Genesis 7-9

Noah and the Flood

[1] Then Yahweh said to Noah, "Enter the ark, you and all your household, for you [alone] I have seen [to be] righteous before Me in this generation. [Gen 7:1 LSB]

[2] "You shall take with you of every clean animal by sevens, a male and his female; and of the animals that are not clean, two, a male and his female; [3] also of the birds of the sky, by sevens, male and female, to keep [their] seed alive on the face of all the earth. [Gen 7:2-3 LSB]

[16] And those that entered, male and female of all flesh, entered as God had commanded him; and Yahweh closed [it] behind him. [Gen 7:16 LSB]

[23] Thus He blotted out every living thing that was upon the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky, and they were blotted out from the earth; and only Noah remained, and those that were with him in the ark. [Gen 7:23 LSB]

The Water Dries Up

[1] Then God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the water subsided. [Gen 8:1 LSB]

[4] In the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat. [Gen 8:4 LSB]

[15] Then God spoke to Noah, saying, [16] "Go out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and your sons' wives with you. [Gen 8:15-16 LSB]

Chronology of Noah's Time in the Ark

Yahweh’s Covenant with Noah

[21] And Yahweh smelled the soothing aroma; and Yahweh said to Himself, "I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the intent of man's heart is evil from his youth; and I will never again strike down every living thing as I have done. [22] "While all the days of the earth [remain], Seedtime and harvest, And cold and heat, And summer and winter, And day and night Shall not cease." [Gen 8:21-22 LSB]
