Genesis 8

1 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark: and God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters were assuaged;

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 windows of heaven were stopped; 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, gradually returning; and the waters were abated after the end of the 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, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

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

5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains 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 at the end of forty days, that Noah 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 which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up 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 He then sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground.

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

9 But the dove found no resting-place for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him unto the ark; for there was water on the face of the whole earth; then he put forth his hand, and took 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 he stayed yet another seven days, and again he 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 the dove came in to him at the time of the evening; and, lo, an olive-leaf plucked off was in her mouth; so Noah knew that the waters were abated 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 he stayed yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; but she returned not again unto him 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 hundredth and first year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, that the waters were dried up from off the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground 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 in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth perfectly dried up.

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

15 And God spoke unto Noah, saying,

And God spake vnto Noe saynge:

16 Go forth from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.

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

17 Every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, bring forth with thee; that they may breed abundantly on the earth, and be fruitful, 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 Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him.

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

19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their families, went 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 Noah built an altar unto the Lord, and he took of every clean cattle, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt-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 the Lord smelled the sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for the sake of man; although the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth: neither will I again smite any more every thing living, 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 while the earth remaineth, seed-time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, 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.
