Genesis 8

1 And God kept Noah in mind, and all the living things and the cattle which were with him in the ark: and God sent a wind over the earth, and the waters went down.

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 And the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were shut, and the rain from heaven was stopped.

ad ye fountaynes of the depe ad the wyndowes of heave were stopte and the rayne of heaven was forbidde

3 And the waters went slowly back from the earth, and at the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters were lower.

and the waters returned from of ye erth ad abated after the ende of an hundred and. l. dayes.

4 And on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

And the arke rested vppo the mountayns of Ararat the. xvij. daye of the. vij. moneth.

5 And still the waters went on falling, till on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains were seen.

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 Then, after forty days, through the open window of the ark which he had made,

And after the ende of. xl. dayes. Noe opened the wyndow of the arke which he had made

7 Noah sent out a raven, which went this way and that till the waters were gone from the earth.

ad sent forth a raven which went out ever goinge and cominge agayne vntyll the waters were dreyed vpp vppon the erth

8 And he sent out a dove, to see if the waters had gone from the face of the earth;

Then sent he forth a doue from hym to wete whether the waters were fallen from of the erth.

9 But the dove saw no resting-place for her foot, and came back to the ark, for the waters were still over all the earth; and he put out his hand, and took her into the ark.

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 after waiting another seven days, he sent the dove out again;

And he abode yet. vij. dayes mo and sent out the doue agayne out of the arke

11 And the dove came back at evening, and in her mouth was an olive-leaf broken off: so Noah was certain that the waters had gone down on the earth.

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 after seven days more, he sent the dove out again, but she did not come back to him.

And he taried yet. vij. other dayes and sent forth the doue which from thence forth came no more agayne to him.

13 And in the six hundred and first year, on the first day of the first month, the waters were dry on the earth: and Noah took the cover off the ark and saw that the face of the earth was dry.

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 And on the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was dry.

so by the. xxvij. daye of the seconde moneth the erth was drye.

15 And God said to Noah,

And God spake vnto Noe saynge:

16 Go out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and your sons' wives.

come out of the arcke both thou and thy wyfe ad thy sonnes and thy sonnes wyues with the.

17 Take out with you every living thing which is with you, birds and cattle and everything which goes on the earth, so that they may have offspring and be fertile and be increased on the earth.

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 Noah went out with his sons and his wife and his sons' wives;

And Noe came out ad his sonnes and his wyfe and his sonnes wyues with hym.

19 And every beast and bird and every living thing of every sort which goes on the earth, went out of the ark.

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 Noah made an altar to the Lord, and from every clean beast and bird he made burned offerings on the altar.

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 when the sweet smell came up to the Lord, he said in his heart, I will not again put a curse on the earth because of man, for the thoughts of man's heart are evil from his earliest days; never again will I send destruction on all living things as I have done.

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 While the earth goes on, seed time and the getting in of the grain, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, will not come to an end.

Nether shall sowynge tyme and harvest colde and hete somere and wynter daye and nyghte ceasse as longe as the erth endureth.
