    The Deluge. 12 And tlio rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. 13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shorn, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark : 14 They, and every beast after his kind, aud all the cattle after then1 kind, and every creeping tiring that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every P sort. 15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. 16 Aud they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had com- manded him : and the Loed shut him in.4 17 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. 18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the lace of the waters. 19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth ;° and all the high hills, that tvere under the whole heaven, were covered. 20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains d were covered. 21 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 -J 22 All in whose nostrils was y the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. 23 And every living substance was de- stroyed 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 Noah4 only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. 24 And® the waters prevailed upon the ; earth an hundred and fifty days. CHAPTER Till. -AND God’1 remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the0 cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind? to pass over the earth; and the waters as swaged; 2 The fountains® also of the deep and Ins windows’ of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained ; 3 And the waters returned from olf the earth K continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated. 4 And the ark rested in the seven month, on the seventeenth day of t month, upon the mountains of Ararat.0 5 And the waters 4 decreased contii: ally until the tenth month: in the ten month, on the first day of the month, we tnc tops ol the mountains seen. 6 And it came to pass, at the end lorty days, that Noah opened0 the wi do'v of the ark which he had made: ' All, ,le sent forth a raven, wlii went forth p to and fro, until the wate WQreiCreCi UP from off the earth. ° Also he sent forth a dove from hi & fcAa. „Sd7ere ““ed fr0'“ ' /°7G fo',mc] no rest for t him intA u ^00,’ ^fld she returned uu tlm WrWn !U'k’A(T the waters tcere hw111^ t l1° ’hole earth: then he p foith Ins hand, and took her, and 0 pull her in unto him into the ark li. 0.2348. | a chap. 6. 18. j3 wing.

CHAPTER IX. A.ND God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them,* Be fruitful, ancl multiply, and replenish the earth. 2 And the fear of you,“ and the dread of you, shah 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, ichich is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. 5 And surely your blood of your fives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it,4 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:0 for in the image of God made he man. 7 And you, be ye fruitful, aud multi- ply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, aud multiply therein. 8 And God spake unto Noah, and to ins sons with bun, saying, 9 And I, behold, I establish/ my cove- nant with you, and with your seed after you:
