11 TIn the sixth hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains c of the great deep broken up, and the 4 windows of heaven were opened.

12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, d into the ark:

14 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 5 sort.

15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. 16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all fleshi, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in. e

14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.

15 T 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 h 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 5 kinds, went forth out of the ark.

20 And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of i every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar.

21 And the LORD smelled a 6 sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; 7 for the m imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again n smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
