waters of the flood were upon the earth; and all flesh died that moved upon the earth.

The waters returned from off the earth. And the ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat. And Noah went forth, and his song, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him. Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark And Noah builded an altar unto the Lord: and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar.

And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. 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. Whose sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
