8 But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the
ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded. 2 Now the springs of the deep and
the floodgates of the heavens had been closed, and the rain had stopped falling from the sky. 3 The
water receded steadily from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the water had gone
down, 4 and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of
Ararat. 5 The waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth
month the tops of the mountains became visible.
6 After forty days Noah opened a window he had made in the ark 7 and sent out a raven, and it kept
flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth. 8 Then he sent out a dove to see if
the water had receded from the surface of the ground. 9 But the dove could find nowhere to perch
because there was water over all the surface of the earth; so it returned to Noah in the ark. He
reached out his hand and took the dove and brought it back to himself in the ark. 10 He waited
seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark. 11 When the dove returned to him in the
evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf! Then Noah knew that the water had
receded from the earth. 12 He waited seven more days and sent the dove out again, but this time it
did not return to him.
13 By the first day of the first month of Noah’s six hundred and first year, the water had dried up
from the earth. Noah then removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the
ground was dry. 14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was completely dry.
15 Then God said to Noah, 16 “Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their
wives. 17 Bring out every kind of living creature that is with you—the birds, the animals, and all the
creatures that move along the ground—so they can multiply on the earth and be fruitful and
increase in number on it.”
18 So Noah came out, together with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives. 19 All the animals and
all the creatures that move along the ground and all the birds—everything that moves on land—
came out of the ark, one kind after another.
20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he
sacrificed burnt offerings on it. 21 The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never
again will I curse the ground because of humans, even though[a] every inclination of the human
heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done.
22 “As long as the earth endures,
seedtime and harvest,
cold and heat,
summer and winter,
day and night
will never cease.”
GENESIS 9
God’s Covenant With Noah
9 Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill
the earth. 2 The fear and dread of you will fall on all the beasts of the earth, and on all the birds in
the sky, on every creature that moves along the ground, and on all the fish in the sea; they are given
into your hands. 3 Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the
green plants, I now give you everything.
4 “But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it. 5 And for your lifeblood I will surely
demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each human being,
too, I will demand an accounting for the life of another human being.
6 “Whoever sheds human blood,
by humans shall their blood be shed;
for in the image of God
has God made mankind.
7 As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.”
8 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: 9 “I now establish my covenant with you and with
your descendants after you 10 and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the
livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature
on earth. 11 I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a
flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”
12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living
creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds,
and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over
the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant between me and
you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all
life. 16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting
covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”
17 So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life
on the earth.”
The Sons of Noah
18 The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham and Japheth. (Ham was the father of
Canaan.) 19 These were the three sons of Noah, and from them came the people who were
scattered over the whole earth.
20 Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded[a] to plant a vineyard. 21 When he drank some of its wine, he
became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent. 22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father naked
and told his two brothers outside. 23 But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it across their
shoulders; then they walked in backward and covered their father’s naked body. Their faces were
turned the other way so that they would not see their father naked.
24 When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him, 25 he
said,
“Cursed be Canaan!
The lowest of slaves
will he be to his brothers.”
26 He also said,
“Praise be to the Lord, the God of Shem!
May Canaan be the slave of Shem.
27 May God extend Japheth’s[b] territory;
may Japheth live in the tents of Shem,
and may Canaan be the slave of Japheth.”
28 After the flood Noah lived 350 years. 29 Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.
