
male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male
and his female.
3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female;
to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth
forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made
will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
5 ¶And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded
him.
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters
was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons'
wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls,
and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male
and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the
flood were upon the earth.
11 ¶In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second
month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains
of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 ¶In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham,
and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of
his sons with them, into the ark;
14 They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after
their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after
his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every so
15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all
flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh,
as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
17 ¶And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the
waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.
18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon
the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all
the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains
were covered.
21 ¶And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of
fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth
upon the earth, and every man:
22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that
was in the dry land, died.
23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the
face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and
the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah
only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty
days.
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.
There
were more than one, you know!
But,
Only one was world wide and it wasn't Noah's flood!
