¹ And God remembered Noah, and all the animals, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.

² And the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were closed, and the pour of rain from heaven was stopped.

³ And the waters retired from the earth, continually retiring; and in the course of a hundred and fifty days the waters abated.

⁴ And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.

⁵ And the waters abated continually until the tenth month: in the tenth [month], on the first of the month, the tops of the mountains were 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 out the raven, which went forth going to and fro, until the waters were dried from the earth.

⁸ And he sent out the dove from him, to see if the waters had become low on the ground.

⁹ But the dove found no resting-place for the sole of her foot, and returned to him into the ark; for the waters were on the whole earth; and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ark.

¹⁰ And he waited yet other seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.

¹¹ And the dove came to him at eventide; and behold, in her beak was an olive-leaf plucked off; and Noah knew that the waters had become low on the earth.

¹² And he waited yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; but she returned no more to him.

¹³ And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first [month], on the first of the month, that the waters were dried up from the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the surface of the ground was dried.

¹⁴ And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.

¹⁵ And God spoke to Noah, saying,

¹⁶ Go out of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.

¹⁷ Bring forth with thee every animal which is with thee, of all flesh, fowl as well as cattle, and all the creeping things which creep on the earth, that they may swarm on the earth, and may be fruitful and multiply on the earth.

¹⁸ And Noah went out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him.

¹⁹ All the animals, all the creeping things, and all the fowl -- everything that moves on the earth, after their kinds, went out of the ark.

²⁰ And Noah built an altar to Jehovah; and took of every clean animal, and of all clean fowl, and offered up burnt-offerings on the altar.

²¹ And Jehovah smelled the sweet odour. And Jehovah said in his heart, I will no more henceforth curse the ground on account of Man, for the thought of Man's heart is evil from his youth; and I will no more smite every living thing, as I have done.

²² Henceforth, all the days of the earth, seed [time] and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease.

¹ Yahweh said to Noah, "Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation.

² You shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his female.

³ Also of the birds of the sky, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive on the surface of all the earth.

⁴ In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. Every living thing that I have made, I will destroy from the surface of the ground."

⁵ Noah did everything that Yahweh commanded him.

⁶ Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came on the earth.

⁷ Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives, because of the waters of the flood.

⁸ Clean animals, animals that are not Clean, birds, and everything that creeps on the ground

⁹ went by pairs to Noah into the ship, male and female, as God commanded Noah.

¹⁰ It happened after the seven days, that the waters of the flood came on the earth.

¹¹ In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep were burst open, and the sky's windows were opened.

¹² The rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.

¹³ In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship;

¹⁴ they, and every animal after its kind, all the livestock after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.

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.

²⁴ The waters prevailed on the earth one hundred fifty days.
