Tyndale⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² ad there fell a rayne vpon the erth .xl. dayes and .xl. nyghtes. ¹³ And the selfe same daye went Noe Sem Ham and Iapheth Noes sonnes and Noes wyfe and the .iij. wyues of his sonnes wyth them in to the arke: ¹⁴ both they and all maner of beastes in their kide and all maner of catell in their kynde and all maner of wormes that crepe vppon the erth in their kynde and all maner of byrdes in there kynde. and all maner off foules what soever had feders. ¹⁵ And they came vnto Noe in to the arke by cooples of all flesh yt had breth of lyfe in it. ¹⁶ And they that came came male ad female of every flesh acordige as God comaunded hym: and ye LORde shytt the dore vppo him ¹⁷ And the floud came .xl. dayes and .xl. nyghtes vppon the erth and the water increased and bare vp the arcke ad it was lifte vp from of the erth ¹⁸ And the water prevayled and increased exceadingly vppon the erth: and the arke went vppo he toppe of the waters. ¹⁹ And the waters prevayled excedingly above mesure vppo the erth so that all the hye hylles which are vnder all the partes of heaven were covered: ²⁰ eve .xv. cubytes hye prevayled the waters so that the hylles were covered. ²¹ And all fleshe that moved on the erth bothe birdes catell and beastes perisshed with al that crepte on the erth and all men: ²² so that all that had the breth of liffe in the nostrels of it thorow out all that was on drye lond dyed. ²³ Thus was destroyed all that was vppo the erth both man beastes wormes and foules of the ayre so that they were destroyed from the erth: save Noe was reserved only and they that were wyth hym in the arke. ²⁴ And the waters prevayled vppon the erth an hundred and fyftye dayes. ⁸ ¹ And god remebred Noe and all ye beastes and all ye catell yt were with hi in ye arke And god made a wynde to blow vppo ye erth and ye waters ceased: ² ad ye fountaynes of the depe ad the wyndowes of heave were stopte and the rayne of heaven was forbidde ³ and the waters returned from of ye erth ad abated after the ende of an hundred and .l. dayes. ⁴ And the arke rested vppo the mountayns of Ararat the .xvij. daye of the .vij. moneth. ⁵ And the waters went away ad decreased vntyll the x. moneth. And the fyrst daye of the tenth moneth the toppes of the mounteyns appered. ⁶ And after the ende of .xl. dayes. Noe opened the wyndow of the arke which he had made ⁷ ad sent forth a raven which went out ever goinge and cominge agayne vntyll the waters were dreyed vpp vppon the erth ⁸ Then sent he forth a doue from hym to wete whether the waters were fallen from of the erth. ⁹ And when the doue coude fynde no restinge place for hyr fote she returned to him agayne vnto the arke for the waters were vppon the face of all the erth. And he put out hys honde and toke her and pulled hyr to hym in to the arke ¹⁰ And he abode yet .vij. dayes mo and sent out the doue agayne out of the arke ¹¹ And the doue came to hym agayne aboute eventyde and beholde: There was in hyr mouth a lefe of an olyve tre which she had plucked wherby Noe perceaved that the waters wer abated vppon the erth. ¹² And he taried yet .vij. other dayes and sent forth the doue which from thence forth came no more agayne to him. ¹³ And it came to passe the syxte hundred and one yere and the fyrst daye of the fyrst moneth that the waters were dryed vpp apon the erth. And Noe toke off the hatches of the arke and loked: And beholde the face of the erth was drye. ¹⁴ so by the .xxvij. daye of the seconde moneth the erth was drye. ¹⁵ And God spake vnto Noe saynge: ¹⁶ come out of the arcke both thou and thy wyfe ad thy sonnes and thy sonnes wyues with the. ¹⁷ And all the beastes that are with the whatsoever flesh it be both foule and catell and all maner wormes that crepe on the erth brynge out with the and let them moue growe ad multiplye vppon the erth. ¹⁸ And Noe came out ad his sonnes and his wyfe and his sonnes wyues with hym. ¹⁹ And all the beastes and all the wormes and all the foules and all that moved vppon the erth came also out of the arke all of one kynde together. ²⁰ And Noe made an aulter vnto the LORDE and toke of all maner of clene beastes and all maner of clene foules and offred sacrifyce vppon the aulter. ²¹ And the LORDE smellyd a swete savoure and sayd in his hert: I wyll henceforth no more curse the erth for mannes sake for the imagynacion of mannes hert is evell even from the very youth of hym. Morover I wyll not destroy from henceforth all that lyveth as I haue done. ²² Nether shall sowynge tyme and harvest colde and hete somere and wynter daye and nyghte ceasse as longe as the erth endureth. ⁹ ¹ And God blessed Noe and his sonnes and sayd vnto them: Increase and multiplye and fyll the erth. ² The feare also and drede of yow be vppon all beastes of the erth and vppon all foules of the ayre ad vppon all that crepeth on the erth and vppon all fyshes of the see which are geven vnto youre handes ³ And all that moveth vppon the erth havynge lyfe shall be youre meate: Euen as ye grene herbes so geue I yow all thynge. ⁴ Only the flesh with his life which is his bloud se that ye eate not. ⁵ For verely the bloude of yow wherein youre lyves are wyll I requyre: Eue of the hande of all beastes wyll I requyre it And of the hande of man and of the hand off euery mannes brother wyll I requyre the lyfe of man: ⁶ so yt he which shedeth mannes bloude shall haue hys bloud shed by man agayne: for God made man after his awne lycknesse. ⁷ See that ye encrease and waxe and be occupyde vppon the erth and multiplye therein. ⁸ Farthermore God spake vnto Noe and to hys sonnes wyth hym saynge: ⁹ see I make my bod wyth you and youre seed after you ¹⁰ and wyth all lyvynge thinge that is wyth you: both foule and catell and all maner beste of the erth that is wyth yow of all that commeth out of the arke what soeuer beste of the erth it be. ¹¹ I make my bonde wyth yow that hence forth all flesh shall not be destroyed wyth yt waters of any floud ad yt hence forth there shall not be a floud to destroy the erth. ¹² And God sayd. This is the token of my bode which I make betwene me and yow ad betwene all lyvynge thyng that is with yow for ever: ¹³ I wyll sette my bowe in the cloudes and it shall be a sygne of the appoyntment made betwene me and the erth: ¹⁴ So that when I brynge in cloudes vpo ye erth the bowe shall appere in ye cloudes. ¹⁵ And than wyll I thynke vppon my testament which I haue made betwene me and yow and all that lyveth what soeuer flesh it be. So that henceforth there shall be no more waters to make a floud to destroy all flesh. ¹⁶ The bowe shalbe in the cloudes and I wyll loke vpon it to remembre the euerlastynge testament betwene God and all that lyveth vppon the erth what soeuer flesh it be. ¹⁷ And God sayd vnto Noe: This is the sygne of the testament which I have made betwene me and all flesh yt is on the erth. ¹⁸ The sonnes of Noe that came out of the arke were: Sem Ham and Iapheth. And Ham he is the father of Canaa. ¹⁹ These are the .iij. sonnes of Noe and of these was all the world overspred. ²⁰ And Noe beynge an husbad man went furth and planted a vyneyarde ²¹ and drancke of the wyne and was droncke and laye vncouered in the myddest of his tet. ²² And Ham the father of Canaan sawe his fathers prevytees and tolde his ij. brethren that were wythout. ²³ And Sem and Iapheth toke a mantell and put it on both there shulders ad went backward ad covered there fathers secrets but there faces were backward So that they sawe not there fathers nakydnes. ²⁴ As soone as Noe was awaked fro his wyne and wyst what his yongest sonne had done vnto hym ²⁵ he sayd: cursed be Canaan ad a seruante, of all seruantes be he to his brethren. ²⁶ And he sayd: Blessed be the LORde God of Se and Canaan be his seruante. ²⁷ God increase Iapheth that he may dwelle in the tentes of Sem. And Canaan be their seruante. ²⁸ And Noe lyved after the floude .iij. hundred and .l. yere: So that all the dayes of Noe were ix. hundred and .l. yere ad than he dyed. ¹⁰ ¹ These are the generations of the sonnes of Noe: of Sem Ham and Iapheth which begat them children after the floude. ² The sonnes of Iapheth were: Gomyr Magog Madai Iauan Tuball Mesech and Thyras. ³ And the sonnes of Gomyr were: Ascenas Riphat and Togarina. ⁴ And the sonnes of Iauan were: Elisa Tharsis Cithun and Dodanim. ⁵ Of these came the Iles of the gentylls in there contres every man in his speach kynred and nation. ⁶ The sonnes of Ham were: Chus Misraim Phut and Canaan. ⁷ The sonnes of Chus: were Seba Hevila Sabta Rayma and Sabtema. And the sonnes of Rayma were: Sheba and Dedan. ⁸ Chus also begot Nemrod which bega to be myghtye in the erth. ⁹ He was a myghtie hunter in the syghte of the LORde: Where of came the proverbe: he is as Nemrod that myghtie hunter in the syghte of the LORde. ¹⁰ And the begynnynge of hys kyngdome was Babell Erech Achad and Chalne in the lande of Synear: ¹¹ Out of that lande came Assur and buylded Ninyue and the cyte rehoboth and Calah ¹² And Ressen betwene Ninyue ad Chalah. That is a grete cyte. ¹³ And Mizraim begat Iudun Enamim Leabim Naphtuhim ¹⁴ Pathrusim and Castuhim: from whence came the Philystyns and the Capthiherynes. ¹⁵ Canaan also begat zidon his eldest sonne and Heth ¹⁶ Iebusi Emori Girgosi ¹⁷ Hiui Arki Sini ¹⁸ Aruadi Zemari and hamari. And afterward sprange the kynreds of the Canaanytes ¹⁹ And the costes of the Canaanytes were fro Sydon tyll thou come to Gerara and to Asa and tyll thou come to Sodoma Gomorra Adama Zeboim: eve vnto Lasa. ²⁰ These were the chyldre of Ham in there kynreddes tonges landes and nations. ²¹ And Sem the father of all ye childre of Eber and the eldest brother of Iapheth begat children also. ²² And his sonnes were: Elam Assur Arphachsad Lud ad Aram. ²³ And ye childree of Aram were: Vz Hul Gether and Mas ²⁴ And Arphachsad begat Sala and Sala begat Eber. ²⁵ And Eber begat .ij. sonnes. The name of the one was Peleg for in his tyme the erth was devyded. And the name of his brother was Iaketanr ²⁶ Iaketan begat Almodad Saleph Hyzarmoneth Iarah ²⁷ Hadoram Vsal Dikela ²⁸ Obal Abimach Seba ²⁹ Ophir Heuila and Iobab. All these are the sonnes of Iaketan. ³⁰ And the dwellynge of them was from Mesa vntill thou come vnto Sephara a mountayne of the easte lande. ³¹ These are the sonnes o Sem in their kynreddes languages contrees and nations. ³² These are the kynreddes of the sonnes of Noe in their generations and nations. And of these came the people that were in the world after the floude. ¹¹ ¹ And all the world was of one tonge and one language. ² And as they came from the east they founde a playne in the lande of Synear and there they dwelled. ³ And they sayd one to a nother: come on let us make brycke ad burne it wyth fyre. So brycke was there stone and slyme was there morter ⁴ And they sayd: Come on let vs buylde vs a cyte and a toure that the toppe may reach vnto heauen. And let vs make us a name for perauenture we shall be scatered abrode over all the erth. ⁵ And the LORde came downe to see the cyte and the toure which the childern of Ada had buylded. ⁶ And the LORde sayd: See the people is one and haue one tonge amonge them all. And thys haue they begon to do and wyll not leaue of from all that they haue purposed to do. ⁷ Come on let vs descende and myngell theire tonge even there that one vnderstonde not what a nother sayeth. ⁸ Thus ye LORde skatered them from thence vppon all the erth. And they left of to buylde the cyte. ⁹ Wherfore the name of it is called Babell because that the LORDE there confounded the tonge of all the world. And because that the LORde from thence skatered them abrode vppon all the erth. ¹⁰ These are the generations of Sem: Se was an hundred yere olde and begat Arcphachsad ij. yere after the floude. ¹¹ And Se lyved after he had begot Arphachsad .v. hundred yere an begat sonnes and doughters. ¹² And Arphacsad lyued .xxxv. yere and begat Sala ¹³ and lyved after he had begot Sala iiij. hudred yere and .iij and begat sonnes and doughters. ¹⁴ And Sala was .xxx. yere old and begat Eber ¹⁵ ad lyued after he had begot Eber .iiij. hudred and thre yere ad begat sonnes and doughters ¹⁶ When Eber was .xxxiiij. yere olde he begat Peleg ¹⁷ and lyued after he had begot Peleg foure hundred and .xxx. yere and begat sonnes and doughters. ¹⁸ And Peleg when he was .xxx. yere olde begat Regu ¹⁹ and lyued after he had begot Regu. ij. hundred and .ix. yere and begat sonnes and doughters. ²⁰ And Regu when he had lyued .xxxij. yere begat Serug ²¹ and lyued after he had begot Serug .ij. hundred and .vij. yere and begat sonnes and doughters. ²² And when Serug was .xxx. yere olde he begat Nahor ²³ and lyued after he had begot Nahor .ij. hundred yere and begat sonnes and doughters. ²⁴ And Nahor when he was .xxix. yere olde begat Terah ²⁵ and lyved after he had begot Terah an hundred and .xix. yere and begat sonnes and doughters. ²⁶ And when Terah was .lxx. yere olde he begat Abram Nahor and Haran. ²⁷ And these are the generations of Terah. Terah begat Abram Nahor and Haran. And Haran begat Lot. ²⁸ And Haran dyed before Terah his father in the londe where he was borne at Vr in Chaldea. ²⁹ And Abram and Nahor toke them wyves. Abras wyfe was called Sarai. And Nahors wyfe Mylca the doughter of Haran which was father of Milca ad of Iisca. ³⁰ But Sarai was baren and had no childe. ³¹ Than toke Terah Abram his sonne and Lot his sonne Harans sonne and Sarai his doughter in lawe his sone Abrams wyfe. And they went wyth hym from Vr in Chaldea to go in to the lade of Chanaan. And they came to Haran and dwelled there. ³² And when Terah was ij. hundred yere old and .v. he dyed in Haran.
