Genesis 7
1 Then the LORD said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and all your family, because I have found you righteous 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 You are to take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate; a pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate;
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 and seven pairs of every kind of bird of the air, male and female, to preserve their offspring on 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 seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living thing I have made.”
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 all that the LORD had commanded him.
And Noah does according to all that YHWH has commanded him.
6 Now Noah was 600 years old when the floodwaters came 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 and his wife, with his sons and their wives, entered the ark to escape 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 The clean and unclean animals, the birds, and everything that crawls along 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 came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two, male and female, as God had 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 after seven days the floodwaters came 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, on the seventeenth day of the second month, all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens 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 fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.
and the shower is on the earth [for] forty days and forty nights.
13 On that very day Noah entered the ark, along with his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and his wife, and the three wives of his sons—
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 kind of wild animal, livestock, crawling creature, bird, and winged creature.
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 They came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two of every creature with 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 they entered, the male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD 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 For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and the waters rose and lifted the ark high 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 So the waters continued to surge and rise greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface 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 Finally, the waters completely inundated the earth, so that all the high mountains under all the heavens 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 The waters rose and covered the mountaintops to a depth of fifteen cubits.
the waters prevailed from above the mountains, and cover [them] fifteen cubits;
21 And every living thing that moved upon the earth perished—birds, livestock, animals, every creature that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind.
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 Of all that was on dry land, everything that had the breath of life in its nostrils 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 on the face of the earth was destroyed—man and livestock, crawling creatures and birds of the air; they were blotted out from the earth, and only Noah and those with him in the ark remained.
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 for 150 days.
and the waters are mighty on the earth [for] one hundred and fifty days.
The Great Flood
