¹ 神記念挪亞和挪亞方舟裡的一切走獸牲畜。神叫風吹地，水勢漸落。

² 淵源和天上的窗戶都閉塞了，天上的大雨也止住了。

³ 水從地上漸退。過了一百五十天，水就漸消。

⁴ 七月十七日，方舟停在亞拉臘山上。

⁵ 水又漸消，到十月初一日，山頂都現出來了。

⁶ 過了四十天，挪亞開了方舟的窗戶，

⁷ 放出一隻烏鴉去；那烏鴉飛來飛去，直到地上的水都乾了。

⁸ 他又放出一隻鴿子去，要看看水從地上退了沒有。

⁹ 但遍地上都是水，鴿子找不著落腳之地，就回到方舟挪亞那裡，挪亞伸手把鴿子接進方舟來。

¹⁰ 他又等了七天，再把鴿子從方舟放出去。

¹¹ 到了晚上，鴿子回到他那裡，嘴裡叼著一個新擰下來的橄欖葉子，挪亞就知道地上的水退了。

¹² 他又等了七天，放出鴿子去，鴿子就不再回來了。

¹³ 到挪亞六百零一歲，正月初一日，地上的水都乾了。挪亞撤去方舟的蓋觀看，便見地面上乾了。

¹⁴ 到了二月二十七日，地就都乾了。

¹⁵ 神對挪亞說：

¹⁶ 你和你的妻子、兒子、兒婦都可以出方舟。

¹⁷ 在你那裡凡有血肉的活物，就是飛鳥、牲畜，和一切爬在地上的昆蟲，都要帶出來，叫他在地上多多滋生，大大興旺。

¹⁸ 於是挪亞和他的妻子、兒子、兒婦都出來了。

¹⁹ 一切走獸、昆蟲、飛鳥，和地上所有的動物，各從其類，也都出了方舟。

²⁰ 挪亞為耶和華築了一座壇，拿各類潔淨的牲畜、飛鳥獻在壇上為燔祭。

²¹ 耶和華聞那馨香之氣，就心裡說：我不再因人的緣故咒詛地（人從小時心裡懷著惡念），也不再按著我才行的滅各種的活物了。

²² 地還存留的時候，稼穡、寒暑、冬夏、晝夜就永不停息了。

¹⁵ They went to Noah into the ship, by pairs of all flesh with the breath of life in them.

¹⁶ Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; and Yahweh shut him in.

¹⁷ The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ship, and it was lifted up above the earth.

¹⁸ The waters prevailed, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters.

¹⁹ The waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered.

²⁰ The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered.

²¹ All flesh died that moved on the earth, including birds, livestock, animals, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man.

²² All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of all that was on the dry land, died.

²³ Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including man, livestock, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ship.
