GENESIS 8:1-22
Chapter 8
1 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing,
and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;
2 The
fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
3 And
the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
4 And
the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
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.
6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark 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.
8 Also
he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
9 But the dove found
no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth:
then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.
10 And he stayed yet other seven
days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in
her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
12 And he stayed
yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
13 And it came to pass
in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, 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.
14 And in
the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
15 And God spake unto Noah, saying,
16 Go
forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
17 Bring forth with thee 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; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
18 And Noah
went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:
19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every
fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
20 And Noah builded an
altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21 And
the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake;
for 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.
22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night
shall not cease.
GENESIS 9:1-10:32
CHAPTER 9
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto
them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon
every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of
the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green
herb have I given you all things.
4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
5 And
surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the
hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.
6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be
shed: for in the image of God made he man.
7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the
earth, and multiply therein.
8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 And I, behold,
I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
10 And with every living creature that is with you,
of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the
earth.
11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of
a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant
which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
13 I do set
my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 And it shall come to pass,
when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
15 And I will remember my covenant,
which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy
all flesh.
16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant
between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
17 And God said unto Noah, This is the
token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
18 And the sons of
Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
19 These are the
three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted
a vineyard:
21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
22 And Ham,
the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
23 And Shem and Japheth
took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their
faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his
younger son had done unto him.
25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 And
he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall
dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty
years.
29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
CHAPTER 10
1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah,
Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and
Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
4 And
the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in
their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and
Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
7 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and
the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.
8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
9 He
was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
10 And
the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
11 Out of that land
went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah:
the same is a great city.
13 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
14 And Pathrusim,
and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.
15 And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,
16 And
the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,
17 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
18 And
the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
19 And
the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah,
and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.
20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in
their countries, and in their nations.
21 Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth
the elder, even to him were children born.
22 The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
23 And
the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
24 And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
25 And
unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was
Joktan.
26 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazar-maveth, and Jerah,
27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and
Diklah,
28 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
29 And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons
of Joktan.
30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.
31 These are
the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
32 These are the
families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth
after the flood.
Mathew 4:1-25
1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted
of the devil.
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
3 And when
the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 But he answered
and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5 Then
the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 And saith unto him, If
thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their
hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written
again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and
sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give
thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written,
Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels
came and ministered unto him.
12 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;
13 And
leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
14 That
it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim,
by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light;
and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
17 From that time Jesus began to preach,
and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren,
Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
19 And he saith unto
them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
21 And
going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their
father, mending their nets; and he called them.
22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed
him.
23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and
healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
24 And his fame went throughout all Syria:
and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed
with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.
25 And there followed
him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
