GENESIS VIII.
9

4 For yet seven days, and I will give rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights: and I will wipe out every living thing which I made from the face of the earth.

5 And Noah will do according to all which Jehovah commanded him.

6 And Noah the son of six hundred years, and the flood of waters was upon the earth.

7 And Noah shall come in, and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him to the ark from the face of the water of the flood.

8 From clean beasts, and from cattle which are not clean, and from birds and all which creeps upon the earth.

9 Two and two went in to Noah to the ark, male and female, according to which God commanded Noah.

10 And it shall be seven days; and the waters of the flood shall be upon the earth.

11 In the year of six hundred years of Noah's life, in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, in the same day all the fountains of the great deep were divided and the sluices of the heavens were opened.

12 And the rain shall be upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

13 In that very day went in Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth; Noah's sons, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them to the ark.

14 They, and every living thing after its kind, and all cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing creeping upon the earth, after its kind, and every bird after his kind, and every small bird of every wing.

15 And they shall go in to Noah to the ark, two from all flesh in which is the breath of life.

16 And they going in, went in male and female from all flesh according to which God commanded him: and Jehovah shut him within.

17 And the flood shall be forty days upon the earth, and the waters shall multiply, and shall take up the ark, and it shall be lifted up from above the earth.

18 And the waters shall prevail and shall multiply exceedingly upon the earth: and the ark shall go upon the face of the waters.

19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly exceedingly upon the earth: and all the high mountains which are underneath all the heavens shall be covered.

20 Fifteen cubits from upward, the waters prevailed: and will cover the mountains.

21 And all flesh shall die that creeping upon the earth, with birds and with cattle and with beast and with every creeping thing that creeping upon the earth, and every man.

22 All which the breath of the spirit of life in the nostrils of all which is in the dry land died.

23 And every living thing shall be wiped off which upon the face of the earth, from man even to cattle, even to the creeping thing, and even to the birds of the heavens; and they shall be wiped out from the earth, and Noah only shall remain and they which with him in the ark.

24 And the waters shall prevail upon the earth fifty and one hundred days.

CHAPTER VIII.

AND God will remember Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that with him in the ark: and God will make a wind to pass over the earth and the waters will settle down.

2 And the fountains of the deep, and the sluices of the heavens shall be shut up, and the rains from the heavens shall be withheld.

3 And the waters shall turn back from over the earth, going and turning back, and the waters shall fail from the end of fifty and one hundred days.

4 And the ark shall rest in the seventh month in the seventeenth day of the month upon the mountains of Ararat

5 And the waters were going and diminishing until the tenth month: in the tenth, in the one of the month, the heads of the mountains were seen.

6 And it shall be from the end of forty days Noah shall open the window of the ark which he made.

7 And he shall send forth the raven,
