Bible (KJV) 01-03: Genesis, Exodus and Leviticus

01:007:001 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. 01:007:002 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. 01:007:003 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. 01:007:004 For yet seven days, and 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. 01:007:005 And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him. 01:007:006 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. 01:007:007 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. 01:007:008 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth, 01:007:009 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah. 01:007:010 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. 01:007:011 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. 01:007:012 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. 01:007:013 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; 01:007:014 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. 01:007:015 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. 01:007:016 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in. 01:007:017 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. 01:007:018 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. 01:007:019 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. 01:007:020 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. 01:007:021 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: 01:007:022 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. 01:007:023 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. 01:007:024 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days. 01:008:001 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; 01:008:002 The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained; 01:008:003 And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated. 01:008:004 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat. 01:008:005 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. 01:008:006 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made: 01:008:007 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. 01:008:008 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground; 01:008:009 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. 01:008:010 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark; 01:008:011 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. 01:008:012 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more. 01:008:013 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. 01:008:014 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried. 01:008:015 And God spake unto Noah, saying, 01:008:016 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee. 01:008:017 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. 01:008:018 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him: 01:008:019 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark. 01:008:020 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. 01:008:021 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. 01:008:022 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. 01:009:001 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. 01:009:002 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. 01:009:003 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. 01:009:004 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. 01:009:005 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. 01:009:006 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. 01:009:007 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein. 01:009:008 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, 01:009:009 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you; 01:009:010 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. 01:009:011 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. 01:009:012 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: 01:009:013 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. 01:009:014 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: 01:009:015 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. 01:009:016 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. 01:009:017 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. 01:009:018 And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan. 01:009:019 These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread. 01:009:020 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: 01:009:021 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. 01:009:022 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. 01:009:023 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness. 01:009:024 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. 01:009:025 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. 01:009:026 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. 01:009:027 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. 01:009:028 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. 01:009:029 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died. 01:010:001 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. 01:010:002 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 01:010:003 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. 01:010:004 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 01:010:005 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. 01:010:006 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. 01:010:007 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. 01:010:008 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. 01:010:009 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. 01:010:010 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 01:010:011 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, 01:010:012 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city. 01:010:013 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, 01:010:014 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim. 01:010:015 And Canaan begat Sidon his first born, and Heth, 01:010:016 And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite, 01:010:017 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, 01:010:018 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. 01:010:019 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha. 01:010:020 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations. 01:010:021 Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born. 01:010:022 The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. 01:010:023 And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. 01:010:024 And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber. 01:010:025 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan. 01:010:026 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, 01:010:027 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, 01:010:028 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, 01:010:029 And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan. 01:010:030 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east. 01:010:031 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations. 01:010:032 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood. 01:011:001 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. 01:011:002 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. 01:011:003 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. 01:011:004 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 01:011:005 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 01:011:006 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 01:011:007 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. 01:011:008 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 01:011:009 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. 01:011:010 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood: 01:011:011 And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. 01:011:012 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah: 01:011:013 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. 01:011:014 And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber: 01:011:015 And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. 01:011:016 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg: 01:011:017 And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters. 01:011:018 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu: 01:011:019 And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters. 01:011:020 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug: 01:011:021 And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters. 01:011:022 And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor: 01:011:023 And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. 01:011:024 And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah: 01:011:025 And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters. 01:011:026 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran. 01:011:027 Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot. 01:011:028 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees. 01:011:029 And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah. 01:011:030 But Sarai was barren; she had no child. 01:011:031 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there. 01:011:032 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran. 01:012:001 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 01:012:002 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 01:012:003 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. 01:012:004 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran. 01:012:005 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came. 01:012:006 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land. 01:012:007 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him. 01:012:008 And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD. 01:012:009 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south. 01:012:010 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land. 01:012:011 And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon: 01:012:012 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive. 01:012:013 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee. 01:012:014 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair. 01:012:015 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house. 01:012:016 And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels. 01:012:017 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife. 01:012:018 And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife? 01:012:019 Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way. 01:012:020 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had. <div style="break-after:column;"></div>
