Genesis 8

1 And God remembered Noe, and all the living creatures, and all the cattle which were with him in the ark, and brought a wind upon the earth, and the waters were abated.

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 The fountains also of the deep, and the flood gates of heaven were shut up, and the rain from heaven was restrained.

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 off the earth going and coming: and they began to be abated after a hundred and fifty days.

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

4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, the seven and twentieth day of the month, upon the mountains of Armenia.

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

5 And the waters were going and decreasing until the tenth month: for in the tenth month, the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains appeared.

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 that forty days were passed, Noe, opening the window of the ark which he had made, sent forth a raven:

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

7 Which went forth and did not return, till the waters were dried up upon 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 He sent forth also a dove after him, to see if the waters had now ceased upon 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 she, not finding where her foot might rest, returned to him into the ark: for the waters were upon the whole earth: and he put forth his hand, and caught her, and brought 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 having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove out of the ark.

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

11 And she came to him in the evening, carrying a bough of an olive tree, with green leaves, in her mouth. Noe therefore understood that the waters were ceased upon 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 he stayed yet other seven days: and he sent forth the dove, which returned not any more unto him.

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

13 Therefore in the six hundredth and first year, the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were lessened upon the earth, and Noe opening the covering of the ark, looked, and saw that the face of the earth was dried.

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 In the second month, the seven and twentieth day of the month, the earth was dried.

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

15 And God spoke to Noe, saying:

And God spake vnto Noe saynge:

16 Go out of the ark, thou and thy wife, thy sons, and the wives of thy sons with thee.

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

17 All living things that are with thee of all flesh, as well in fowls as in beasts, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, bring out with thee, and go ye upon the earth: increase and multiply upon it.

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 So Noe went out, he and his sons: his wife, and the wives of his sons with him.

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

19 And all living things, and cattle, and creeping things that creep upon the earth, according to their kinds, 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 Noe built an altar unto the Lord: and taking of all cattle and fowls that were clean, offered holocausts upon 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 the Lord smelled a sweet savour, and said: I will no more curse the earth for the sake of man: for the imagination and thought of man’s heart are prone to evil from his youth: therefore I will no more destroy every living soul 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 All the days of the earth, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, night and day, shall not cease.

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