Genesis 8

About Genesis Genesis tells of creation, the first sin, the flood, and God's promises to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph.

And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;SelectedGenesis 8:1Ask

The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;SelectedGenesis 8:2Ask

And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.SelectedGenesis 8:3Ask

And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.SelectedGenesis 8:4Ask

And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.SelectedGenesis 8:5Ask

And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:SelectedGenesis 8:6Ask

And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.SelectedGenesis 8:7Ask

Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;SelectedGenesis 8:8Ask

But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she 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.SelectedGenesis 8:9Ask

And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;SelectedGenesis 8:10Ask

And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.SelectedGenesis 8:11Ask

And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.SelectedGenesis 8:12Ask

And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first 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.SelectedGenesis 8:13Ask

And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.SelectedGenesis 8:14Ask

And God spake unto Noah, saying,SelectedGenesis 8:15Ask

Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee.SelectedGenesis 8:16Ask

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 be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.SelectedGenesis 8:17Ask

And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him:SelectedGenesis 8:18Ask

Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.SelectedGenesis 8:19Ask

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.SelectedGenesis 8:20Ask

And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.SelectedGenesis 8:21Ask

While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.SelectedGenesis 8:22Ask
