5 And the waters were goyng and decreasing vntyll the tenth moneth: In the tenth moneth, and in the first day of the same moneth, were the toppes of the mountaynes seene
6 And after the ende of the fourtith day, it came to passe [that] Noah opened the wyndowe of the arke which he had made
7 And he sent foorth a Rauen, whiche went out, goyng foorth, and returnyng, vntyll the waters were dryed vp vpon the earth
8 And agayne he sent foort a Doue from him, that he myght see yf the waters were abated from the vpper face of the grounde
9 And the Doue founde no rest for the sole of her foote, and she returned vnto him into the arke, for the waters [were] in the vpper face of the whole earth, Then he put foorth his hande, & tooke her, and pulled her to him into the arke
10 And he abode yet other seuen dayes, and agayne he sent foorth the Doue out of the arke
11 And the Doue came to hym in the euentide, and loe, in her mouth was an Oliue leafe that she had pluct, wherby Noah dyd knowe that the waters were abated vpon the earth
12 And he abode yet other seuen dayes, and sent foorth the Doue, whiche returned not vnto him any more
13 And it came to passe, in the sixe hundreth and one yere, in ye first moneth, the first [day] of the moneth, the waters were dryed vp from the earth, and Noah remoued the coueryng of the arke, and looked, and beholde, the vpper face of the grounde was dryed vp
14 And in the seconde moneth, in the seuen and twentie day of the moneth was the earth dryed
15 And God spake vnto Noah, saying
16 Go foorth of the arke, thou, and thy wife, thy sonnes, and thy sonnes wiues with thee
17 And bryng foorth with thee euery beast that is with thee, of all fleshe, both foule and cattell, and euery worme that crepeth vpon the earth, that they may breede in the earth, and bring foorth fruite, and multiplie vpon earth
18 And so Noah came foorth, and his sonnes, his wyfe, and his sonnes wiues with hym
19 Euery beast also, and euery worme, euery foule, and whatsoeuer crepeth vpon the earth after their kyndes, went out of the arke
20 And Noah builded an aulter vnto ye Lorde, and tooke of euery cleane beast, and of euery cleane foule, & offred burnt offering on the aulte
21 And the Lorde smelled a sweete [or quiet] sauour, and the Lord sayde in his heart: I wyll not hencefoorth curse the grounde any more for mans sake, for the imagination of mans heart is euyll [euen] from his youth: neyther wyll I smyte any more euery thyng lyuyng, as I haue done
22 Yet therefore shall not sowyng tyme and haruest, colde and heate, sommer and wynter, day and nyght, ceasse all the dayes of the earth
9 1 And god blessed Noah, and his sonnes, & saide vnto them, be fruitfull and multiplie, and replenishe the earth
2 The feare of you, & the dread of you, shalbe vpon euery beast of the earth, and vpon euery foule of the ayre, vpon al that moueth vpon the earth, and vpon all the fishes of the sea, into your hande are they deliuered
3 Euery thyng that moueth it selfe, and that liueth, shall be meate for you, euen as the greene hearbe haue I geue you all thinges
4 But flesh in the life therof [which is] the blood therof, shall ye not eate
5 And surely your blood of your lyues wyl I require: at the hande of euery beast wyll I require it, and at the hand of man, at the hande of mans brother wyll I require the life of man
6 Who so sheddeth mans blood, by man shall his blood be shed, for in the image of God made he man
7 But be fruitefull, and multiplie you, breede in the earth, and increase therein
8 God spake also vnto Noah, & to his sonnes with hym, saying
9 Beholde, I, euen I establishe my couenaunt with you, and with your seede after you
10 And with euery liuing creature that is with you, in foule, in cattell, in euery beast of the earth whiche is with you, of all that go out of the arke, whatsoeuer liuing thyng of the earth it be
11 And my couenaunt I make with you, that from hencefoorth euery fleshe be not rooted out with the waters of a fludde, neither shall there be a fludde to destroy the earth any more
12 And God sayde: this is the token of the couenaut which I make betweene me and you, and euery lyuyng creature that is with you, for euer
13 I do set my bowe in the cloude, and it shall be for a token betweene me and the earth
14 And it shall come to passe, that when I bryng a cloude vpon the earth, the bowe also shalbe seene in ye same cloude
15 And I wyll thinke vpon my couenaunt whiche is betweene me and you, and euery liuing creature in all fleshe: and it shall no more come to passe, that waters make a fludde to destroy all fleshe
16 And the bowe shalbe in the cloude, and I wyll loke vpon it, that I may thinke vpon the euerlasting couenaunt, betweene god and euery liuing creature in all fleshe that is vpon the earth
17 And God sayd vnto Noah, This is the token of the couenaunt which I haue made betweene me and all fleshe that is vpon earth
18 The sonnes of Noah goyng foorth of the arke, were Sem, Ham, & Iapheth: and Ham is the father of Chanaan
19 These are the three sonnes of Noah, & of them was the whole earth ouerspread
20 Noah also began to be an husbandman, and planted a vineyarde
21 And he drynkyng of the wyne, was dronken, and vncouered within his tent
22 And Ham the father of Chanaan, seeyng the nakednesse of his father, tolde his two brethren without
23 And Sem and Iapheth takyng a garment, layde it vpon their shoulders, and commyng backwarde, couered the nakednesse of their father, namely their faces beyng turned away, lest they should see their fathers nakednesse
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knewe what his younger sonne had done vnto him
25 And he sayde: cursed be Chanaan, a seruaunt of seruauntes shall he be vnto his brethren
26 He sayde moreouer: blessed be the Lord God of Sem, and Chanaan shalbe his seruaunt
27 God shall enlarge Iapheth: and he shall dwell in the tentes of Sem, and Chanaan shalbe his seruaunt
28 Noah liued after the fludde three hundred and fiftie yeres
29 And all the dayes of Noah, were nine hundred and fiftie yeres, and he dyed
10 1 These are the generations of the sonnes of Noah, Sem, Ham, and Iapheth: and vnto them were chyldren borne after the fludde
