< 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.
Adonai said to Noah [Rest], “Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness 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 shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his 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 of the birds of the sky, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive on the surface 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.”
In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. Every living thing that I have made, I will destroy from the surface of the ground.”
5 And Noah did all that the LORD had commanded him.
Noah [Rest] did everything that Adonai enjoined him.
6 Now Noah was 600 years old when the floodwaters came upon the earth.
Noah [Rest] was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came 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.
Noah [Rest] went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, because of the flood waters.
8 The clean and unclean animals, the birds, and everything that crawls along the ground
Clean animals, unclean animals, birds, and everything that creeps on the ground
9 came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.

10 And after seven days the floodwaters came upon the earth.
After the seven days, the flood waters came 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 Noah [Rest]’s life, in the second month (Iyar ·Light / I Am God your healer, 2·), on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep were burst open, and the sky’s windows were opened.
12 And the rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.
It rained on the earth 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—
In the same day Noah [Rest], and Shem [Name], Ham [Hot, Intensity, Passion], and Japheth [Enlargement, Spreading wide]— the sons of Noah— and Noah [Rest]’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship—
14 they and every kind of wild animal, livestock, crawling creature, bird, and winged creature.
they, and every animal after its kind, all the livestock after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.
15 They came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two of every creature with the breath of life.
Pairs from all flesh with the breath of life in them went to Noah [Rest] into the ship.
16 And they entered, the male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD shut him in.
Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God enjoined him; then Adonai shut him in.
17 For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and the waters rose and lifted the ark high above the earth.
The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ship, and it was lifted up above 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.
The waters rose, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters.
19 Finally, the waters completely inundated the earth, so that all the high mountains under all the heavens were covered.
The waters rose very high on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered.
20 The waters rose and covered the mountaintops to a depth of fifteen cubits.
The waters rose fifteen cubits [22.5 ft; 68.58 m] higher, and the mountains were covered.
21 And every living thing that moved upon the earth perished—birds, livestock, animals, every creature that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind.
All flesh died that moved on the earth, including birds, livestock, animals, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man.
22 Of all that was on dry land, everything that had the breath of life in its nostrils died.
All on the dry land, in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, 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.
Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including man, livestock, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah [Rest] was left, and those who were with him in the ship.
24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth for 150 days.
The waters flooded the earth one hundred fifty days.
