Genesis 7

1 And Jehovah said to Noah, Come, thou and all thy house into the ark, for I have seen thee righteous before me in this generation.

And YHWH says to Noah, “Come, you and all your house, into the Ark, for I have seen you [are] righteous before Me in this generation;

2 Of every clean beast thou shall take to thee by sevens, the male and his female. And of the beasts that are not clean two, the male and his female.

you take seven pairs from all the clean beasts to yourself, a male and its female; and of the beasts which are not clean—two, a male and its female;

3 Also of the birds of the heavens by sevens, male and female, to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

also, seven pairs from [each] bird of the heavens, a male and a female, to keep alive seed on the face of all the earth;

4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and every living thing that I have made I will destroy from off the face of the ground.

for after seven more days I am sending rain on the earth [for] forty days and forty nights, and have wiped away all the substance that I have made from off the face of the ground.”

5 And Noah did according to all that Jehovah commanded him.

And Noah does according to all that YHWH has commanded him.

6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.

And Noah [is] a son of six hundred years, and the flood of waters has been on the earth.

7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.

And Noah goes—and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him—into the Ark, out of the presence of the waters of the flood;

8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that creeps upon the ground,

from the clean beast, and from the beast that [is] not clean, and from the bird, and of everything that is creeping on the ground,

9 there went in two by two to Noah into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noah.

they have come to Noah two by two into the Ark, a male and a female, as God has commanded Noah.

10 And it came to pass after the seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.

And it comes to pass, after seven days, that waters of the flood have been on the earth.

11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

In the six hundredth year of the life of Noah, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on this day all [the] fountains of the great deep have been broken up, and the network of the heavens has been opened,

12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

and the shower is on the earth [for] forty days and forty nights.

13 In the selfsame day Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ark,

On this very same day Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, went into the Ark—

14 they, and every beast according to its kind, and all the cattle according to their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth according to its kind, and every bird according to its kind, every bird of every sort.

they, and every living creature after its kind, and every beast after its kind, and every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind (every bird, every wing).

15 And they went in to Noah into the ark, two by two of all flesh in which is the breath of life.

And they come to Noah, into the Ark, two by two of all the flesh in which [is] a living spirit;

16 And those that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him. And Jehovah shut him in.

and they that are coming in, male and female of all flesh, have come in as God has commanded him, and YHWH closes [it] for him.

17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth. And the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth.

And the flood is on the earth [for] forty days, and the waters multiply and lift up the Ark, and it is raised up from off the earth;

18 And the waters prevailed, and increased greatly upon the earth, and the ark went upon the face of the waters.

and the waters are mighty and multiply exceedingly on the earth; and the Ark goes on the face of the waters.

19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth, and all the high mountains that were under the whole heaven were covered,

And the waters have been very, very mighty on the earth, and all the high mountains are covered which [are] under the whole heavens;

20 fifteen cubits upward. The waters prevailed, and the mountains were covered.

the waters prevailed from above the mountains, and cover [them] fifteen cubits;

21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, from birds, to cattle, to beasts, and every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth, and every man.

and all flesh expires that is moving on the earth, among bird, and among livestock, and among beast, and among every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth, and all mankind;

22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of all that was on the dry land, died.

all in whose nostrils [is] breath of a living spirit—of all that [is] in the dry land—have died.

23 And every living thing was destroyed that was upon the face of the ground, from man, to cattle, to creeping things, and birds of the heavens, and they were destroyed from the earth. And only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ark.

And all the substance that is on the face of the ground is wiped away—from man to beast, to creeping thing, and to bird of the heavens; indeed, they are wiped away from the earth, and only Noah is left, and those who [are] with him in the Ark;

24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.

and the waters are mighty on the earth [for] one hundred and fifty days.
