Genesis · Chapter 6
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
That the sons of Elohim saw the daughters of men that they
were
fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also
is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of Elohim came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare
children
to them, the same
became mighty men which
were
of old, men of renown.
And Elohim saw that the wickedness of man
was great in the earth, and
that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart
was
only evil continually.
And it repented 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
But Noach found grace in the eyes of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
These
are the generations of Noach: Noach was a just man
and perfect in his generations,
and Noach walked with Elohim.
And Noach begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
The earth also was corrupt before Elohim, and the earth was filled with violence.
And Elohim looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
And Elohim said unto Noach, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
And this
is the fashion which thou shalt make it
of:
The length of the ark
shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof;
with
lower, second, and third
stories shalt thou make it.
And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein
is the breath of life, from under shamayim;
and every thing that
is in the earth shall die.
But with thee will I establish my b'rit; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives with thee.
And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every
sort
shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep
them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every
sort shall come unto thee, to keep
them alive.
And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather
it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
Thus did Noach; according to all that Elohim commanded him, so did he.

Bereshit7
Genesis · Chapter 7
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) said unto Noach, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that
are not clean by two, the male and his female.
Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
And Noach did according unto all that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) commanded him.
And Noach
was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
And Noach went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
Of clean beasts, and of beasts that
are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
There went in two and two unto Noach into the ark, the male and the female, as Elohim had commanded Noach.
And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
In the six hundredth year of Noach’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of shamayim were opened.
And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
In the selfsame day entered Noach, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noach, and Noach’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
And they went in unto Noach into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein
is the breath of life.
And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as Elohim had commanded him: and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) shut him in.
And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.
And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that
were under the whole shamayim, were covered.
Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
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:
All in whose nostrils
was the breath of life, of all that
was in the dry
land, died.
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 shamayim; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noach only remained
alive, and they that
were with him in the ark.
And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.

Bereshit8
Genesis · Chapter 8
And Elohim remembered Noach, and every living thing, and all the cattle that
was with him in the ark: and Elohim made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;
The fountains also of the deep and the windows of shamayim were stopped, and the rain from shamayim was restrained;
And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
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.
And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noach opened the window of the ark which he had made:
And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
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.
And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth
was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noach knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
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 Noach removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.
And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
And Elohim spake unto Noach, saying,
Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee.
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.
And Noach went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him:
Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl,
and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
And Noach builded an altar unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) smelled a sweet savour; and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) 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.
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
