NOAH’S ARK
It came to pass a long time ago, that floods of
water covered the earth to wash it clean of all that
was not pure. But Noah was a just man and
good above all men; so God spoke to him to save
him from the flood.
God said unto Noah, ”Make thee an ark of wood
that will float upon the waters, and thou shalt
come into the ark; thou and thy sons, and thy
wife and thy sons* wives with thee. And of every
living thing, of birds, and beasts, and every creep-
ing thing that creepeth on the earth, two of every
sort shalt thou bring into the ark to keep them
alive with thee.’*
And Noah did according unto all that God
commanded him. He builded the ark and went
into it, he and his sons and his wife and his sons’
wives with him. Of beasts and birds and every
creeping thing that creepeth on the earth, there
went in unto Noah two of every sort.
And it came to pass after seven days, that the
waters of the flood were upon the earth, and the
rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
And the waters bare up the ark and it was Hfted
up above the earth and floated upon the face of
the waters. All the high hills were covered and the
mountains were covered till all that was not good
was washed away.
Noah only remained upon the earth and they
that were with him in the ark. And the waters
lasted an hundred and fifty days. But God
remembered Noah and made a wind to pass over
the earth so the waters rose no more. Then the
ark rested upon a mountain.
At the end of forty days Noah opened the win-
dow of the ark and sent forth a raven. Also he
sent forth a dove to see if the waters were off the
face of the ground. But the dove found no place
to rest her feet, for the waters were still on the
face of the whole earth and she returned unto him.
And he stayed yet another 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 oHve leaf that she had plucked.
So Noah knew the waters were sunk down beneath
the treetops. And he stayed yet another seven
days and sent forth the dove, which returned not
again unto him any more, for the waters were dried
up from off the earth. Then Noah removed the
covering of the ark and looked, and behold, the
face of the ground was dry.
And God spake unto Noah, saying, *’Go forth
out of the ark, thou and thy wife and thy sons and
thy sons’ wives with thee. Bring forth with thee
every living thing, of birds and of beasts and of
every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.*’
And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife,
and his sons’ wives with him. Every beast, every
bird, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon
the earth went forth out of the ark.
And Noah offered thanks unto God because God
had saved them from the flood. And God blessed
Noah and his sons and bade them do good con-
tinually. And God set in the sky the rainbow to be
for an everlasting sign that unto those who do good
his mercy and loving-kindness shall last forever.
