Noah and the Flood

Scripture of the Old Testament. Being.

And the Lord [God] saw that the corruption of men on earth was great, and that all the thoughts and thoughts of their hearts were evil at all times;

and the Lord repented that he had made man on earth, and grieved in his heart.

And the Lord said, I will destroy from the face of the earth the men whom I have created, from man to cattle, and creeping things and birds of the air, for I have repented that I made them.

Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord [God].

This is the life of Noah: Noah was a righteous and blameless man in his kind; Noah walked with God.

Noah gave birth to three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth.

But the earth was corrupted before the face of God, and the earth was filled with atrocities.

And [the Lord] God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it is corrupted, for all flesh has perverted its way on earth.

And [the Lord] God said to Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me, for the earth is filled with violence by them; and behold, I will destroy them from the earth.

Make yourself an ark of gopher wood; make compartments in the ark, and pitch it inside and out with pitch.

And make it this way: the length of the ark is three hundred cubits; its breadth is fifty cubits, and its height is thirty cubits.

And make a hole in the ark, and bring it at the top of the cubit, and make the door to the ark on its side; make in it the lower, second and third [dwellings].

And behold, I will bring a flood of water on the earth to destroy all flesh, in which is the spirit of life, under heaven; everything on earth will lose its life.

But with you I will establish My covenant, and you will enter the ark, you, and your sons, and your wife, and your sons' wives with you.

Bring also into the ark [of every cattle, and of all creeping things, and] of all animals, and of every flesh, in pairs, so that they may remain alive with you; male and female, let them be.

Of [all] birds after their kind, and of [all] cattle after their kind, and of all that creep on the earth after their kind, out of all they will enter into you in pairs, so that they remain alive [with you, male and female] ...

But take for yourself all the food that they eat, and gather it to you; and it will be food for you and for them.

And Noah did everything: as [the Lord] God commanded him, so he did.
And the Lord [God] said to Noah: Enter you and all your family into the ark, for I have seen you righteous before Me in this generation;

And take every clean cattle by seven, male and female, and from unclean cattle by two, male and female;

also of the birds of the air [clean] by seven, male and female, [and of all unclean birds, by two, male and female,] to preserve a tribe for the whole earth,

for after seven days I will pour rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; and I will destroy everything that I have created from the face of the earth.

Noah did everything that the Lord [God] commanded him.
