and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
01:007:019 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
01:007:020 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
01:007:021 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:
01:007:022 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
01:007:023 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.
01:007:024 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
01:008:001 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;
01:008:002 The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
01:008:003 And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
01:008:004 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
01:008:005 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.
01:008:006 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
01:008:007 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
01:008:008 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
01:008:009 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.
01:008:010 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
01:008:011 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.
01:008:012 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
01:008:013 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.
01:008:014 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
01:008:015 And God spake unto Noah, saying,
01:008:016 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
01:008:017 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.
01:008:018 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:
01:008:019 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
01:008:020 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.
01:008:021 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.
01:008:022 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
01:009:001 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
01:009:002 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
