Genesis 8

1 And God remembered Noe, and all the wild beasts, and all the cattle, and all the birds, and all the reptiles that creep, as many as were with him in the ark, and God brought a wind upon the earth, and the water stayed.

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 were closed up, and the flood-gates of heaven, and the rain from heaven was withheld.

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

3 And the water subsided, and went off the earth, and after an hundred and fifty days the water was diminished, and the ark rested in the seventh month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.

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

4 And the water continued to decrease until the tenth month.

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

5 And in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the heads 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 And it came to pass after forty days Noe opened the 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 And he sent forth a raven; and it went forth and returned not until the water was dried from off 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 a dove after it to see if the water had ceased from off the earth.

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

9 And the dove not having found rest for her feet, returned to him into the ark, because the water was on all the face of the earth, and he stretched out his hand and took her, and brought her to himself 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 from the ark.

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

11 And the dove returned to him in the evening, and had a leaf of olive, a sprig in her mouth; and Noe knew that the water had ceased from off 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 having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove, and she did not return to him again any more.

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 pass in the six hundred and first year of the life of Noe, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the water subsided from off the earth, and Noe opened the covering of the ark which he had made, and he saw that the water had subsided from the face of the earth.

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 in the second month the earth was dried, on the twenty-seventh day of the month.

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

15 And the Lord God spoke to Noe, saying,

And God spake vnto Noe saynge:

16 Come out from the ark, you and your wife and your sons, and your sons' wives with you.

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

17 And all the wild beasts as many as are with you, and all flesh both of birds and beasts, and every reptile moving upon the earth, bring forth with you: and increase you and multiply upon 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 Noe came forth, and his wife and his sons, and his sons' wives with him.

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

19 And all the wild beasts and all the cattle and every bird, and every reptile creeping upon the earth after their kind, came forth 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 to the Lord, and took of all clean beasts, and of all clean birds, and offered a whole burnt offering 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 God smelled a smell of sweetness, and the Lord God having considered, said, I will not any more curse the earth, because of the works of men, because the imagination of man is intently bent upon evil things from his youth, I will not therefore any more strike all living flesh 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, seed and harvest, cold and heat, summer and spring, shall not cease by day or night.

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