Genesis: 6-9
Ge:6:1: And it came to pass, when men began to
multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
Ge:6:2: That the sons of God saw the daughters
of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they
chose.
Ge:6:3: 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.
Ge:6:4: 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.
Ge:6:5: 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.
Ge:6:6: And it repented the LORD that he had made
man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
Ge:6:7: 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.
Ge:6:8: But Noah found grace in the eyes of the
LORD.
Ge:6:9: These are the generations of Noah: Noah
was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
Ge:6:10: And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham,
and Japheth.
Ge:6:11: The earth also was corrupt before God,
and the earth was filled with violence.
Ge:6:12: And God looked upon the earth, and, behold,
it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
Ge:6:13: 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.
Ge:6:14: Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms
shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with
pitch.
Ge:6:15: 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.
Ge:6:16: 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.
Ge:6:17: 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.
Ge:6:18: 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.
Ge:6:19: 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.
Ge:6:20: 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.
Ge:6:21: 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.
Ge:6:22: Thus did Noah; according to all that
God commanded him, so did he.
AUDIO
Ge: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.
Ge:7:2: 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.
Ge:7:3: Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the
male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
Ge:7:4: 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.
Ge:7:5: And Noah did according unto all that the
LORD commanded him.
Ge:7:6: And Noah was six hundred years old when
the flood of waters was upon the earth.
Ge:7:7: 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.
Ge:7:8: Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are
not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
Ge:7:9: There went in two and two unto Noah into
the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
Ge:7:10: And it came to pass after seven days,
that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
Ge:7:11: 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.
Ge:7:12: And the rain was upon the earth forty
days and forty nights.
Ge:7:13: 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;
Ge:7:14: 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 sort.
Ge:7:15: And they went in unto Noah into the ark,
two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
Ge:7:16: And they that went in, went in male and
female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
Ge:7:17: 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.
Ge:7:18: And the waters prevailed, and were increased
greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
Ge:7:19: And the waters prevailed exceedingly
upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven,
were covered.
Ge:7:20: Fifteen cubits upward did the waters
prevail; and the mountains were covered.
Ge:7:21: 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:
Ge:7:22: All in whose nostrils was the breath
of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
Ge:7:23: 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.
Ge:7:24: And the waters prevailed upon the earth
an hundred and fifty days.
AUDIO
Ge: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;
Ge:8:2: The fountains also of the deep and the
windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
Ge:8:3: And the waters returned from off the earth
continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters
were abated.
Ge:8:4: And the ark rested in the seventh month,
on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
Ge:8:5: 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.
Ge:8:6: And it came to pass at the end of forty
days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
Ge:8:7: And he sent forth a raven, which went
forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
Ge:8:8: Also he sent forth a dove from him, to
see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
Ge:8:9: 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.
Ge:8:10: And he stayed yet other seven days; and
again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
Ge:8:11: 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.
Ge:8:12: And he stayed yet other seven days; and
sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
Ge:8:13: 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.
Ge:8:14: And in the second month, on the seven
and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
Ge:8:15: And God spake unto Noah, saying,
Ge:8:16: Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife,
and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
Ge:8:17: 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.
Ge:8:18: And Noah went forth, and his sons, and
his wife, and his sons' wives with him:
Ge:8:19: Every beast, every creeping thing, and
every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds,
went forth out of the ark.
Ge:8:20: 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.
Ge:8:21: 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.
Ge:8:22: While the earth remaineth, seedtime and
harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall
not cease.
AUDIO
Ge:9:1: And God blessed Noah and his sons, and
said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
Ge:9:2: 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.
Ge:9:3: Every moving thing that liveth shall be
meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
Ge:9:4: But flesh with the life thereof, which
is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
Ge:9:5: 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.
Ge:9:6: Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall
his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
Ge:9:7: And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply;
bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
Ge:9:8: And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons
with him, saying,
Ge:9:9: And I, behold, I establish my covenant
with you, and with your seed after you;
Ge:9:10: 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.
Ge:9:11: 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.
Ge:9:12: 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:
Ge:9:13: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it
shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
Ge:9:14: And it shall come to pass, when I bring
a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
Ge:9:15: 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.
Ge:9:16: 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.
Ge:9:17: 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.
Ge:9:18: And the sons of Noah, that went forth
of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
Ge:9:19: These are the three sons of Noah: and
of them was the whole earth overspread.
Ge:9:20: And Noah began to be an husbandman, and
he planted a vineyard:
Ge:9:21: And he drank of the wine, and was drunken;
and he was uncovered within his tent.
Ge:9:22: And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the
nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
Ge:9:23: 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.
Ge:9:24: And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew
what his younger son had done unto him.
Ge:9:25: And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant
of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
Ge:9:26: And he said, Blessed be the LORD God
of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
Ge:9:27: God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall
dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
Ge:9:28: And Noah lived after the flood three
hundred and fifty years.
Ge:9:29: And all the days of Noah were nine hundred
and fifty years: and he died.
