| Noah . . . just . . . and perfect--not absolutely; for since the fall of Adam no man has been free from sin except Jesus Christ. But as living by faith he was just (Gal 3:2; Heb 11:7) and perfect--that is, sincere in his desire to do God's will. |

- Section VI - The Deluge
- XXIII. The Ark
9. דור dôr "age, time from birth to death," applied either to an individual or the whole contemporary race, running parallel with some leading individual. Hence, the "race" or "generation" living during that time.
14. תבה tēbâh "chest, ark." It is used only of this vessel of Noah's construction, and of the little vessel in which Moses was put Exo 2:3, Exo 2:5. The root, according to Furst, means "to be hollow." אבה 'ēbeh a cognate word, signifies "a reed;" κιβωτός kibōtos Septuagint. גפר goper α. λ., perhaps "fir, cypress, resinous wood." קן qēn "nest, room; related: prepare, rear up."
16. צהר tsohar "shining, light;" not the same as the חלון chalôn Gen 8:6, or the aperture through which Noah let out the raven.
18. ברית berı̂yt "covenant; related: cut, eat, choose, decide."
The close of the preceding document introduces the opening topic of this one. The same rule applies to all that have gone before. The generations of the skies and the land Gen 2:4 are introduced by the finishing of the skies and the land Gen 2:1; the generations of man in the line of Sheth Gen 5:1, by the birth of Sheth Gen 4:25; and now the generations of Noah, by the notice that Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. The narrative here also, as usual, reverts to a point of time before the stage of affairs described in the close of the preceding passage. Yet there is nothing here that seems to indicate a new author. The previous paragraph is historical, and closely connected with the end of the fourth chapter; and it suitably prepares for the proceedings of Noah, under the divine direction, on the eye of the deluge. We have now a recapitulation of the agent and the occasion, and then the divine commission and its execution.
Gen 6:9-12
Here are the man and the occasion.
Gen 6:9-10
The generations of Noah. - In the third document we had the generations of man; now we are limited to Noah, because he is himself at peace with God, and is now the head and representative of those who are in the same blessed relation. The narrative, therefore, for the first time, formally confines itself to the portion of the human family in communion with God, Noah is here characterized by two new and important epithets - "just" and "perfect." It is to be remembered that he had already found grace in the eyes of the Lord. Adam was created good; but by disobedience he became guilty, and all his race, Noah among the rest, became involved in that guilt. To be just is to be right in point of law, and thereby entitled to all the blessings of the acquitted and justified. When applied to the guilty, this epithet implies pardon of sin among other benefits of grace. It also presupposes that spiritual change by which the soul returns from estrangement to reconciliation with God. Hence, Noah is not only just, but perfect. This attribute of character imports not only the turning from darkness to light, from error to truth, from wrong to right, but the stability of moral determination which arises from the struggle, the trial, the victory of good over evil, therein involved. The just is the right in law; the perfect is the tested in holiness. "In his ages;" among the men of his age. This phrase indicates the contrast between Noah and the men of his day. It is probable, moreover, that he was of pure descent, and in that respect also distinguished from his contemporaries who were the offspring of promiscuous intermarriage between the godly and the ungodly. "Noah walked with God," like Henok. This is the native consequence of his victory over sin, and his acceptance with God. His sons are mentioned, as they are essentially connected with the following events.
Gen 6:11-12
And the land was corrupt. - In contrast with Noah, the rest of the race were corrupt - entirely depraved by sin. "It was filled with violence" - with the outward exhibition of inward carnality. "And God saw this." It was patent to the eye of Heaven. This is the ground of the following commission.
Gen 6:13-21
The directions concerning the ark embrace the purpose to destroy the race of man Gen 6:13, the plan and specification of the ark Gen 6:14-16, the announcement of the deluge Gen 6:17, the arrangements for the preservation of Noah and his family, and certain kinds of animals Gen 6:18-21.
Gen 6:13
The end of all flesh. - The end may mean either the point to which it tends, or the extermination of the race. The latter is the simpler. All flesh is to be understood of the whole race, while yet it does not preclude the exception of Noah and his family. This teaches us to beware of applying an inflexible literality to such terms as all, when used in the sense of ordinary conversation. "Is come before me," is in the contemplation of my mind as an event soon to be realized. "For the land is filled with violence." The reason. "I will destroy them." The resolve. There is retribution here, for the words "corrupt" and "destroy" are the same in the original.
Gen 6:14-16
The ark. - Reckoning the cubit at 1.8 feet, we find the length to be about 540, the breadth 90, and the height 54 feet. The construction of such a vessel implies great skill in carpentry. The lighting apparatus is not described so particularly that we can form any conception of it. It was probably in the roof. The roof may have been flat. "And to a cubit shalt thou finish it above." The cubit is possibly the height of the parapet round the lighting and ventilating aperture. The opening occupied, it may be, a considerable portion of the roof, and was covered during the rain with an awning מכסה mı̂ksēh, Gen 8:13. If, however, it was in the sides of the ark, the cubit was merely its height. It was then finished with a strong railing, which went round the whole ark, and over which the covering, above mentioned, hung down on every side. The door was in the side, and the stories were three. In each were of course many "nests" or chambers, for animals and stores. It may be curious to a mechanical mind to frame the details of this structure from the general hints here given; but it could not serve any practical end. Only the animals necessary to man, or unusual to the region covered by the deluge, required to be included in the ark. It seems likely that wild animals in general were not included. It is obvious, therefore, that we cannot calculate the number of animals preserved in the ark, or compare the space they would require with its recorded dimensions. We may rest assured that there was accommodation for all that needed to be there.
Gen 6:17
The method of destruction is now specified. A water flood shall cover the land, in which all flesh shall perish. I, "behold," I. This catastrophe is due to the interposition of the Creator. It does not come according to the ordinary laws of physics, but according to the higher law of ethics.
Gen 6:18-21
The covenant with Noah. Here is the first appearance of a covenant between God and man on the face of Scripture. A covenant is a solemn compact, tacit or express, between two parties, in which each is bound to perform his part. Hence, a covenant implies the moral faculty; and wherever the moral faculty exists, there must needs be a covenant. Consequently, between God and man there was of necessity a covenant from the very beginning, though the name do not appear. At first it was a covenant of works, in regard to man; but now that works have failed, it can only be a covenant of grace to the penitent sinner. "My covenant." The word "my" points to its original establishment with Adam. My primeval covenant, which I am resolved not to abandon. "Will I establish." Though Adam has failed, yet will I find means of maintaining my covenant of life with the seed of the woman. "With thee." Though all flesh be to perish through breach of my covenant, yet will I uphold it with thee. "Go into the ark." This is the means of safety. Some may say in their hearts, this is a clumsy way to save Noah. But if he is to be saved, there must be some way. And it is not a sign of wisdom to prescribe the way to the All-wise. Rather let us reflect that the erection of this ark was a daily warning to a wicked race, a deepening lesson of reliance on God to Noah and his household, and a most salutary occupation for the progenitors of the future race of mankind. "And thy sons, etc." Noah's household share in the covenant.
Gen 6:19-20
And of all the living. - For the sake of Noah, the animal species also shall be preserved, "two of each, male and female." They are to come in pairs for propagation. The fowl, the cattle, the creeping thing or smaller animals, are to come. From this it appears that the wild animals are not included among the inmates of the ark. (See Gen 7:2-3, Gen 7:8.) The word "all" is not to be pressed beyond the specification of the writer. As the deluge was universal only in respect to the human race, it was not necessary to include any animals but those that were near man, and within the range of the overwhelming waters. Fodder and other provisions for a year have to be laid in.
Gen 6:22
The obedience of Noah and the accomplishment of his task are here recorded. The building of so enormous a fabric must have occupied many years. |
| The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917] |
walked
Noah and Enoch are the two antediluvians of whom it is said that they "walked with God" (Gen 5:24); (Gen 6:9).
Enoch, "translated that he should not see death" (Heb 11:5) becomes a type of the saints who will be "caught up" before the great tribulation; (Th1 4:14-17); (Rev 3:10); (Dan 12:1); (Mat 24:21).
Noah, preserved through the Flood, is a type of the Israelitish people who will be preserved through the tribulation (Jer 30:5-9). See "Tribulation"; (Psa 2:5); (Rev 7:14). |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
Gen 6:9-12 contain a description of Noah and his contemporaries; Gen 6:13-22, the announcement of the purpose of God with reference to the flood.
Gen 6:9
"Noah, a righteous man, was blameless among his generations:" righteous in his moral relation to God; blameless (τέλειος, integer) in his character and conduct. דּרות, γενεαί, were the generations or families "which passed by Noah, the Nestor of his time." His righteousness and integrity were manifested in his walking with God, in which he resembled Enoch (Gen 5:22).
Gen 6:10-12
In Gen 6:10-12, the account of the birth of his three sons, and of the corruption of all flesh, is repeated. This corruption is represented as corrupting the whole earth and filling it with wickedness; and thus the judgment of the flood is for the first time fully accounted for. "The earth was corrupt before God (Elohim points back to the previous Elohim in Gen 6:9)," it became so conspicuous to God, that He could not refrain from punishment. The corruption proceeded from the fact, that "all flesh" - i.e., the whole human race which had resisted the influence of the Spirit of God and become flesh (see Gen 6:3) - "had corrupted its way." The term "flesh" in Gen 6:12 cannot include the animal world, since the expression, "corrupted its way," is applicable to man alone. The fact that in Gen 6:13 and Gen 6:17 this term embraces both men and animals is no proof to the contrary, for the simple reason, that in Gen 6:19 "all flesh" denotes the animal world only, an evident proof that the precise meaning of the word must always be determined from the context.
Gen 6:13
"The end of all flesh is come before Me." אל בּוא, when applied to rumours, invariably signifies "to reach the ear" (vid., Gen 18:21; Exo 3:9; Est 9:11); hence לפני בּא in this case cannot mean a me constitutus est (Ges.). קץ, therefore, is not the end in the sense of destruction, but the end (extremity) of depravity or corruption, which leads to destruction. "For the earth has become full of wickedness מפּגיהם," i.e., proceeding from them, "and I destroy them along with the earth." Because all flesh had destroyed its way, it should be destroyed with the earth by God. The lex talionis is obvious here.
Gen 6:14-15
Noah was exempted from the extermination. He was to build an ark, in order that he himself, his family, and the animals might be preserved. תּבה, which is only used here and in Exo 2:3, Exo 2:5, where it is applied to the ark in which Moses was placed, is probably an Egyptian word: the lxx render it κίβωτος here, and θίβη in Exodus; the Vulgate arca, from which our word ark is derived. Gopher-wood (ligna bituminata; Jerome) is most likely cypress. The ἁπ. λεγ. gopher is related to כּפר, resin, and κυπάρισσος; it is no proof to the contrary that in later Hebrew the cypress is called berosh, for gopher belongs to the pre-Hebraic times. The ark was to be made cells, i.e., divided into cells, קנּים (lit., nests, niduli, mansiunculae), and pitched (כּפר denom. from כּפר) within and without with copher, or asphalte (lxx ἄσφαλτος, Vulg. bitumen). On the supposition, which is a very probable one, that the ark was built in the form not of a ship, but of a chest, with flat bottom, like a floating house, as it was not meant for sailing, but merely to float upon the water, the dimensions, 300 cubits long, 50 broad, and 30 high, give a superficial area of 15,000 square cubits, and a cubic measurement of 450,000 cubits, probably to the ordinary standard, "after the elbow of a man" (Deu 3:11), i.e., measured from the elbow to the end of the middle finger.
Gen 6:16
"Light shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit from above shalt thou finish it." As the meaning light for צהר is established by the word צהרים, "double-light" or mid-day, the passage can only signify that a hole or opening for light and air was to be so constructed as to reach within a cubit of the edge of the roof. A window only a cubit square could not possibly be intended; for צהר is not synonymous with חלּון (Gen 8:6), but signifies, generally, a space for light, or by which light could be admitted into the ark, and in which the window, or lattice for opening and shutting, could be fixed; though we can form no distinct idea of what the arrangement was. The door he was to place in the side; and to make "lower, second, and third (sc., cells)," i.e., three distinct stories.
(Note: As the height of the ark was thirty cubits, the three stories of cells can hardly have filled the entire space, since a room ten cubits high, or nine cubits if we deduct the thickness of the floors, would have been a prodigality of space beyond what the necessities required. It has been conjectured that above or below these stories there was space provided for the necessary supplies of food and fodder. At the same time, this is pure conjecture, like every other calculation, not only as to the number and size of the cells, but also as to the number of animals to be collected and the fodder they would require. Hence every objection that has been raised to the suitability of the structure, and the possibility of collecting all the animals in the ark and providing them with food, is based upon arbitrary assumptions, and should be treated as a perfectly groundless fancy. As natural science is still in the dark as to the formation of species, and therefore not in a condition to determine the number of pairs from which all existing species are descended, it is ridiculous to talk, as Pfaff and others do, of 2000 species of mammalia, and 6500 species of birds, which Noah would have had to feed every day.)
Gen 6:17-21
Noah was to build this ark, because God was about to bring a flood upon the earth, and would save him, with his family, and one pair of every kind of animal. מבּוּל, (the flood), is an archaic word, coined expressly for the waters of Noah (Isa 54:9), and is used nowhere else except Psa 29:10. הארץ על מים is in apposition to mabbul: "I bring the flood, waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is a living breath" (i.e., man and beast). With Noah, God made a covenant. On בּרית see Gen 15:18. As not only the human race, but the animal world also was to be preserved through Noah, he was to take with him into the ark his wife, his sons and their wives, and of every living thing, of all flesh, two of every sort, a male and a female, to keep them alive; also all kinds of food for himself and family, and for the sustenance of the beasts.
Gen 6:22
"Thus did Noah, according to all that God commanded him" (with regard to the building of the ark). Cf. Heb 11:7. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Noah was a just man - Justified before God by faith in the promised seed; for he was an heir of the righteousness which is by faith, Heb 11:7. He was sanctified, and had right principles and dispositions implanted in him: and he was righteous in his conversation, one that made conscience of rendering to all their due, to God his due, and to men theirs. And he walked with God as Enoch had done before him: in his generation, even in that corrupt degenerate age. It is easy to be religious when religion is in fashion; but it is an evidence of strong faith to swim against the stream, and to appear for God, when no one else appears for him: so Noah did, and it is upon record to his immortal honour. |
7 By faith [4102] Noah [3575], being warned of God [5537] of [4012] things not [3369] seen [991] as yet [3369], moved with fear [2125], prepared [2680] an ark [2787] to [1519] the saving [4991] of his [846] house [3624]; by [1223] the which [3739] he condemned [2632] the world [2889], and [2532] became [1096] heir [2818] of the righteousness [1343] which is by [2596] faith [4102].
2 This [5124] only [3440] would [2309] I learn [3129] of [575] you [5216], Received ye [2983] the Spirit [4151] by [1537] the works [2041] of the law [3551], or [2228] by [1537] the hearing [189] of faith [4102]?
22 Thus did [06213] Noah [05146]; according to all that God [0430] commanded [06680] him, so did [06213] he.
8 Of clean [02889] beasts [0929], and of beasts [0929] that are not clean [02889], and of fowls [05775], and of every thing that creepeth [07430] upon the earth [0127],
2 Of every clean [02889] beast [0929] thou shalt take [03947] to thee by sevens [07651] [07651], the male [0376] and his female [0802]: and of beasts [0929] that are not clean [02889] [01931] by two [08147], the male [0376] and his female [0802].
3 Of fowls [05775] also of the air [08064] by sevens [07651] [07651], the male [02145] and the female [05347]; to keep [02421] seed [02233] alive [02421] upon the face [06440] of all the earth [0776].
19 And of every living thing [02416] of all flesh [01320], two [08147] of every sort shalt thou bring [0935] into the ark [08392], to keep them alive [02421] with thee; they shall be male [02145] and female [05347].
20 Of fowls [05775] after their kind [04327], and of cattle [0929] after their kind [04327], of every creeping thing [07431] of the earth [0127] after his kind [04327], two [08147] of every sort shall come [0935] unto thee, to keep them alive [02421].
18 But with thee will I establish [06965] my covenant [01285]; and thou shalt come [0935] into [0413] the ark [08392], thou [0859], and thy sons [01121], and thy wife [0802], and thy sons [01121]' wives [0802] with thee.
19 And of every living thing [02416] of all flesh [01320], two [08147] of every sort shalt thou bring [0935] into the ark [08392], to keep them alive [02421] with thee; they shall be male [02145] and female [05347].
20 Of fowls [05775] after their kind [04327], and of cattle [0929] after their kind [04327], of every creeping thing [07431] of the earth [0127] after his kind [04327], two [08147] of every sort shall come [0935] unto thee, to keep them alive [02421].
21 And take [03947] thou unto thee of all food [03978] that is eaten [0398], and thou shalt gather [0622] it to thee; and it shall be for food [0402] for thee, and for them.
17 And, behold [02009], I [0589], even I, do bring [0935] a flood [03999] of waters [04325] upon the earth [0776], to destroy [07843] all flesh [01320], wherein is the breath [07307] of life [02416], from under [08478] heaven [08064]; and every thing [03605] that is in the earth [0776] shall die [01478].
13 And it came to pass in the six [08337] hundredth [03967] and first year [08141], in the first [07223] month, the first [0259] day of the month [02320], the waters [04325] were dried up [02717] from off the earth [0776]: and Noah [05146] removed [05493] the covering [04372] of the ark [08392], and looked [07200], and, behold, the face [06440] of the ground [0127] was dry [02717].
14 Make [06213] thee an ark [08392] of gopher [01613] wood [06086]; rooms [07064] shalt thou make [06213] in [0854] the ark [08392], and shalt pitch [03722] it within [01004] and without [02351] with pitch [03724].
15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make [06213] it of: The length [0753] of the ark [08392] shall be three [07969] hundred [03967] cubits [0520], the breadth [07341] of it fifty [02572] cubits [0520], and the height [06967] of it thirty [07970] cubits [0520].
16 A window [06672] shalt thou make [06213] to the ark [08392], and in a cubit [0520] shalt thou finish [03615] it above [04605]; and the door [06607] of the ark [08392] shalt thou set [07760] in the side thereof [06654]; with lower [08482], second [08145], and third [07992] stories shalt thou make [06213] it.
13 And God [0430] said [0559] unto Noah [05146], The end [07093] of all flesh [01320] is come [0935] before me [06440]; for the earth [0776] is filled with [04390] violence [02555] through them [06440]; and, behold, I will destroy [07843] them with [0854] the earth [0776].
18 But with thee will I establish [06965] my covenant [01285]; and thou shalt come [0935] into [0413] the ark [08392], thou [0859], and thy sons [01121], and thy wife [0802], and thy sons [01121]' wives [0802] with thee.
19 And of every living thing [02416] of all flesh [01320], two [08147] of every sort shalt thou bring [0935] into the ark [08392], to keep them alive [02421] with thee; they shall be male [02145] and female [05347].
20 Of fowls [05775] after their kind [04327], and of cattle [0929] after their kind [04327], of every creeping thing [07431] of the earth [0127] after his kind [04327], two [08147] of every sort shall come [0935] unto thee, to keep them alive [02421].
21 And take [03947] thou unto thee of all food [03978] that is eaten [0398], and thou shalt gather [0622] it to thee; and it shall be for food [0402] for thee, and for them.
17 And, behold [02009], I [0589], even I, do bring [0935] a flood [03999] of waters [04325] upon the earth [0776], to destroy [07843] all flesh [01320], wherein is the breath [07307] of life [02416], from under [08478] heaven [08064]; and every thing [03605] that is in the earth [0776] shall die [01478].
14 Make [06213] thee an ark [08392] of gopher [01613] wood [06086]; rooms [07064] shalt thou make [06213] in [0854] the ark [08392], and shalt pitch [03722] it within [01004] and without [02351] with pitch [03724].
15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make [06213] it of: The length [0753] of the ark [08392] shall be three [07969] hundred [03967] cubits [0520], the breadth [07341] of it fifty [02572] cubits [0520], and the height [06967] of it thirty [07970] cubits [0520].
16 A window [06672] shalt thou make [06213] to the ark [08392], and in a cubit [0520] shalt thou finish [03615] it above [04605]; and the door [06607] of the ark [08392] shalt thou set [07760] in the side thereof [06654]; with lower [08482], second [08145], and third [07992] stories shalt thou make [06213] it.
13 And God [0430] said [0559] unto Noah [05146], The end [07093] of all flesh [01320] is come [0935] before me [06440]; for the earth [0776] is filled with [04390] violence [02555] through them [06440]; and, behold, I will destroy [07843] them with [0854] the earth [0776].

14 Make [06213] thee an ark [08392] of gopher [01613] wood [06086]; rooms [07064] shalt thou make [06213] in [0854] the ark [08392], and shalt pitch [03722] it within [01004] and without [02351] with pitch [03724].
15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make [06213] it of: The length [0753] of the ark [08392] shall be three [07969] hundred [03967] cubits [0520], the breadth [07341] of it fifty [02572] cubits [0520], and the height [06967] of it thirty [07970] cubits [0520].
16 A window [06672] shalt thou make [06213] to the ark [08392], and in a cubit [0520] shalt thou finish [03615] it above [04605]; and the door [06607] of the ark [08392] shalt thou set [07760] in the side thereof [06654]; with lower [08482], second [08145], and third [07992] stories shalt thou make [06213] it.
17 And, behold [02009], I [0589], even I, do bring [0935] a flood [03999] of waters [04325] upon the earth [0776], to destroy [07843] all flesh [01320], wherein is the breath [07307] of life [02416], from under [08478] heaven [08064]; and every thing [03605] that is in the earth [0776] shall die [01478].
18 But with thee will I establish [06965] my covenant [01285]; and thou shalt come [0935] into [0413] the ark [08392], thou [0859], and thy sons [01121], and thy wife [0802], and thy sons [01121]' wives [0802] with thee.
19 And of every living thing [02416] of all flesh [01320], two [08147] of every sort shalt thou bring [0935] into the ark [08392], to keep them alive [02421] with thee; they shall be male [02145] and female [05347].
20 Of fowls [05775] after their kind [04327], and of cattle [0929] after their kind [04327], of every creeping thing [07431] of the earth [0127] after his kind [04327], two [08147] of every sort shall come [0935] unto thee, to keep them alive [02421].
21 And take [03947] thou unto thee of all food [03978] that is eaten [0398], and thou shalt gather [0622] it to thee; and it shall be for food [0402] for thee, and for them.
11 The earth [0776] also was corrupt [07843] before [06440] God [0430], and the earth [0776] was filled [04390] with violence [02555].
12 And God [0430] looked [07200] upon the earth [0776], and, behold, it was corrupt [07843]; for all flesh [01320] had corrupted [07843] his way [01870] upon the earth [0776].
9 These are the generations [08435] of Noah [05146]: Noah [05146] was a just [06662] man [0376] and perfect [08549] in his generations [01755], and Noah [05146] walked [01980] with God [0430].
10 And Noah [05146] begat [03205] three [07969] sons [01121], Shem [08035], Ham [02526], and Japheth [03315].
9 These are the generations [08435] of Noah [05146]: Noah [05146] was a just [06662] man [0376] and perfect [08549] in his generations [01755], and Noah [05146] walked [01980] with God [0430].
10 And Noah [05146] begat [03205] three [07969] sons [01121], Shem [08035], Ham [02526], and Japheth [03315].
11 The earth [0776] also was corrupt [07843] before [06440] God [0430], and the earth [0776] was filled [04390] with violence [02555].
12 And God [0430] looked [07200] upon the earth [0776], and, behold, it was corrupt [07843]; for all flesh [01320] had corrupted [07843] his way [01870] upon the earth [0776].
25 And Adam [0120] knew [03045] his wife [0802] again [05750]; and she bare [03205] a son [01121], and called [07121] his name [08034] Seth [08352]: For God [0430], said she, hath appointed [07896] me another [0312] seed [02233] instead [08478] of Abel [01893], whom [03588] Cain [07014] slew [02026].
1 This [02088] is the book [05612] of the generations [08435] of Adam [0121]. In the day [03117] that God [0430] created [01254] man [0120], in the likeness [01823] of God [0430] made [06213] he him;
1 Thus the heavens [08064] and the earth [0776] were finished [03615], and all the host of them [06635].
4 These [0428] are the generations [08435] of the heavens [08064] and of the earth [0776] when they were created [01254], in the day [03117] that the LORD [03068] God [0430] made [06213] the earth [0776] and the heavens [08064],
6 And it came to pass at the end [07093] of forty [0705] days [03117], that Noah [05146] opened [06605] the window [02474] of the ark [08392] which he had made [06213]:
5 And the daughter [01323] of Pharaoh [06547] came down [03381] to wash [07364] herself at the river [02975]; and her maidens [05291] walked [01980] along by the river's [02975] side [03027]; and when she saw [07200] the ark [08392] among [08432] the flags [05488], she sent [07971] her maid [0519] to fetch [03947] it.
3 And when she could [03201] not longer [05750] hide [06845] him, she took [03947] for him an ark [08392] of bulrushes [01573], and daubed [02560] it with slime [02564] and with pitch [02203], and put [07760] the child [03206] therein; and she laid [07760] it in the flags [05488] by the river's [02975] brink [08193].
14 And [2532] I said [2046] unto him [846], Sir [2962], thou [4771] knowest [1492]. And [2532] he said [2036] to me [3427], These [3778] are they [1526] which came [2064] out of [1537] great [3173] tribulation [2347], and [2532] have washed [4150] their [846] robes [4749], and [2532] made [3021] them [4749] [846] white [3021] in [1722] the blood [129] of the Lamb [721].
5 Then shall he speak [01696] unto them in his wrath [0639], and vex [0926] them in his sore displeasure [02740].
5 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; We have heard [08085] a voice [06963] of trembling [02731], of fear [06343], and not of peace [07965].
6 Ask [07592] ye now, and see [07200] whether a man [02145] doth travail with child [03205]? wherefore do I see [07200] every man [01397] with his hands [03027] on his loins [02504], as a woman in travail [03205], and all faces [06440] are turned [02015] into paleness [03420]?
7 Alas [01945]! for that day [03117] is great [01419], so that [0369] none is like it: it is even the time [06256] of Jacob's [03290] trouble [06869]; but he shall be saved [03467] out of it.
8 For it shall come to pass in that day [03117], saith [05002] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], that I will break [07665] his yoke [05923] from off thy neck [06677], and will burst [05423] thy bonds [04147], and strangers [02114] shall no more serve [05647] themselves of him:
9 But they shall serve [05647] the LORD [03068] their God [0430], and David [01732] their king [04428], whom I will raise up [06965] unto them.
21 For [1063] then [5119] shall be [2071] great [3173] tribulation [2347], such as [3634] was [1096] not [3756] since [575] the beginning [746] of the world [2889] to this [2193] time [3568], no [3761], nor ever [3364] shall be [1096].
1 And at that time [06256] shall Michael [04317] stand up [05975], the great [01419] prince [08269] which standeth [05975] for the children [01121] of thy people [05971]: and there shall be [01961] a time [06256] of trouble [06869], such as never was since there was a nation [01471] even to that same time [06256]: and at that time [06256] thy people [05971] shall be delivered [04422], every one that shall be found [04672] written [03789] in the book [05612].
10 Because [3754] thou hast kept [5083] the word [3056] of my [3450] patience [5281], I also [2504] will keep [5083] thee [4571] from [1537] the hour [5610] of temptation [3986], which [3588] shall come [3195] [2064] upon [1909] all [3650] the world [3625], to try [3985] them that dwell [2730] upon [1909] the earth [1093].
14 For [1063] if [1487] we believe [4100] that [3754] Jesus [2424] died [599] and [2532] rose again [450], even so [3779] them also [2532] which sleep [2837] in [1223] Jesus [2424] will [71] God [2316] bring [71] with [4862] him [846].
15 For [1063] this [5124] we say [3004] unto you [5213] by [1722] the word [3056] of the Lord [2962], that [3754] we [2249] which [3588] are alive [2198] and remain [4035] unto [1519] the coming [3952] of the Lord [2962] shall [5348] not [3364] prevent [5348] them which [3588] are asleep [2837].
16 For [3754] the Lord [2962] himself [846] shall descend [2597] from [575] heaven [3772] with [1722] a shout [2752], with [1722] the voice [5456] of the archangel [743], and [2532] with [1722] the trump [4536] of God [2316]: and [2532] the dead [3498] in [1722] Christ [5547] shall rise [450] first [4412]:
17 Then [1899] we [2249] which [3588] are alive [2198] and remain [4035] shall be caught up [726] together [260] with [4862] them [846] in [1722] the clouds [3507], to [1519] meet [529] the Lord [2962] in [1519] the air [109]: and [2532] so [3779] shall we [2071] ever [3842] be [2071] with [4862] the Lord [2962].
5 By faith [4102] Enoch [1802] was translated [3346] that he should [1492] not [3361] see [1492] death [2288]; and [2532] was [2147] not [3756] found [2147], because [1360] God [2316] had translated [3346] him [846]: for [1063] before [4253] his [846] translation [3331] he had this testimony [3140], that he pleased [2100] God [2316].
9 These are the generations [08435] of Noah [05146]: Noah [05146] was a just [06662] man [0376] and perfect [08549] in his generations [01755], and Noah [05146] walked [01980] with God [0430].
24 And Enoch [02585] walked [01980] with God [0430]: and he was not; for God [0430] took [03947] him.
7 By faith [4102] Noah [3575], being warned of God [5537] of [4012] things not [3369] seen [991] as yet [3369], moved with fear [2125], prepared [2680] an ark [2787] to [1519] the saving [4991] of his [846] house [3624]; by [1223] the which [3739] he condemned [2632] the world [2889], and [2532] became [1096] heir [2818] of the righteousness [1343] which is by [2596] faith [4102].
22 Thus did [06213] Noah [05146]; according to all that God [0430] commanded [06680] him, so did [06213] he.
18 In the same [01931] day [03117] the LORD [03068] made [03772] a covenant [01285] with Abram [087], saying [0559], Unto thy seed [02233] have I given [05414] this land [0776], from the river [05104] of Egypt [04714] unto the great [01419] river [05104], the river [05104] Euphrates [06578]:
10 The LORD [03068] sitteth [03427] upon the flood [03999]; yea, the LORD [03068] sitteth [03427] King [04428] for ever [05769].
9 For this is as the waters [04325] of Noah [05146] unto me: for as I have sworn [07650] that the waters [04325] of Noah [05146] should no more go over [05674] the earth [0776]; so have I sworn [07650] that I would not be wroth [07107] with thee, nor rebuke [01605] thee.
17 And, behold [02009], I [0589], even I, do bring [0935] a flood [03999] of waters [04325] upon the earth [0776], to destroy [07843] all flesh [01320], wherein is the breath [07307] of life [02416], from under [08478] heaven [08064]; and every thing [03605] that is in the earth [0776] shall die [01478].
18 But with thee will I establish [06965] my covenant [01285]; and thou shalt come [0935] into [0413] the ark [08392], thou [0859], and thy sons [01121], and thy wife [0802], and thy sons [01121]' wives [0802] with thee.
19 And of every living thing [02416] of all flesh [01320], two [08147] of every sort shalt thou bring [0935] into the ark [08392], to keep them alive [02421] with thee; they shall be male [02145] and female [05347].
20 Of fowls [05775] after their kind [04327], and of cattle [0929] after their kind [04327], of every creeping thing [07431] of the earth [0127] after his kind [04327], two [08147] of every sort shall come [0935] unto thee, to keep them alive [02421].
21 And take [03947] thou unto thee of all food [03978] that is eaten [0398], and thou shalt gather [0622] it to thee; and it shall be for food [0402] for thee, and for them.
6 And it came to pass at the end [07093] of forty [0705] days [03117], that Noah [05146] opened [06605] the window [02474] of the ark [08392] which he had made [06213]:
16 A window [06672] shalt thou make [06213] to the ark [08392], and in a cubit [0520] shalt thou finish [03615] it above [04605]; and the door [06607] of the ark [08392] shalt thou set [07760] in the side thereof [06654]; with lower [08482], second [08145], and third [07992] stories shalt thou make [06213] it.
11 For only Og [05747] king [04428] of Bashan [01316] remained [07604] of the remnant [03499] of giants [07497]; behold, his bedstead [06210] was a bedstead [06210] of iron [01270]; is it not [03808] in Rabbath [07237] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983]? nine [08672] cubits [0520] was the length [0753] thereof, and four [0702] cubits [0520] the breadth [07341] of it, after the cubit [0520] of a man [0376].
5 And the daughter [01323] of Pharaoh [06547] came down [03381] to wash [07364] herself at the river [02975]; and her maidens [05291] walked [01980] along by the river's [02975] side [03027]; and when she saw [07200] the ark [08392] among [08432] the flags [05488], she sent [07971] her maid [0519] to fetch [03947] it.
3 And when she could [03201] not longer [05750] hide [06845] him, she took [03947] for him an ark [08392] of bulrushes [01573], and daubed [02560] it with slime [02564] and with pitch [02203], and put [07760] the child [03206] therein; and she laid [07760] it in the flags [05488] by the river's [02975] brink [08193].
14 Make [06213] thee an ark [08392] of gopher [01613] wood [06086]; rooms [07064] shalt thou make [06213] in [0854] the ark [08392], and shalt pitch [03722] it within [01004] and without [02351] with pitch [03724].
15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make [06213] it of: The length [0753] of the ark [08392] shall be three [07969] hundred [03967] cubits [0520], the breadth [07341] of it fifty [02572] cubits [0520], and the height [06967] of it thirty [07970] cubits [0520].
11 On that day [03117] the number [04557] of those that were slain [02026] in Shushan [07800] the palace [01002] was brought [0935] before [06440] the king [04428].
9 Now therefore, behold, the cry [06818] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] is come [0935] unto me: and I have also seen [07200] the oppression [03906] wherewith the Egyptians [04714] oppress [03905] them.
21 I will go down [03381] now, and see [07200] whether they have done [06213] altogether [03617] according to the cry [06818] of it, which is come [0935] unto me; and if not, I will know [03045].
13 And God [0430] said [0559] unto Noah [05146], The end [07093] of all flesh [01320] is come [0935] before me [06440]; for the earth [0776] is filled with [04390] violence [02555] through them [06440]; and, behold, I will destroy [07843] them with [0854] the earth [0776].
19 And of every living thing [02416] of all flesh [01320], two [08147] of every sort shalt thou bring [0935] into the ark [08392], to keep them alive [02421] with thee; they shall be male [02145] and female [05347].
17 And, behold [02009], I [0589], even I, do bring [0935] a flood [03999] of waters [04325] upon the earth [0776], to destroy [07843] all flesh [01320], wherein is the breath [07307] of life [02416], from under [08478] heaven [08064]; and every thing [03605] that is in the earth [0776] shall die [01478].
13 And God [0430] said [0559] unto Noah [05146], The end [07093] of all flesh [01320] is come [0935] before me [06440]; for the earth [0776] is filled with [04390] violence [02555] through them [06440]; and, behold, I will destroy [07843] them with [0854] the earth [0776].
12 And God [0430] looked [07200] upon the earth [0776], and, behold, it was corrupt [07843]; for all flesh [01320] had corrupted [07843] his way [01870] upon the earth [0776].
3 And the LORD [03068] said [0559], My spirit [07307] shall not always [05769] strive [01777] with man [0120], for that he also [01571] [07683] is flesh [01320]: yet his days [03117] shall be an hundred [03967] and twenty [06242] years [08141].
9 These are the generations [08435] of Noah [05146]: Noah [05146] was a just [06662] man [0376] and perfect [08549] in his generations [01755], and Noah [05146] walked [01980] with God [0430].
10 And Noah [05146] begat [03205] three [07969] sons [01121], Shem [08035], Ham [02526], and Japheth [03315].
11 The earth [0776] also was corrupt [07843] before [06440] God [0430], and the earth [0776] was filled [04390] with violence [02555].
12 And God [0430] looked [07200] upon the earth [0776], and, behold, it was corrupt [07843]; for all flesh [01320] had corrupted [07843] his way [01870] upon the earth [0776].
10 And Noah [05146] begat [03205] three [07969] sons [01121], Shem [08035], Ham [02526], and Japheth [03315].
11 The earth [0776] also was corrupt [07843] before [06440] God [0430], and the earth [0776] was filled [04390] with violence [02555].
12 And God [0430] looked [07200] upon the earth [0776], and, behold, it was corrupt [07843]; for all flesh [01320] had corrupted [07843] his way [01870] upon the earth [0776].
22 And Enoch [02585] walked [01980] with [0854] God [0430] after [0310] he begat [03205] [0853] Methuselah [04968] three [07969] hundred [03967] years [08141], and begat [03205] sons [01121] and daughters [01323]:
9 These are the generations [08435] of Noah [05146]: Noah [05146] was a just [06662] man [0376] and perfect [08549] in his generations [01755], and Noah [05146] walked [01980] with God [0430].
13 And God [0430] said [0559] unto Noah [05146], The end [07093] of all flesh [01320] is come [0935] before me [06440]; for the earth [0776] is filled with [04390] violence [02555] through them [06440]; and, behold, I will destroy [07843] them with [0854] the earth [0776].
14 Make [06213] thee an ark [08392] of gopher [01613] wood [06086]; rooms [07064] shalt thou make [06213] in [0854] the ark [08392], and shalt pitch [03722] it within [01004] and without [02351] with pitch [03724].
15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make [06213] it of: The length [0753] of the ark [08392] shall be three [07969] hundred [03967] cubits [0520], the breadth [07341] of it fifty [02572] cubits [0520], and the height [06967] of it thirty [07970] cubits [0520].
16 A window [06672] shalt thou make [06213] to the ark [08392], and in a cubit [0520] shalt thou finish [03615] it above [04605]; and the door [06607] of the ark [08392] shalt thou set [07760] in the side thereof [06654]; with lower [08482], second [08145], and third [07992] stories shalt thou make [06213] it.
17 And, behold [02009], I [0589], even I, do bring [0935] a flood [03999] of waters [04325] upon the earth [0776], to destroy [07843] all flesh [01320], wherein is the breath [07307] of life [02416], from under [08478] heaven [08064]; and every thing [03605] that is in the earth [0776] shall die [01478].
18 But with thee will I establish [06965] my covenant [01285]; and thou shalt come [0935] into [0413] the ark [08392], thou [0859], and thy sons [01121], and thy wife [0802], and thy sons [01121]' wives [0802] with thee.
19 And of every living thing [02416] of all flesh [01320], two [08147] of every sort shalt thou bring [0935] into the ark [08392], to keep them alive [02421] with thee; they shall be male [02145] and female [05347].
20 Of fowls [05775] after their kind [04327], and of cattle [0929] after their kind [04327], of every creeping thing [07431] of the earth [0127] after his kind [04327], two [08147] of every sort shall come [0935] unto thee, to keep them alive [02421].
21 And take [03947] thou unto thee of all food [03978] that is eaten [0398], and thou shalt gather [0622] it to thee; and it shall be for food [0402] for thee, and for them.
22 Thus did [06213] Noah [05146]; according to all that God [0430] commanded [06680] him, so did [06213] he.
9 These are the generations [08435] of Noah [05146]: Noah [05146] was a just [06662] man [0376] and perfect [08549] in his generations [01755], and Noah [05146] walked [01980] with God [0430].
10 And Noah [05146] begat [03205] three [07969] sons [01121], Shem [08035], Ham [02526], and Japheth [03315].
11 The earth [0776] also was corrupt [07843] before [06440] God [0430], and the earth [0776] was filled [04390] with violence [02555].
12 And God [0430] looked [07200] upon the earth [0776], and, behold, it was corrupt [07843]; for all flesh [01320] had corrupted [07843] his way [01870] upon the earth [0776].
7 By faith [4102] Noah [3575], being warned of God [5537] of [4012] things not [3369] seen [991] as yet [3369], moved with fear [2125], prepared [2680] an ark [2787] to [1519] the saving [4991] of his [846] house [3624]; by [1223] the which [3739] he condemned [2632] the world [2889], and [2532] became [1096] heir [2818] of the righteousness [1343] which is by [2596] faith [4102].
