Genesis 6

1 And it came to passe wha men bega to multiplye apo the erth ad had begot them doughters

2 the sonnes of God sawe the doughters of men that they were fayre and toke vnto them wyves which they best liked amoge the all.

3 And the LORd sayd: My spirite shall not allwaye stryve withe man for they are flesh. Nevertheles I wyll geue them yet space and hundred and .xx. yeres

4 There were tirantes in the world in thos dayes. For after that the children of God had gone in vnto the doughters of men and had begotten them childern the same childern were the mightiest of the world and men of renowne

5 And whan the LORde sawe yt the wekednesse of man was encreased apon the erth and that all the ymaginacion and toughtes of his hert was only evell continually

6 he repented that he had made man apon the erth and sorowed in his hert.

7 And sayd: I wyll destroy mankynde which I haue made fro of the face of the erth: both man beast worme and foule of the ayre for it repeteth me that I haue made them.

8 But yet Noe found grace in the syghte of the LORde.

9 These are the generatios of Noe. Noe was a righteous man and vncorrupte in his tyme and walked wyth god.

10 And Noe begat .iij. sonnes: Sem Ham and Iapheth.

11 And the erth was corrupte in the syghte of god and was full of mischefe.

12 And God loked vpon the erth ad loo it was corrupte: for all flesh had corrupte his way vppon the erth.

13 Than sayd God to Noe: the end of all flesh is come before me for the erth is full of there myschefe. And loo I wyll destroy them with the erth.

14 Make the an arcke of pyne tree and make chaumbers in the arcke and pytch it wythin and wythout wyth pytch.

15 And of this facion shalt thou make it.The lenth of the arcke shall be .iij. hundred cubytes ad the bredth of it .l. cubytes and the heyth of it .xxx. cubytes.

16 A wyndow shalt thou make aboue in the arcke. And wythin a cubyte compasse shalt thou finysh it.And the dore of the arcke shalt thou sette in ye syde of it: and thou shalt make it with .iij loftes one aboue an other.

17 For behold I wil bringe in a floud of water apon the erth to destroy all flesh from vnder heaven wherin breth of life is so that all that is in the erth shall perish.

18 But I will make myne apoyntement with the that both thou shalt come in to ye arcke and thy sonnes thy wyfe and thy sonnes wyves with the.

19 And of all that lyveth what soever flesh it be shalt thou brynge in to the arcke of every thynge a payre to kepe them a lyve wyth the. And male and female

20 se that they be of byrdes in their kynde and of beastes in their kynde and of all maner of wormes of the erth in their kinde: a payre of every thinge shall come vnto the to kepe them a lyve.

21 And take vnto the of all maner of meate yt may be eaten and laye it vp in stoore by the that it may be meate both for ye and for the:

22 and Noe dyd acordynge to all that God commaunded hym.

Genesis 7

1 And the LORde sayd vnto Noe: goo in to the arcke both thou and all thy houssold. For the haue I sene rightuous before me in thys generacion.

2 Of all clene beastes take vnto the .vij. of every kynde the male and hys female And of vnclene beastes a payre the male and hys female:

3 lykewyse of the byrdes of the ayre vij. of every kynde male and female to save seed vppon all the erth.

4 For .vij. dayes hence wyll I send rayne vppo the erth .xl. dayes and .xl. nyghtes and wyll dystroy all maner of thynges that I haue made from of the face of the erth..

5 And Noe dyd acordynge to all yt the lorde comaunded hym:

6 and Noe was .vi. hundred yere olde when the floud of water came vppon the erth:

7 and Noe went and his sonnes and his wyfe and his sonnes wyves wyth hym in to the arke from the waters of the floud.

8 And of clene beastes and of beastes that ware vnclene and of byrdes and of all that crepeth vppo the erth

9 came in by cooples of every kynde vnto Noe in to the arke: a male and a female: even as God commaunded Noe.

10 And the seventh daye the waters of the floud came vppon the erth.

11 In the .vi. hundred yere of Noes lyfe in the secode moneth in the .xvij daye of the moneth yt same daye were all the founteynes of the grete depe broken vp and the wyndowes of heave were opened

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.

Genesis 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.
