and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.
10
And he stayed yet other seven days; and
again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
11
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.
12
And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto
him any more.
13
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.
14
And in the second month, on the seven and
twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
15
And God spake unto Noah, saying,
16
Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons,
and thy sons’ wives with thee.
17
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.
18
And Noah went
forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him:
19
Every beast, every creeping thing,
and every fowl,
and
whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
20
And Noah builded an altar unto the L
ORD
; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean
fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21
And the L
ORD
smelled a sweet savour; and the
L
ORD
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.
22
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and
winter, and day and night shall not cease.
CHAPTER 9
And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish
the earth.
2
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 the fishes of the sea;
into your hand are they delivered.
3
Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as
the green herb have I given you all things.
4
But flesh with the life thereof,
which is
the blood
thereof, shall ye not eat.
5
And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every
beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man’s brother will I require the
life of man.
6
Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of
God made he man.
7
And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and
multiply therein.
8
And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9
And I, behold, I establish my
covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
10
And with every living creature that
is
with you,
of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark,
