Noach

ראשוןRishon

G-d tells Noah that a flood will destroy the corrupt world and commands him to build an ark with specific dimensions. Noah must bring his family, animals, birds, and enough food aboard.

שניSheni

Noah is instructed to take seven pairs of each kosher animal and bird, while taking one pair of other species. Noah, his family, and the animals enter the ark as the Flood begins.

שלישיShlishi

Rain falls for forty days and nights, covering the earth and killing all living creatures outside the ark. The waters later recede, the ark rests on Ararat, and Noah sends birds to determine whether the earth has dried.

רביעיRevi'i

G-d tells Noah and the animals to leave the ark. Noah builds an altar and offers sacrifices, and G-d permits people to eat meat while prohibiting murder and eating a limb from a living animal.

חמישיChamishi

G-d establishes a covenant with Noah and all living creatures, promising never again to destroy the earth with a flood. The rainbow is given as the sign of this covenant.

שישיShishi

Noah plants a vineyard, becomes drunk, and is found uncovered by his son Ham. Shem and Japheth cover him, and Noah blesses them and curses Canaan; the descendants of Noah’s sons are then listed.

שביעיShvi'i

Noah’s descendants build the Tower of Babel, so G-d confuses their languages and scatters them across the earth. The Torah then traces Shem’s descendants through Abram, who marries Sarai.
