1
And it came to pass that the flooda was forty daysb upon the landc, and the watersd increased and bare up the arke, and it was lifted up above the earthf.
2
And the waters prevailed and increased greatly in the land, and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
3
¶ And the waters prevailed in abundance upon the land; and all the haughty hills under the whole heavens were covered;
4
And Yaha could reach down to the ark from the veil that had been rent between the heavens and the earth as the waters prevail.
5
And the hillsides were covered, and the valleys were filled up all around about and there in, and all lustful things that moved upon the face of the earth ceased;
6
Both of fowla, and of cattleb, and of beasts, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, even all mankindc.
7
All who had lived in that land that YHVHa had breathed the breath of lifeb but did rejectc that life, these they died in their wrath;
8
And every that lived that went against the natural order was destroyed which was upon the face of the land:
9
Both humansa and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the air; and they were destroyed from the earth;
10
And Noah and Na’aham and they that were with them in the ark were the remnant, all the rest being blotted out.
12
And Elohima was mindful Noah and Na’amah and all that were with them in the ark;
13
And Elohim kept the oath that had been made between YHVH and Adam upon the earth, and the waters began to subside.
14
The fountains also of the great abyss were closed up, and the veila between the heavens and the earth was again sealed, and the downpouring from heaven was withheld;
15
And the waters returned from off the lands and were abated, for in the mercy of Yah and of Elohim all had been made clean.
16
¶ And it came to pass that the ark rested in the new creation, and in Yah; YHVH nourished her there upon the mountains of Ararat.
17
And the waters decreased until Yah, in the unity of Elohim, awoke the hilltops with life once again.
18
¶ And it came to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah and Na’amah prayed unto YHVH to unseal the door of the ark which Ye had madea, and it was done even as they asked;
19
And Na’amah sent forth a raven as the ambassador to seek and return, which went forth to and fro sharing his wisdom until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
20
And then she also sent forth a dove from Noah to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the grounda;
21
But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and thus she returned unto them into the ark, for the waters had not fully receded from off the face of all the landa;
22
And Noah put forth his hand, and took her, and so too let her come and go as she pleased to and fro about the ark.
23
And they stayed about the ark yet other seven daysa, and again they sent forth the dove out of the ark;
24
And the dove came unto him in the evening, and lo, in her mouth an olive leaf plucked off;
25
And thus did Noah and Na’amah know that the waters had abateda from off of the earth.
26
And they stayed yet other seven daysa; and upon the seventh day she went forth, that dove, which returned not again unto them anymore.
27
¶ And it came to pass that in the seconda month, on the sevenb and twentiethc day of the month, was the earth dried;
28
And the waters were dried up from off the earth, and thus in this new creation they did celebrate this as the first day of the firsta month of the new year;
29
And Noah and Na’amah their family did remove the coveringa from off the ark and looked; and they beheld that the face of the ground was dry.
