Genesis 8 — English–Hebrew Parallel

1 Alahayam () zakar (remember) Nach (Noah), all the animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ship; and Alahayam () ibar (pass over/through) a rawach (spirit / wind) to ibar (pass over/through) over the aratz (Earth/land). The mayam (Waters) subsided.

2 The thahawam (depths) maiyanath (fountains) and the sky's arabath (windows) were also sakar (stopped), and the gasham (rain) from the sky was kalaa (restrained).

3 The mayam (Waters) receded from the aratz (Earth/land) halak (move). Qatzah (end / extremity / border) the end of one maah (hundred) chamashayam (fifty) yawam (day) the mayam (Waters) chasar (decreased).

4 The ship nawach (rested) in the shabayaiy (seventh) chadash (month), on the seventeenth yawam (day) of the chadash (month), on Ararat (Ararat's) haray (mountains).

5 The mayam (Waters) receded halak (move) id (until / as far as) the ishayaray (tenth) chadash (month). In the ishayaray (tenth) month, on the achad (one) day of the chadash (month), the raashay (tops) of the harayam (mountains) were raah (see / saw).

6 It happened at the qatz (end) of arabaiyam (forty) yawam (day), that Nach (Nach / Noah) pathach (opened) the chalawan (window) of the ship which he ishah (make) made,

7 And he shalach (send) out a irab (evening). It yatzaa (go out / come out) back and forth, until the mayam (Waters) were yabash (dry land) up from the aratz (Earth/land).

8 He shalach (send) out a yawanah (dove) from him, to raah (see / saw) if the mayam (Waters) were qalal (abated) from the surface of the adamah (ground),

9 But the yawanah (dove) matzaa (found) no place to manawach (rest) her ragal (feet / foot), and she shawab (turn) to him into the ship; for the mayam (Waters) were on the surface of the whole aratz (Earth/land). He shalach (send) out his yad (hand), and laqach (take / seize) her, and brought her to him into the ship.

10 He chawal (stayed) yet achar (other) shabai (seven) yamayam (days); and again he sent the yawanah (dove) out of the ship.

11 The yawanah (dove) bawaa (bring) back to him at ith (evening), and, behold, in her pah (mouth) was an zayath (olive) ilah (leaf) plucked off. So Nach (Nach / Noah) yadai (knew) that the mayam (Waters) were qalal (abated) from the aratz (Earth/land).

12 He yachal (stayed) yet another shabai (seven) yamayam (days), and shalach (send) out the yawanah (dove); and she didn't shawab (turn) to him any more.

13 It happened in the shash (six) maah (hundred) first shanah (year), in the raashawan (first) month, the achad (one) day of the chadash (month), the mayam (Waters) were charab (dried) up from the aratz (Earth/land). Nach (Nach / Noah) sawar (removed) the makasah (covering) of the ship, and raah (see / saw). He saw that the surface of the adamah (ground) was charab (dried).

14 In the shanay (second) chadash (month), on the twenty-seventh yawam (day) of the chadash (month), the aratz (Earth/land) was yabash (dry land).

15 Alahayam () dabar (word / matter) to Nach (Noah), amar (spoke),

16 “Yatzaa (go out / come out) out of the ship, you, and your ayashah (woman / wife), and your ban (son), and your ban (son)’ wives with you.

17 Yatzaa (go out / come out) out with you every chay (life) thing that is with you of all bashar (flesh), including iwap (flying), livestock, and every ramash (creeping) thing that ramash (creeps) on the aratz (Earth/land), that they may sharatz (swarm as many) abundantly in the aratz (Earth/land), and be parah (bear fruit / increase), and rabah (multiply) on the aratz (Earth/land).”

18 Nach (Nach / Noah) went out, with his ban (son), his ayashah (woman / wife), and his ban (son)’ wives with him.

19 Every animal, every ramash (creeping) thing, and every iwap (flying), whatever ramash (moves) on the aratz (Earth/land), after their mashapachah (tribe / clan / family), yatzaa (go out / come out) out of the ship.

20 Nach (Noah) banah (build) an mazabach (altar) to Yahawah (), and laqach (take / seize) of every tahawar (clean) animal, and of every tahawar (clean) iwap (flying), and ilah (go up / offer) burnt ilath (offerings) on the mazabach (altar).

21 Yahawah () rawach (spirit / wind) the pleasant aroma. Yahawah () amar (spoke) in his lab (heart), “I will not again qalal (curse) the adamah (ground) any more for adam (man's) ibawar (sake), because the yatzar (imagination) of adam (man's) lab (heart) is rai (evil) from his naiwar (youth); neither will I ever again nakah (strike) everything chay (life), as I ishah (make) done.

22 While the aratz (Earth/land) remains, zarai (seed) time and qatzayar (harvest), and qar (cold) and cham (heat), and qayatz (summer) and charap (winter), and yawam (day) and layal (night) shall not shabath (shabath / rest).”
