Noah puts two of every animal into the Ark (one male/one female)
Noah, Noah’s wife, Sons (Sham, Ham, and Japheth), and sons’ wives go into the Ark, Lord shut them in
The flood raged for forty days (what’d they do for forty days?)
Everything was covered in water; mountains were covered
All man and animals that weren’t in the Ark perished

Lamech and his wife had a child (Noah); he was a beautiful baby with white hair
Noah’s eyes lit up a whole room, and he would praise the Lord when he talked
Lamech was afraid of Noah, went to his father Methuselah and asks him to go to Enoch to find out why Noah is so strange
Enoch explains to Methuselah the coming of the flood in the future
Noah’s birth changed everything; originally, oats would sprout when wheat was planted. Now everything grew properly
Noah invented plough, scythe and hoe as gardening tools (people usually used their hands)
Noah’s birth now prevented the waves from flooding the land twice a day
Noah’s birth also ended the Second Great Famine

God tells Noah and his sons to go and replenish the Earth
God vows that all animals that move along the Earth and all fishes in the sea will provide them meat
He also states that men should not kill one another; anyone who kills a man will be killed himself
God tells them to be fruitful and multiply
God promises Noah there will not be another flood
God puts his bow in the cloud as a token of his promise; God/Noah may look upon it to remind themselves of their promise
Noah and his sons replenish the Earth
Noah gets drunk, sons find him naked; sons cover him up
Noah curses Ham’s son, Canaan, to be a servant to Sham and Japheth
Noah dies 350 years after the flood (lives to be an age of 950)
