8:6 At the end of forty days, ¹  Noah opened the window he had made in the ark ²  8:7 and sent out a raven; it kept flying ³  back and forth until the waters had dried up on the earth.

8:8 Then Noah ⁴  sent out a dove ⁵  to see if the waters had receded ⁶  from the surface of the ground. 8:9 The dove could not find a resting place for its feet because water still covered ⁷  the surface of the entire earth, and so it returned to Noah ⁸  in the ark. He stretched out his hand, took the dove, ⁹  and brought it back into the ark. ¹⁰  8:10 He waited seven more days and then sent out the dove again from the ark. 8:11 When ¹¹  the dove returned to him in the evening, there was ¹²  a freshly plucked olive leaf in its beak! Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth. 8:12 He waited another seven days and sent the dove out again, ¹³  but it did not return to him this time. ¹⁴ 

8:13 In Noah’s six hundred and first year, ¹⁵  in the first day of the first month, the waters had dried up from the earth, and Noah removed the covering from the ark and saw that ¹⁶  the surface of the ground was dry.

9:17 So God said to Noah, “This is the guarantee of the covenant that I am confirming between me and all living things ⁶  that are on the earth.”

9:18 The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Now Ham was the father of Canaan.) ⁷  9:19 These were the sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was populated. ⁸ 

9:20 Noah, a man of the soil, ⁹  began to plant a vineyard. ¹⁰  9:21 When he drank some of the wine, he got drunk and uncovered himself ¹¹  inside his tent. 9:22 Ham, the father of Canaan, ¹²  saw his father’s nakedness ¹³  and told his two brothers who were outside.

10:13 Mizraim ¹³  was the father of ¹⁴  the Ludites, ¹⁵  Anamites, ¹⁶  Lehabites, ¹⁷  Naphtuhites, ¹⁸  10:14 Pathrusites, ¹⁹  Casluhites ²⁰  (from whom the Philistines came), ²¹  and Caphtorites. ²² 

10:15 Canaan was the father of ²³  Sidon his firstborn, ²⁴  Heth, ²⁵  10:16 the Jebusites, ²⁶  Amorites, ²⁷  Girgashites, ²⁸  10:17 Hivites, ²⁹  Arkites, ³⁰  Sinites, ³¹  10:18 Arvadites, ³²  Zemarites, ³³  and Hamathites. ³⁴  Eventually the families of the Canaanites were scattered 10:19 and the borders of Canaan extended ³⁵  from Sidon ³⁶  all the way to ³⁷  Gerar as far as Gaza, and all the way to ³⁸  Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha. 10:20 These are the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, and by their nations.

10:21 And sons were also born ³⁹  to Shem (the older brother of Japheth), ⁴⁰  the father of all the sons of Eber.

10:22 The sons of Shem were Elam, ⁴¹  Asshur, ⁴²  Arphaxad, ⁴³  Lud, ⁴⁴  and Aram. ⁴⁵  10:23 The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. ⁴⁶  10:24 Arphaxad was the father of ⁴⁷  Shelah, ⁴⁸  and Shelah was the father of Eber. ⁴⁹  10:25 Two sons were born to Eber: One was named Peleg because in his days the earth was divided, ⁵⁰  and his brother’s name was Joktan. 10:26 Joktan was the father of ⁵¹  Almodad, ⁵²  Sheleph, ⁵³  Hazarmaveth, ⁵⁴  Jerah, ⁵⁵  10:27 Hadoram, Uzal, ⁵⁶  Diklah, ⁵⁷  10:28 Obal, ⁵⁸  Abimael, ⁵⁹  Sheba, ⁶⁰  10:29 Ophir, ⁶¹  Havilah, ⁶²  and Jobab. All these were sons of Joktan. 10:30 Their dwelling place was from Mesha all the way to ⁶³  Sephar in the eastern hills. 10:31 These are the sons of Shem according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, and according to their nations.

12:1 Now the Lord said ¹  to Abram, ² 

“Go out ³  from your country, your relatives, and your father’s household

to the land that I will show you. ⁴ 

13:1 So Abram went up from Egypt into the Negev. ¹  He took his wife and all his possessions with him, as well as Lot. ²
