  Speaker 1: The Rainbow of Promise. Story of the Ark. Now, God
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: and it repented God that he had made man. But
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generation.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: And Noah walked with God, and God said unto Noah,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the end of all flesh has come before me, for
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the earth is filled with violence through them. And behold,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I will destroy them with the earth. Make thee an
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: ark of gopher wood rooms. Shalt thou make in the ark,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch a window.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Shalt thou make to the ark, and the door of
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the ark, shalt thou set in the side thereof with
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: lower second and third stories, shalt thou make it, And behold,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I even I do bring a flood of waters upon
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the earth to destroy all flesh, and everything that is
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: in the earth shall die. But with THEE will I
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: establish my covenant. And thou shalt come into the Ark,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Thou and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: wives with THEE. And of every living thing, two of
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: every sort shalt thou bring into the ark to keep
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: them alive. With THEE. They shall be male and female,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: of fowls after their kind, and of cattle, and of
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: every creeping thing of the earth. Two of every sort
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: shall come unto THEE to keep them alive. And take
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: thou unto THEE of all food that is eaten, and
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: it shall be for food for THEE and for them.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Thus did Noah according to all that God commanded him.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: So did he the flood. And the Lord said, unto Noah,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: come thou and all thy house into the Ark. For
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: THEE have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: and his son's wives with him into the Ark. Because
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: of the waters of the flood, of clean beasts and
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: of everything that creepeth upon the earth. There went in
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: two and two unto Noah into the ark the male
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: and the female, as God had commanded Noah, and the
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Lord shut him in. And it came to pass after
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: seven days that the waters of the flood were upon
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the earth. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: The same day, were all the fountains of the great
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: and the rain was upon the earth forty days and
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: forty nights, and the waters increased and bare up the ark,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: and it was lift up above the earth, and all
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: flesh died that moved upon the earth, and every living
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: both man and cattle, and the creeping things, and the
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: fowl of the heaven. And Noah only remained alive, and
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: they that were with him in the ark, and the
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: ark went upon the face of the waters, and the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: waters prevailed upon the earth ane hundred and fifty days.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: The olive leif and God remembered Noah and every living
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: thing and the cattle that was with him in the Ark,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and God made a wind to pass over the earth,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: and the waters assuaged the fountains also of the deep,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: from heaven was restrained, and the waters returned from off
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the earth continually, and after the end of the hundred
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and fifty days, the waters were abated, and the ark
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: rested in the seventh month on the seventeenth day of
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the month upon the mountains of Ararat, and the waters
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: decreased continually until the time tops of the mountains were seen.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass at the end of forty
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: days that Noah opened the window of the ark which
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: he had made, and he sent forth a raven, which
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: went forth to and fro until the waters were dried
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: up from the earth. Also he sent forth a dove
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: from him to see if the waters were abated from
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: off the face of the ground. But the dove found
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: no rest for the soul of her foot, and she
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: on the face of the whole earth. Then he put
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: forth his hand and took her and pulled her unto
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: him into the ark. And he stayed yet other seven days,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: and the dove came into him in the evening, and
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: lo in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: So Noah knew that the waters were abated from off
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: the earth. And he stayed yet other seven days, and
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: he sent forth the dove, which returned not again unto
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: him anymore. And Noah removed the covering of the ark,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: and looked, and behold, the face of the ground was dry.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: And God spake unto Noah, saying, go forth of the ark,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: thou and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy son's
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: wives with THEE. Bring forth with THEE every living thing,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: of all flesh, both of fowl and of cattle, and
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, that
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: they may be fruitful and multiply upon the earth. And
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife and
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: his son's wives with him, every beast, every creeping thing,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: and every fowl went forth out of the ark. And
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Noah built and altar unto the Lord the rainbow of promise.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: And the Lord said in his heart, I will not
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: again curse the ground any more for man's sake, For
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Neither will I again smite anymore everything living as I
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: have done, while the earth remaineth seed, time and harvest
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: and cold, in heat and summer and winter, and day
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: and night shall not cease. And God blessed Noah and
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: his sons. And God spake unto Noah and to his
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: sons with him, saying, and I behold, I establish my
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: covenant with you, and with your seed after you, and
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: with every living creature that is with you, of the
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: fowl of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: with you, from all all that go out of the ark,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: to every beast of the earth, I will establish my
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: covenant with you. Neither shall all flesh be cut off
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: anymore by the waters of a flood. Neither shall there
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: any more be a flood to destroy the earth. And
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: God said, this is the token of the covenant which
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I make between me and you and every living creature
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: that is with you, for perpetual generations. I do set
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: a token of covenant between me and the earth. And
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: it shall come to pass when I bring a cloud
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: the cloud and I will remember my covenant which is
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: between me and you and every living creature of all flesh,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: and the waters shall no more become a flood to
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: destroy all flesh. And Noah lived after the flood three
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty years, and all the days of Noah
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: were nine hundred and fifty years. And of Section thirty four,
