Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation
Genesis 6:5-14 “5 And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of Man was great on the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart only evil continually.6 And Jehovah repented that he had made Man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.
7 And Jehovah said, I will destroy Man, whom I have created, from the earth—from man to cattle, to creeping things, and to fowl of the heavens; for I repent that I have made them.8 But Noah found favour in the eyes of Jehovah.
9 This is the history of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect amongst his generations: Noah walked with God.
10 And Noah begot three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.11 And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was full of violence.12 And God looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted its way on the earth.
13 And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me, for the earth is full of violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.14 Make thyself an ark of gopher wood: [with] cells shalt thou make the ark; and pitch it inside and outside with pitch.”
Genesis 7:1-5 “And Jehovah said to Noah, Go into the ark, thou and all thy house; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.2 Of all clean beasts thou shalt take to thee by sevens, a male and its female; but of the beasts that are not clean two, a male and its female.
3 Also of the fowl of the heavens by sevens, male and female; to keep seed alive on the face of all the earth.4 For in yet seven days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living being which I have made will I destroy from the ground.5 And Noah did according to all that Jehovah had commanded him.”
Genesis 7:16 “16 And they that came, came male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him. And Jehovah shut him in.”
Genesis 8:6-12 “6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.7 And he sent out the raven, which went forth going to and fro, until the waters were dried from the earth.8 And he sent out the dove from him, to see if the waters had become low on the ground.
9 But the dove found no resting-place for the sole of her foot, and returned to him into the ark; for the waters were on the whole earth; and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ark.10 And he waited yet other seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.
11 And the dove came to him at eventide; and behold, in her beak was an olive-leaf plucked off; and Noah knew that the waters had become low on the earth.12 And he waited yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; but she returned no more to him.”
Genesis 8:20 “20 And Noah built an altar to Jehovah; and took of every clean animal, and of all clean fowl, and offered up burnt-offerings on the altar.”
