¹ και ηυλογησεν ο θεος τον νωε και τους υιους αυτου και ειπεν αυτοις αυξανεσθε και πληθυνεσθε και πληρωσατε την γην και κατακυριευσατε αυτης

² και ο τρομος υμων και ο φοβος εσται επι πασιν τοις θηριοις της γης και επι παντα τα ορνεα του ουρανου και επι παντα τα κινουμενα επι της γης και επι παντας τους ιχθυας της θαλασσης υπο χειρας υμιν δεδωκα

³ και παν ερπετον ο εστιν ζων υμιν εσται εις βρωσιν ως λαχανα χορτου δεδωκα υμιν τα παντα

⁴ πλην κρεας εν αιματι ψυχης ου φαγεσθε

⁵ και γαρ το υμετερον αιμα των ψυχων υμων εκζητησω εκ χειρος παντων των θηριων εκζητησω αυτο και εκ χειρος ανθρωπου αδελφου εκζητησω την ψυχην του ανθρωπου

⁶ ο εκχεων αιμα ανθρωπου αντι του αιματος αυτου εκχυθησεται οτι εν εικονι θεου εποιησα τον ανθρωπον

⁷ υμεις δε αυξανεσθε και πληθυνεσθε και πληρωσατε την γην και πληθυνεσθε επ' αυτης

⁸ και ειπεν ο θεος τω νωε και τοις υιοις αυτου μετ' αυτου λεγων

⁹ εγω ιδου ανιστημι την διαθηκην μου υμιν και τω σπερματι υμων μεθ' υμας

¹⁰ και παση ψυχη τη ζωση μεθ' υμων απο ορνεων και απο κτηνων και πασι τοις θηριοις της γης οσα μεθ' υμων απο παντων των εξελθοντων εκ της κιβωτου

¹¹ και στησω την διαθηκην μου προς υμας και ουκ αποθανειται πασα σαρξ ετι απο του υδατος του κατακλυσμου και ουκ εσται ετι κατακλυσμος υδατος του καταφθειραι πασαν την γην

¹² και ειπεν κυριος ο θεος προς νωε τουτο το σημειον της διαθηκης ο εγω διδωμι ανα μεσον εμου και υμων και ανα μεσον πασης ψυχης ζωσης η εστιν μεθ' υμων εις γενεας αιωνιους

¹³ το τοξον μου τιθημι εν τη νεφελη και εσται εις σημειον διαθηκης ανα μεσον εμου και της γης

¹⁴ και εσται εν τω συννεφειν με νεφελας επι την γην οφθησεται το τοξον μου εν τη νεφελη

¹⁵ και μνησθησομαι της διαθηκης μου η εστιν ανα μεσον εμου και υμων και ανα μεσον πασης ψυχης ζωσης εν παση σαρκι και ουκ εσται ετι το υδωρ εις κατακλυσμον ωστε εξαλειψαι πασαν σαρκα

¹⁶ και εσται το τοξον μου εν τη νεφελη και οψομαι του μνησθηναι διαθηκην αιωνιον ανα μεσον εμου και ανα μεσον πασης ψυχης ζωσης εν παση σαρκι η εστιν επι της γης

¹⁷ και ειπεν ο θεος τω νωε τουτο το σημειον της διαθηκης ης διεθεμην ανα μεσον εμου και ανα μεσον πασης σαρκος η εστιν επι της γης

¹⁸ ησαν δε οι υιοι νωε οι εξελθοντες εκ της κιβωτου σημ χαμ ιαφεθ χαμ ην πατηρ χανααν

¹⁹ τρεις ουτοι εισιν οι υιοι νωε απο τουτων διεσπαρησαν επι πασαν την γην

²⁰ και ηρξατο νωε ανθρωπος γεωργος γης και εφυτευσεν αμπελωνα

²¹ και επιεν εκ του οινου και εμεθυσθη και εγυμνωθη εν τω οικω αυτου

²² και ειδεν χαμ ο πατηρ χανααν την γυμνωσιν του πατρος αυτου και εξελθων ανηγγειλεν τοις δυσιν αδελφοις αυτου εξω

²³ και λαβοντες σημ και ιαφεθ το ιματιον επεθεντο επι τα δυο νωτα αυτων και επορευθησαν οπισθοφανως και συνεκαλυψαν την γυμνωσιν του πατρος αυτων και το προσωπον αυτων οπισθοφανες και την γυμνωσιν του πατρος αυτων ουκ ειδον

²⁴ εξενηψεν δε νωε απο του οινου και εγνω οσα εποιησεν αυτω ο υιος αυτου ο νεωτερος

²⁵ και ειπεν επικαταρατος χανααν παις οικετης εσται τοις αδελφοις αυτου

²⁶ και ειπεν ευλογητος κυριος ο θεος του σημ και εσται χανααν παις αυτου

²⁷ πλατυναι ο θεος τω ιαφεθ και κατοικησατω εν τοις οικοις του σημ και γενηθητω χανααν παις αυτων

²⁸ εζησεν δε νωε μετα τον κατακλυσμον τριακοσια πεντηκοντα ετη

²⁹ και εγενοντο πασαι αι ημεραι νωε εννακοσια πεντηκοντα ετη και απεθανεν

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

² The deep's fountains and the sky's windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.

³ The waters receded from the earth continually. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters decreased.

⁴ The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat's mountains.

⁵ The waters receded continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.

⁶ It happened at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,

⁷ and he sent forth a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.

⁸ He sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground,

⁹ but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him into the ship; for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.

¹⁰ He stayed yet another seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ship.

¹¹ The dove came back to him at evening, and, behold, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from the earth.

¹² He stayed yet another seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she didn't return to him any more.

¹³ It happened in the six hundred first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ship, and looked. He saw that the surface of the ground was dried.

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

¹⁵ God spoke to Noah, saying,

¹⁶ "Go out of the ship, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons' wives with you.

¹⁷ Bring forth with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, including birds, livestock, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth."

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

¹⁹ Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.

²⁰ Noah built an altar to Yahweh, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

²¹ Yahweh smelled the pleasant aroma. Yahweh said in his heart, "I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake, because the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I ever again strike everything living, as I have done.

²² While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."
