And Zillah also bare Tubal-kain, who wrought cunningly euery craft of brasse and of yron: and the sister of Tubal-kain was Naamah.

Then Lamech saide vnto his wiues Adah and Zillah, Heare my voyce, ye wiues of Lamech: hearken vnto my speach: for I would slay a man in my wound, and a yong man in mine hurt.

If Kain shalbe auenged seuen folde, truely Lamech, seuentie times seuen folde.

And Adam knewe his wife againe, and she bare a sonne, and she called his name Sheth: for God, saide she, hath appointed me another seede for Habel, because Kain slewe him.

So when men began to be multiplied vpon the earth, and there were daughters borne vnto them,

Then the sonnes of God sawe the daughters of men that they were faire, and they tooke them wiues of all that they liked.

Therefore the Lord saide, My Spirit shall not alway striue with man, because he is but flesh, and his dayes shalbe an hundreth and twentie yeeres.

There were gyants in the earth in those dayes: yea, and after that the sonnes of God came vnto the daughters of men, and they had borne them children, these were mightie men, which in olde time were men of renoume.

When the Lord sawe that the wickednesse of man was great in the earth, and all the imaginations of the thoughtes of his heart were onely euill continually,

Then it repented ye Lord, that he had made man in the earth, and he was sorie in his heart.

Therefore ye Lord said, I will destroy from the earth the man, whom I haue created, from man to beast, to the creeping thing, and to the foule of the heauen: for I repent that I haue made them.

But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a iust and vpright man in his time: and Noah walked with God.

And Noah begate three sonnes, Shem, Ham and Iapheth.

The earth also was corrupt before God: for the earth was filled with crueltie.

Then God looked vpon the earth, and beholde, it was corrupt: for all flesh had corrupt his way vpon the earth.

And God said vnto Noah, An ende of all flesh is come before me: for the earth is filled with crueltie through them: and beholde, I wil destroy them with the earth.

Make thee an Arke of pine trees: thou shalt make cabines in the Arke, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

And thus shalt thou make it: The length of the Arke shalbe three hundreth cubites, the breadth of it fiftie cubites, and the height of it thirtie cubites.

A windowe shalt thou make in the Arke, and in a cubite shalt thou finish it aboue, and the doore of the Arke shalt thou set in the side thereof: thou shalt make it with the lowe, seconde and third roume.

And I, beholde, I will bring a flood of waters vpon the earth to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life vnder the heauen: all that is in the earth shall perish.

But with thee will I establish my couenant, and thou shalt goe into the Arke, thou, and thy sonnes, and thy wife, and thy sonnes wiues with thee.

And of euery liuing thing, of all flesh two of euery sort shalt thou cause to come into the Arke, to keepe them aliue with thee: they shalbe male and female.

Of the foules, after their kinde, and of the cattell after their kind, of euery creeping thing of the earth after his kinde, two of euery sort shall come vnto thee, that thou mayest keepe them aliue.

And take thou with thee of all meate that is eaten: and thou shalt gather it to thee, that it may be meate for thee and for them.

Noah therefore did according vnto all, that God commanded him: euen so did he.

And the Lord said vnto Noah, Enter thou and all thine house into the Arke: for thee haue I seene righteous before me in this age.

Of euery cleane beast thou shalt take to thee by seuens, the male and his female: but of vncleane beastes by couples, the male and his female.

Of the foules also of the heauen by seuens, male and female, to keepe seede aliue vpon the whole earth.

For seuen dayes hence I will cause it raine vpon the earth fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes, and all the substance that I haue made, will I destroy from off the earth.

Noah therefore did according vnto all that the Lord commanded him.

And Noah was sixe hundreth yeeres olde, when the flood of waters was vpon the earth.

So Noah entred and his sonnes, and his wife, and his sonnes wiues with him into the Arke, because of the waters of the flood.

Of the cleane beastes, and of the vncleane beastes, and of the foules, and of all that creepeth vpon the earth,

There came two and two vnto Noah into the Arke, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.

And so after seuen dayes the waters of the flood were vpon the earth.

In the sixe hundreth yeere of Noahs life in the second moneth, the seuetenth day of the moneth, in the same day were all the fountaines of the great deepe broken vp, and the windowes of heauen were opened,

And the raine was vpon the earth fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes.

In the selfe same day entred Noah with Shem, and Ham and Iapheth, the sonnes of Noah, and Noahs wife, and the three wiues of his sonnes with them into the Arke.

They and euery beast after his kinde, and all cattell after their kinde, and euery thing that creepeth and moueth vpon the earth after his kinde, and euery foule after his kinde, euen euery bird of euery fether.

For they came to Noah into ye Arke, two and two, of all flesh wherein is ye breath of life.

And they entring in, came male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in.

Then ye flood was fourtie dayes vpon the earth, and the waters were increased, and bare vp the Arke, which was lift vp aboue the earth.

The waters also waxed strong, and were increased exceedingly vpon the earth, and the Arke went vpon the waters.

The waters preuailed so exceedingly vpon the earth, that all the high mountaines, that are vnder the whole heauen, were couered.

Fifteene cubites vpwarde did the waters preuaile, when the mountaines were couered.

Then all flesh perished that moued vpon the earth, both foule and cattell and beast, and euery thing that creepeth and moueth vpon the earth, and euery man.

Euery thing in whose nostrels the spirit of life did breathe, whatsoeuer they were in the drie land, they died.

So he destroyed euery thing that was vpon the earth, from man to beast, to ye creeping thing, and to the foule of the heauen: they were euen destroyed from the earth. And Noah onely remained; and they that were with him in ye Arke.

And the waters preuailed vpon the earth an hundreth and fiftie dayes.

Now God remembred Noah and euery beast, and all the cattell that was with him in the Arke: therefore God made a winde to passe vpon the earth, and the waters ceased.

The fountaines also of the deepe and the windowes of heauen were stopped and the raine from heauen was restrained,

And the waters returned from aboue the earth, going and returning: and after the ende of the hundreth and fiftieth day the waters abated.

And in the seuenth moneth, in the seuenteenth day of the moneth, the Arke rested vpon the mountaines of Ararat.

And the waters were going and decreasing vntill the tenth moneth: in the tenth moneth, and in the first day of the moneth were the toppes of the mountaines seene.

So after fourtie dayes, Noah opened the windowe of the Arke, which he had made,

And sent forth a rauen, which went out going forth and returning, vntill the waters were dried vp vpon the earth.

Againe he sent a doue from him, that he might see if the waters were diminished from off the earth.

But the doue found no rest for the sole of her foote: therefore she returned vnto him into the Arke (for the waters were vpon the whole earth) and he put forth his hand, and receiued her, and tooke her to him into the Arke.

And he abode yet other seuen dayes, and againe he sent forth the doue out of the Arke.

And the doue came to him in ye euening, and loe, in her mouth was an oliue leafe that she had pluckt: whereby Noah knewe that the waters were abated from off the earth.

Notwithstanding he wayted yet other seuen dayes, and sent forth the doue, which returned not againe vnto him any more.

And in the sixe hundreth and one yeere, in the first day of the first moneth the waters were dryed vp from off the earth: and Noah remoued the couering of the Arke and looked, and beholde, the vpper part of the ground was drie.

And in the second moneth, in the seuen and twentieth day of the moneth was the earth drie.

Then God spake to Noah, saying,

Goe forth of the Arke, thou and thy wife, and thy sonnes and thy sonnes wiues with thee.
