Gen.7.1

Next GOD said to Noah, "Now board the ship, you and all your family--out of everyone in this generation, you're the righteous one.

Gen.7.1

The LORD then said to Noah, "Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation.

Gen.7.1

Then the LORD said to Noah, "Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation.

Gen.7.1

Finally, the day came when the LORD said to Noah, "Go into the boat with all your family, for among all the people of the earth, I consider you alone to be righteous.

Gen.7.2

"Take on board with you seven pairs of every clean animal, a male and a female; one pair of every unclean animal, a male and a female;

Gen.7.2

Take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate,

Gen.7.2

You shall take with you seven each of every clean animal, a male and his female; two each of animals that are unclean, a male and his female;

Gen.7.2

Take along seven pairs of each animal that I have approved for eating and for sacrifice, and take one pair of each of the others.

Gen.7.3

and seven pairs of every kind of bird, a male and a female, to insure their survival on Earth.

Gen.7.3

and also seven of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth.

Gen.7.3

also seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep the species alive on the face of all the earth.

Gen.7.3

Then select seven pairs of every kind of bird. There must be a male and a female in each pair to ensure that every kind of living creature will survive the flood.

Gen.7.4

In just seven days I will dump rain on Earth for forty days and forty nights. I'll make a clean sweep of everything that I've made."

Gen.7.4

Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made."

Gen.7.4

For after seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will destroy from the face of the earth all living things that I have made."

Gen.7.4

One week from today I will begin forty days and forty nights of rain. And I will wipe from the earth all the living things I have created."

Gen.7.5

Noah did everything GOD commanded him.

Gen.7.5

And Noah did all that the LORD commanded him.

Gen.7.5

And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him.

Gen.7.5

So Noah did exactly as the LORD had commanded him.

Gen.7.6

Noah was 600 years old when the floodwaters covered the Earth.

Gen.7.6

Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters came on the earth.

Gen.7.6

Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters were on the earth.

Gen.7.6

He was 600 years old when the flood came,

Gen.7.7

Noah and his wife and sons and their wives boarded the ship to escape the flood.

Gen.7.7

And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood.

Gen.7.7

So Noah, with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives, went into the ark because of the waters of the flood.

Gen.7.7

and he went aboard the boat to escape--he and his wife and his sons and their wives.

Gen.7.8

Clean and unclean animals, birds, and all the crawling creatures

Gen.7.8

Pairs of clean and unclean animals, of birds and of all creatures that move along the ground,

Gen.7.8

Of clean animals, of animals that are unclean, of birds, and of everything that creeps on the earth,

Gen.7.8

With them were all the various kinds of animals--those approved for eating and sacrifice and those that were not--along with all the birds and other small animals.

Gen.7.9

came in pairs to Noah and to the ship, male and female, just as God had commanded Noah.

Gen.7.9

male and female, came to Noah and entered the ark, as God had commanded Noah.

Gen.7.9

two by two they went into the ark to Noah, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.

Gen.7.9

They came into the boat in pairs, male and female, just as God had commanded Noah.

Gen.7.10

In seven days the floodwaters came.

Gen.7.10

And after the seven days the floodwaters came on the earth.

Gen.7.10

And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were on the earth.

Gen.7.10

One week later, the flood came and covered the earth.

Gen.7.11

It was the six-hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month that it happened: all the underground springs erupted and all the windows of Heaven were thrown open.

Gen.7.11

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, on the seventeenth day of the second month-on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.

Gen.7.11

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

Gen.7.11

When Noah was 600 years old, on the seventeenth day of the second month, the underground waters burst forth on the earth, and the rain fell in mighty torrents from the sky.

Gen.7.12

Rain poured for forty days and forty nights.

Gen.7.12

And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.

Gen.7.12

And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.

Gen.7.12

The rain continued to fall for forty days and forty nights.

Gen.7.13

That's the day Noah and his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, accompanied by his wife and his sons' wives, boarded the ship.

Gen.7.13

On that very day Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark.

Gen.7.13

On the very same day Noah and Noah's sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark--

Gen.7.13

But Noah had gone into the boat that very day with his wife and his sons--Shem, Ham, and Japheth--and their wives.

Gen.7.14

And with them every kind of wild and domestic animal, right down to all the kinds of creatures that crawl and all kinds of birds and anything that flies.

Gen.7.14

They had with them every wild animal according to its kind, all livestock according to their kinds, every creature that moves along the ground according to its kind and every bird according to its kind, everything with wings.

Gen.7.14

they and every beast after its kind, all cattle after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.

Gen.7.14

With them in the boat were pairs of every kind of breathing animal--domestic and wild, large and small--along with birds and flying insects of every kind.

Gen.7.15

They came to Noah and to the ship in pairs--everything and anything that had the breath of life in it,

Gen.7.15

Pairs of all creatures that have the breath of life in them came to Noah and entered the ark.

Gen.7.15

And they went into the ark to Noah, two by two, of all flesh in which is the breath of life.

Gen.7.15

Two by two they came into the boat,

Gen.7.16

male and female of every creature came just as God had commanded Noah. Then GOD shut the door behind him.

Gen.7.16

The animals going in were male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD shut him in.

Gen.7.16

So those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded him; and the LORD shut him in.

Gen.7.16

male and female, just as God had commanded. Then the LORD shut them in.

Gen.7.17

The flood continued forty days and the waters rose and lifted the ship high over the Earth.

Gen.7.17

For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the earth.

Gen.7.17

Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it rose high above the earth.

Gen.7.17

For forty days the floods prevailed, covering the ground and lifting the boat high above the earth.

Gen.7.18

The waters kept rising, the flood deepened on the Earth, the ship floated on the surface.

Gen.7.18

The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water.

Gen.7.18

The waters prevailed and greatly increased on the earth, and the ark moved about on the surface of the waters.

Gen.7.18

As the waters rose higher and higher above the ground, the boat floated safely on the surface.

Gen.7.19

The flood got worse until all the highest mountains were covered

Gen.7.19

They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered.

Gen.7.19

And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth, and all the high hills under the whole heaven were covered.

Gen.7.19

Finally, the water covered even the highest mountains on the earth,

Gen.7.20

-the high water mark reached twenty feet above the crest of the mountains.

Gen.7.20

The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than twenty feet.,

Gen.7.20

The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered.

Gen.7.20

standing more than twenty-two feet above the highest peaks.

Gen.7.21

Everything died. Anything that moved-dead. Birds, farm animals, wild animals, the entire teeming exuberance of life--dead. And all people--dead.

Gen.7.21

Every living thing that moved on the earth perished-birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind.

Gen.7.21

And all flesh died that moved on the earth: birds and cattle and beasts and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man.

Gen.7.21

All the living things on earth died--birds, domestic animals, wild animals, all kinds of small animals, and all the people.

Gen.7.22

Every living, breathing creature that lived on dry land died;

Gen.7.22

Everything on dry land that had the breath of life in its nostrils died.

Gen.7.22

All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, all that was on the dry land, died.

Gen.7.22

Everything died that breathed and lived on dry land.

Gen.7.23

he wiped out the whole works-people and animals, crawling creatures and flying birds, every last one of them, gone. Only Noah and his company on the ship lived.

Gen.7.23

Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; men and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds of the air were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark.

Gen.7.23

So He destroyed all living things which were on the face of the ground: both man and cattle, creeping thing and bird of the air. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah and those who were with him in the ark remained alive.

Gen.7.23

Every living thing on the earth was wiped out--people, animals both large and small, and birds. They were all destroyed, and only Noah was left alive, along with those who were with him in the boat.

Gen.7.24

The floodwaters took over for 150 days.

Gen.7.24

The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days.

Gen.7.24

And the waters prevailed on the earth one hundred and fifty days.

Gen.7.24

And the water covered the earth for 150 days.

Gen.8.1

Then God turned his attention to Noah and all the wild animals and farm animals with him on the ship. God caused the wind to blow and the floodwaters began to go down.

Gen.8.1

But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded.

Gen.8.1

Then God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.

Gen.8.1

But God remembered Noah and all the animals in the boat. He sent a wind to blow across the waters, and the floods began to disappear.

Gen.8.2

The underground springs were shut off, the windows of Heaven closed and the rain quit.

Gen.8.2

Now the springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens had been closed, and the rain had stopped falling from the sky.

Gen.8.2

The fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were also stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained.

Gen.8.2

The underground water sources ceased their gushing, and the torrential rains stopped.

Gen.8.3

Inch by inch the water lowered. After 150 days the worst was over.

Gen.8.3

The water receded steadily from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the water had gone down,

Gen.8.3

And the waters receded continually from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters decreased.

Gen.8.3

So the flood gradually began to recede. After 150 days,

Gen.8.4

On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ship landed on the Ararat mountain range.

Gen.8.4

and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

Gen.8.4

Then the ark rested in the seventh month, the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.

Gen.8.4

exactly five months from the time the flood began, the boat came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

Gen.8.5

The water kept going down until the tenth month. On the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains came into view.

Gen.8.5

The waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.

Gen.8.5

And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.

Gen.8.5

Two and a half months later, as the waters continued to go down, other mountain peaks began to appear.

Gen.8.6

After forty days Noah opened the window that he had built into the ship.

Gen.8.6

After forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark

Gen.8.6

So it came to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.

Gen.8.6

After another forty days, Noah opened the window he had made in the boat

Gen.8.7

He sent out a raven; it flew back and forth waiting for the floodwaters to dry up.

Gen.8.7

and sent out a raven, and it kept flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth.

Gen.8.7

Then he sent out a raven, which kept going to and fro until the waters had dried up from the earth.

Gen.8.7

and released a raven that flew back and forth until the earth was dry.

Gen.8.8

Then he sent a dove to check on the flood conditions,

Gen.8.8

Then he sent out a dove to see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground.

Gen.8.8

He also sent out from himself a dove, to see if the waters had receded from the face of the ground.

Gen.8.8

Then he sent out a dove to see if it could find dry ground.

Gen.8.9

but it couldn't even find a place to perch--water still covered the Earth. Noah reached out and caught it, brought it back into the ship.

Gen.8.9

But the dove could find no place to set its feet because there was water over all the surface of the earth; so it returned to Noah in the ark. He reached out his hand and took the dove and brought it back to himself in the ark.

Gen.8.9

But the dove found no resting place for the sole of her foot, and she returned into the ark to him, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took her, and drew her into the ark to himself.

Gen.8.9

But the dove found no place to land because the water was still too high. So it returned to the boat, and Noah held out his hand and drew the dove back inside.

Gen.8.10

He waited seven more days and sent out the dove again.

Gen.8.10

He waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark.

Gen.8.10

And he waited yet another seven days, and again he sent the dove out from the ark.

Gen.8.10

Seven days later, Noah released the dove again.

Gen.8.11

It came back in the evening with a freshly picked olive leaf in its beak. Noah knew that the flood was about finished.

Gen.8.11

When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf! Then Noah knew that the water had receded from the earth.

Gen.8.11

Then the dove came to him in the evening, and behold, a freshly plucked olive leaf was in her mouth; and Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth.

Gen.8.11

This time, toward evening, the bird returned to him with a fresh olive leaf in its beak. Noah now knew that the water was almost gone.

Gen.8.12

He waited another seven days and sent the dove out a third time. This time it didn't come back.

Gen.8.12

He waited seven more days and sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return to him.

Gen.8.12

So he waited yet another seven days and sent out the dove, which did not return again to him anymore.

Gen.8.12

A week later, he released the dove again, and this time it did not come back.

Gen.8.13

In the six-hundred-first year of Noah's life, on the first day of the first month, the flood had dried up. Noah opened the hatch of the ship and saw dry ground.

Gen.8.13

By the first day of the first month of Noah's six hundred and first year, the water had dried up from the earth. Noah then removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry.

Gen.8.13

And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, that the waters were dried up from the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and indeed the surface of the ground was dry.

Gen.8.13

Finally, when Noah was 601 years old, ten and a half months after the flood began, Noah lifted back the cover to look. The water was drying up.

Gen.8.14

By the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the Earth was completely dry.

Gen.8.14

By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was completely dry.

Gen.8.14

And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dried.

Gen.8.14

Two more months went by, and at last the earth was dry!

Gen.8.15

God spoke to Noah:

Gen.8.15

Then God said to Noah,

Gen.8.15

Then God spoke to Noah, saying,

Gen.8.15

Then God said to Noah,

Gen.8.16

"Leave the ship, you and your wife and your sons and your sons' wives.

Gen.8.16

"Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives.

Gen.8.16

"Go out of the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons' wives with you.

Gen.8.16

"Leave the boat, all of you.

Gen.8.17

And take all the animals with you, the whole menagerie of birds and mammals and crawling creatures, all that brimming prodigality of life, so they can reproduce and flourish on the Earth."

Gen.8.17

Bring out every kind of living creature that is with you-the birds, the animals, and all the creatures that move along the ground-so they can multiply on the earth and be fruitful and increase in number upon it."

Gen.8.17

Bring out with you every living thing of all flesh that is with you: birds and cattle and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, so that they may abound on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth."

Gen.8.17

Release all the animals and birds so they can breed and reproduce in great numbers."

Gen.8.18

Noah disembarked with his sons and wife and his sons' wives.

Gen.8.18

So Noah came out, together with his sons and his wife and his sons' wives.

Gen.8.18

So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him.

Gen.8.18

So Noah, his wife, and his sons and their wives left the boat.

Gen.8.19

Then all the animals, crawling creatures, birds--every creature on the face of the Earth--left the ship family by family.

Gen.8.19

All the animals and all the creatures that move along the ground and all the birds-everything that moves on the earth-came out of the ark, one kind after another.

Gen.8.19

Every animal, every creeping thing, every bird, and whatever creeps on the earth, according to their families, went out of the ark.

Gen.8.19

And all the various kinds of animals and birds came out, pair by pair.

Gen.8.20

Noah built an altar to GOD. He selected clean animals and birds from every species and offered them as burnt-offerings on the altar.

Gen.8.20

Then Noah built an altar to the LORD and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it.

Gen.8.20

Then Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

Gen.8.20

Then Noah built an altar to the LORD and sacrificed on it the animals and birds that had been approved for that purpose.

Gen.8.21

GOD smelled the sweet fragrance and thought to himself, "I'll never again curse the ground because of people. I know they have this bent toward evil from an early age, but I'll never again kill off everything living as I've just done.

Gen.8.21

The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: "Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done.

Gen.8.21

And the LORD smelled a soothing aroma. Then the LORD said in His heart, "I will never again curse the ground for man's sake, although the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done.

Gen.8.21

And the LORD was pleased with the sacrifice and said to himself, "I will never again curse the earth, destroying all living things, even though people's thoughts and actions are bent toward evil from childhood.

Gen.8.22

For as long as Earth lasts, planting and harvest, cold and heat, Summer and winter, day and night will never stop."

Gen.8.22

"As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease."

Gen.8.22

"While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and night Shall not cease."

Gen.8.22

As long as the earth remains, there will be springtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, day and night."

Gen.9.1

God blessed Noah and his sons: He said, "Prosper! Reproduce! Fill the Earth!

Gen.9.1

Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth.

Gen.9.1

So God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them: "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.

Gen.9.1

God blessed Noah and his sons and told them, "Multiply and fill the earth.

Gen.9.2

Every living creature--birds, animals, fish--will fall under your spell and be afraid of you. You're responsible for them.

Gen.9.2

The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands.

Gen.9.2

And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be on every beast of the earth, on every bird of the air, on all that move on the earth, and on all the fish of the sea. They are given into your hand.

Gen.9.2

All the wild animals, large and small, and all the birds and fish will be afraid of you. I have placed them in your power.

Gen.9.3

All living creatures are yours for food; just as I gave you the plants, now I give you everything else.

Gen.9.3

Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.

Gen.9.3

Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herbs.

Gen.9.3

I have given them to you for food, just as I have given you grain and vegetables.

Gen.9.4

Except for meat with its lifeblood still in it--don't eat that.

Gen.9.4

"But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it.

Gen.9.4

But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.

Gen.9.4

But you must never eat animals that still have their lifeblood in them.

Gen.9.5

"But your own lifeblood I will avenge; I will avenge it against both animals and other humans.

Gen.9.5

And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each man, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of his fellow man.

Gen.9.5

Surely for your lifeblood I will demand a reckoning; from the hand of every beast I will require it, and from the hand of man. From the hand of every man's brother I will require the life of man.

Gen.9.5

And murder is forbidden. Animals that kill people must die, and any person who murders must be killed.

Gen.9.6

Whoever sheds human blood, by humans let his blood be shed, Because God made humans in his image reflecting God's very nature.

Gen.9.6

"Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man.

Gen.9.6

"Whoever sheds man's blood, By man his blood shall be shed; For in the image of God He made man.

Gen.9.6

Yes, you must execute anyone who murders another person, for to kill a person is to kill a living being made in God's image.

Gen.9.7

You're here to bear fruit, reproduce, lavish life on the Earth, live bountifully!"

Gen.9.7

As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it."

Gen.9.7

And as for you, be fruitful and multiply; Bring forth abundantly in the earth And multiply in it."

Gen.9.7

Now you must have many children and repopulate the earth. Yes, multiply and fill the earth!"

Gen.9.8

Then God spoke to Noah and his sons:

Gen.9.8

Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him:

Gen.9.8

Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying:

Gen.9.8

Then God told Noah and his sons,

Gen.9.9

"I'm setting up my covenant with you including your children who will come after you,

Gen.9.9

"I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you

Gen.9.9

"And as for Me, behold, I establish My covenant with you and with your descendants after you,

Gen.9.9

"I am making a covenant with you and your descendants,

Gen.9.10

along with everything alive around you--birds, farm animals, wild animals--that came out of the ship with you.

Gen.9.10

and with every living creature that was with you-the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you-every living creature on earth.

Gen.9.10

and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ark, every beast of the earth.

Gen.9.10

and with the animals you brought with you--all these birds and livestock and wild animals.

Gen.9.11

I'm setting up my covenant with you that never again will everything living be destroyed by floodwaters; no, never again will a flood destroy the Earth."

Gen.9.11

I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth."

Gen.9.11

Thus I establish My covenant with you: Never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood; never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth."

Gen.9.11

I solemnly promise never to send another flood to kill all living creatures and destroy the earth."

Gen.9.12

God continued, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and everything living around you and everyone living after you.

Gen.9.12

And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:

Gen.9.12

And God said: "This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

Gen.9.12

And God said, "I am giving you a sign as evidence of my eternal covenant with you and all living creatures.

Gen.9.13

I'm putting my rainbow in the clouds, a sign of the covenant between me and the Earth.

Gen.9.13

I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

Gen.9.13

I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.

Gen.9.13

I have placed my rainbow in the clouds. It is the sign of my permanent promise to you and to all the earth.

Gen.9.14

From now on, when I form a cloud over the Earth and the rainbow appears in the cloud,

Gen.9.14

Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,

Gen.9.14

It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud;

Gen.9.14

When I send clouds over the earth, the rainbow will be seen in the clouds,

Gen.9.15

Matt.4.1

Next Jesus was taken into the wild by the Spirit for the Test. The Devil was ready to give it.

Matt.4.1

Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil.

Matt.4.1

Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

Matt.4.1

Then Jesus was led out into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit to be tempted there by the Devil.

Matt.4.2

Jesus prepared for the Test by fasting forty days and forty nights. That left him, of course, in a state of extreme hunger,

Matt.4.2

After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.

Matt.4.2

And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry.

Matt.4.2

For forty days and forty nights he ate nothing and became very hungry.

Matt.4.3

which the Devil took advantage of in the first test: "Since you are God's Son, speak the word that will turn these stones into loaves of bread."

Matt.4.3

The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread."

Matt.4.3

Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, "If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread."

Matt.4.3

Then the Devil came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, change these stones into loaves of bread."

Matt.4.4

Jesus answered by quoting Deuteronomy: "It takes more than bread to stay alive. It takes a steady stream of words from God's mouth."

Matt.4.4

Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"

Matt.4.4

But He answered and said, "It is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God."'

Matt.4.4

But Jesus told him, "No! The Scriptures say, 'People need more than bread for their life; they must feed on every word of God.'"

Matt.4.5

For the second test the Devil took him to the Holy City. He sat him on top of the Temple and said,

Matt.4.5

Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple.

Matt.4.5

Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple,

Matt.4.5

Then the Devil took him to Jerusalem, to the highest point of the Temple,

Matt.4.6

"Since you are God's Son, jump." The Devil goaded him by quoting Psalm 91: "He has placed you in the care of angels. They will catch you so that you won't so much as stub your toe on a stone."

Matt.4.6

"If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down. For it is written: "'He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'"

Matt.4.6

and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: "He shall give His angels charge over you,' and, "In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone."'

Matt.4.6

and said, "If you are the Son of God, jump off! For the Scriptures say, 'He orders his angels to protect you. And they will hold you with their hands to keep you from striking your foot on a stone.'"

Matt.4.7

Jesus countered with another citation from Deuteronomy: "Don't you dare test the Lord your God."

Matt.4.7

Jesus answered him, "It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'"

Matt.4.7

Jesus said to him, "It is written again, "You shall not tempt the LORD your God."'

Matt.4.7

Jesus responded, "The Scriptures also say, 'Do not test the Lord your God.'"

Matt.4.8

For the third test, the Devil took him on the peak of a huge mountain. He gestured expansively, pointing out all the earth's kingdoms, how glorious they all were.

Matt.4.8

Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.

Then he said, "They're yours--lock, stock, and barrel. Just go down on your knees and worship me, and they're yours."

Matt.4.9

"All this I will give you," he said, "if you will bow down and worship me."

Matt.4.9

And he said to Him, "All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me."

Matt.4.9

"I will give it all to you," he said, "if you will only kneel down and worship me."

Matt.4.10

Jesus' refusal was curt: "Beat it, Satan!" He backed his rebuke with a third quotation from Deuteronomy: "Worship the Lord your God, and only him. Serve him with absolute single-heartedness."

Matt.4.10

Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'"

Matt.4.10

Then Jesus said to him, "Away with you, Satan! For it is written, "You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve."'

Matt.4.10

"Get out of here, Satan," Jesus told him. "For the Scriptures say, 'You must worship the Lord your God; serve only him.'"

Matt.4.11

The Test was over. The Devil left. And in his place, angels! Angels came and took care of Jesus' needs.

Matt.4.11

Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.

Matt.4.11

Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.

Matt.4.11

Then the Devil went away, and angels came and cared for Jesus.

Matt.4.12

When Jesus got word that John had been arrested, he returned to Galilee.

Matt.4.12

When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, he returned to Galilee.

Matt.4.12

Now when Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, He departed to Galilee.

Matt.4.12

When Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he left Judea and returned to Galilee.

Matt.4.13

He moved from his hometown, Nazareth, to the lakeside village Capernaum, nestled at the base of the Zebulun and Naphtali hills.

Matt.4.13

Leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum, which was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali--

Matt.4.13

And leaving Nazareth, He came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali,

Matt.4.13

But instead of going to Nazareth, he went to Capernaum, beside the Sea of Galilee, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali.

Matt.4.14

This move completed Isaiah's sermon:

Matt.4.14

to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah:

Matt.4.14

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:

Matt.4.14

This fulfilled Isaiah's prophecy:

Matt.4.15

Land of Zebulun, land of Naphtali, road to the sea, over Jordan, Galilee, crossroads for the nations.

Matt.4.15

"Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way to the sea, along the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles--

Matt.4.15

"The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles:

Matt.4.15

"In the land of Zebulun and of Naphtali, beside the sea, beyond the Jordan River--in Galilee where so many Gentiles live--

Matt.4.16

People sitting out their lives in the dark saw a huge light; Sitting in that dark, dark country of death, they watched the sun come up.

Matt.4.16

the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned."

Matt.4.16

The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death Light has dawned."

Matt.4.16

the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light. And for those who lived in the land where death casts its shadow, a light has shined."

Matt.4.17

This Isaiah-prophesied sermon came to life in Galilee the moment Jesus started preaching. He picked up where John left off: "Change your life. God's kingdom is here."

Matt.4.17

From that time on Jesus began to preach, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."

Matt.4.17

From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

Matt.4.17

From then on, Jesus began to preach, "Turn from your sins and turn to God, because the Kingdom of Heaven is near. "

Matt.4.18

Walking along the beach of Lake Galilee, Jesus saw two brothers: Simon (later called Peter) and Andrew. They were fishing, throwing their nets into the lake. It was their regular work.

Matt.4.18

As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen.

Matt.4.18

And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

Matt.4.18

One day as Jesus was walking along the shore beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers--Simon, also called Peter, and Andrew--fishing with a net, for they were commercial fishermen.

Matt.4.19

Jesus said to them, "Come with me. I'll make a new kind of fisherman out of you. I'll show you how to catch men and women instead of perch and bass."

Matt.4.19

"Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men."

Matt.4.19

Then He said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men."

Matt.4.19

Jesus called out to them, "Come, be my disciples, and I will show you how to fish for people!"

Matt.4.20

They didn't ask questions, but simply dropped their nets and followed.

Matt.4.20

At once they left their nets and followed him.

Matt.4.20

They immediately left their nets and followed Him.

Matt.4.20

And they left their nets at once and went with him.

Matt.4.21

A short distance down the beach they came upon another pair of brothers, James and John, Zebedee's sons. These two were sitting in a boat with their father, Zebedee, mending their fishnets. Jesus made the same offer to them,

Matt.4.21

Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them,

Matt.4.21

Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them,

Matt.4.21

A little farther up the shore he saw two other brothers, James and John, sitting in a boat with their father, Zebedee, mending their nets. And he called them to come, too.

Matt.4.22

and they were just as quick to follow, abandoning boat and father.

Matt.4.22

and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.

Matt.4.22

and immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.

Matt.4.22

They immediately followed him, leaving the boat and their father behind.
