The waters awage.

1 The waters awage. 4 The ark reteth on Ararat. 6 Noah endetb out a raven and a dove. 13 The earth is dried. 15 Noah, being commandeth, goeth forth from the ark, 20 So he buildeth an altar, and offereth acrifice, which God accepteth, and promieth to cure the earth no more.

God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pas over the earth, and the waters awaged;

The fountains alo of the deep and the windows of heaven were topped, and the rain from heaven was retrained;

And the waters returned from off the earth † continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.

¶ And the ark reted in the eventh month, on the eventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

And the waters † decreaed continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the firt day of the month, were the tops of the mountains een.

¶ And it came to pas at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:

And he ent forth a raven, which went forth † to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.

Alo he ent forth a dove from him, to ee if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;

But the dove found no ret for the ole of her foot, and he returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and † pulled her in unto him into the ark.

And he tayed yet other even days; and again he ent forth the dove out of the ark;

And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: o Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.

And he tayed yet other even days; and ent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.

¶ And it came to pas in the ix hundredth and firt year, in the firt month, the firt 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.

And in the econd month, on the even and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.

¶ And God pake unto Noah, aying,

Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy ons, and thy ons wives with thee.

Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all fleh, 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.

And Noah went forth, and his ons, and his wife, and his ons wives with him:

Every beat, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatoever creepeth upon the earth, after their † kinds, went forth out of the ark.

¶ And Noah builded an altar unto the ; and took of every clean beat, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

And the melled a † weet avour; and the  aid in his heart, I will not again cure the ground any more for man's ake; ‖ for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again mite any more every thing living, as I have done.

† While the earth remaineth, eedtime and harvet, and cold and heat, and ummer and winter, and day and night hall not ceae.

1 God bleeth Noah, granting him animal food, but forbidding the eating of blood, and murder. 8 God's covenant ignified by the rainbow. 18 The days of the earth is repeopled from Noah. 20 He planteth a vineyard, is drunken, and mocked by Canaan, whom he cureth, and bleeth his other ons. 28 His age and death.

God bleed Noah and his ons, and aid unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenih the earth.

And the fear of you and the dread of you hall be upon every beat of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fihes of the ea; into your hand are they delivered.

Every moving thing that liveth hall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

But fleh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, hall ye not eat.

And urely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beat 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.

Whoo heddeth man's blood, by man
