the LORD regretted that he had made man on the earth, and he was deeply grieved.

Then the LORD said, “I will wipe mankind, whom I created, off the face of the earth, together with the animals, creatures that crawl, and birds of the sky ​— ​for I regret that I made them.”

And Noah fathered three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

God saw how corrupt the earth was, for every creature had corrupted its way on the earth.

“Make yourself an ark of gopher[fn] wood. Make rooms in the ark, and cover it with pitch inside and outside.

“This is how you are to make it: The ark will be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high.[fn]

“Understand that I am bringing a flood ​— ​floodwaters on the earth to destroy every creature under heaven with the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish.

“But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark with your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives.

And Noah did this. He did everything that God had commanded him.

“Seven days from now I will make it rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and every living thing I have made I will wipe off the face of the earth.”

two of each, male and female, came to Noah and entered the ark, just as God had commanded him.

Those that entered, male and female of every creature, entered just as God had commanded him. Then the LORD shut him in.

The flood continued for forty days on the earth; the water increased and lifted up the ark so that it rose above the earth.

He wiped out every living thing that was on the face of the earth, from mankind to livestock, to creatures that crawl, to the birds of the sky, and they were wiped off the earth. Only Noah was left, and those that were with him in the ark.

After forty days Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made,

and he sent out a raven. It went back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth.

Then he sent out a dove to see whether the water on the earth’s surface had gone down,

but the dove found no resting place for its foot. It returned to him in the ark because water covered the surface of the whole earth. He reached out and brought it into the ark to himself.

So Noah waited seven more days and sent out the dove from the ark again.

After he had waited another seven days, he sent out the dove, but it did not return to him again.

In the six hundred first year,[fn] in the first month, on the first day of the month, the water that had covered the earth was dried up. Then Noah removed the ark’s cover and saw that the surface of the ground was drying.

When the LORD smelled the pleasing aroma, he said to himself, “I will never again curse the ground because of human beings, even though the inclination of the human heart is evil from youth onward. And I will never again strike down every living thing as I have done.

“Every creature that lives and moves will be food for you; as I gave the green plants, I have given you everything.

“And I will require a penalty for your lifeblood;[fn] I will require it from any animal and from any human; if someone murders a fellow human, I will require that person’s life.

“Whoever sheds human blood,

for God made humans in his image.

“Understand that I am establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after you,

“I establish my covenant with you that never again will every creature be wiped out by floodwaters; there will never again be a flood to destroy the earth.”

“I have placed my bow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

“I will remember my covenant between me and you and all the living creatures: water will never again become a flood to destroy every creature.

Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father naked and told his two brothers outside.

Then Shem and Japheth took a cloak and placed it over both their shoulders, and walking backward, they covered their father’s nakedness. Their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father naked.
