Book
of Genesis,
* Noah's Ark - chapter 6
[5 - 7]
And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that
every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved
him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have
created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping
thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made
them.
[8 - 10]
But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. These are the generations
of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah
walked with God. And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
[13 - 16]
And God said unto Noah... Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt
thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: * the length of
the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits,
and the height of it thirty cubits. A window shalt thou make to the
ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the
ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third
stories shalt thou make it.
[17 - 18]
And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to
destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven;
and every thing that is in the earth shall die. But with thee will I
establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy
sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
[19 - 21]
And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou
bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male
and female. Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind,
of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort
shall come unto thee, to keep them alive. And take thou unto thee of
all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall
be for food for thee, and for them.
[22] Thus
did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
The Flood - chapter 7
[1] And
the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for
thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
[2 - 3]
Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and
his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his
female. Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female;
to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
[4] For
yet seven days, I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and
forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy
from off the face of the earth.
[5 - 7]
And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him. And Noah
was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
And Noah went in and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with
him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
[8- 9]
Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and
of every thing that creepeth upon the earth, there went in two and two
unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded
Noah.
[10 - 12]
And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were
upon the earth. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second
month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains
of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
[13 - 16]
In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the
sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with
them, into the ark; They, and every beast after his kind, and all the
cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon
the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird
of every sort. And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two
of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. And they that went in,
went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and
the LORD shut him in.
[17 - 20]
And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased,
and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth. And the waters
prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went
upon the face of the waters. And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon
the earth; and all the high hills that were under the whole heaven were
covered. Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains
were covered.
[21 - 23]
And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle,
and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth,
and every man: All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all
that was in the dry land, died. And every living substance was destroyed
which was upon the face of the ground, both man and cattle, and the
creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed
from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with
him in the ark.
[24] And
the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
And
God Said...
The Mountains of Ararat and The Dove - chapter 8
[1 - 3]
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; The fountains also of the deep and the windows
of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained; 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 - 7]
And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window
of the ark which he had made: And he sent forth a raven, which went
forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
[8 - 9]
Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated
from off the face of the ground; 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 - 12]
And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove
out of the ark; 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. And he stayed yet other seven days;
and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
[13 - 14]
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. And in the second month, on
the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
[15 - 17]
And God spake unto Noah, saying, Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy
wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee. 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: Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever
creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
[20 - 22]
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. 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. While the earth remaineth,
seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and
day and night shall not cease.
God's covenant and The Rainbow - chapter 9
[1] And
God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and
multiply, and replenish the earth.
[8 - 10]
And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, and I, behold,
I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you; 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 - 15]
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: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token
of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when
I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
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.

* the
length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty
cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. (450 feet long, 75 feet
wide and 45 feet high)

the King James Bible. I have left out some passages dealing with the
genealogy of Noah to focus more on the Noah's Ark story. I would encourage
you to read your Bible for the complete story of Noah.
