Genesis 7
1 And the Lord said to Noah, Take all your family and go into the ark, for you only in this generation have I seen to be upright.
And Jehovah saith to Noah, 'Come in, thou and all thy house, unto the ark, for thee I have seen righteous before Me in this generation;
2 Of every clean beast you will take seven males and seven females, and of the beasts which are not clean, two, the male and his female;
of all the clean beasts thou dost take to thee seven pairs, a male and its female; and of the beasts which are not clean two, a male and its female;
3 And of the birds of the air, seven males and seven females, so that their seed may still be living on the face of the earth.
also, of fowl of the heavens seven pairs, a male and a female, to keep alive seed on the face of all the earth;
4 For after seven days I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, for the destruction of every living thing which I have made on the face of the earth.
for after other seven days I am sending rain on the earth 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 everything which the Lord said he was to do.
And Noah doth according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him:
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the waters came flowing over all the earth.
and Noah [is] a son of six hundred years, and the deluge of waters hath been upon the earth.
7 And Noah, with his sons and his wife and his sons' wives, went into the ark because of the flowing of the waters.
And Noah goeth in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, unto the ark, from the presence of the waters of the deluge;
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts which are not clean, and of birds, and of everything which goes on the earth,
of the clean beasts and of the beasts that [are] not clean, and of the fowl, and of every thing that is creeping upon the ground,
9 In twos, male and female, they went into the ark with Noah, as God had said.
two by two they have come in unto Noah, unto the ark, a male and a female, as God hath commanded Noah.
10 And after the seven days, the waters came over all the earth.
And it cometh to pass, after the seventh of the days, that waters of the deluge 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, all the fountains of the great deep came bursting through, and the windows of heaven were open;
In the six hundredth year of the life of Noah, in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, in this day have been broken up all fountains of the great deep, and the net-work of the heavens hath been opened,
12 And rain came down on the earth for forty days and forty nights.
and the shower is on the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 On the same day Noah, with Shem, Ham, and Japheth, his sons, and his wife and his sons' wives, went into the ark;
In this self-same day went in Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, sons of Noah, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them, unto the ark;
14 And with them, every sort of beast and cattle, and every sort of thing which goes on the earth, and every sort of bird.
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 fowl after its kind, every bird — every wing.
15 They went with Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh in which is the breath of life.
And they come in unto Noah, unto the ark, two by two of all the flesh in which [is] a living spirit;
16 Male and female of all flesh went in, as God had said, and the ark was shut by the Lord.
and they that are coming in, male and female of all flesh, have come in as God hath commanded him, and Jehovah doth close [it] for him.
17 And for forty days the waters were over all the earth; and the waters were increased so that the ark was lifted up high over the earth.
And the deluge is forty days on the earth, and the waters multiply, and lift up the ark, and it is raised up from off the earth;
18 And the waters overcame everything and were increased greatly on the earth, and the ark was resting on the face of the waters.
and the waters are mighty, and multiply exceedingly upon the earth; and the ark goeth on the face of the waters.
19 And the waters overcame everything on the earth; and all the mountains under heaven were covered.
And the waters have been very very mighty on the earth, and covered are all the high mountains which [are] under the whole heavens;
20 The waters went fifteen cubits higher, till all the mountains were covered.
fifteen cubits upwards have the waters become mighty, and the mountains are covered;
21 And destruction came on every living thing moving on the earth, birds and cattle and beasts and everything which went on the earth, and every man.
and expire doth all flesh that is moving on the earth, among fowl, and among cattle, and among beasts, and among all the teeming things which are teeming on the earth, and all mankind;
22 Everything on the dry land, in which was the breath of life, came to its end.
all in whose nostrils [is] breath of a living spirit — of all that [is] in the dry land — have died.
23 Every living thing on the face of all the earth, man and cattle and things moving on the face of the earth, and birds of the air, came to destruction: only Noah and those who were with him in the ark, were kept from death.
And wiped away is all the substance that is on the face of the ground, from man unto beast, unto creeping thing, and unto fowl of the heavens; yea, 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 were over the earth a hundred and fifty days.
and the waters are mighty on the earth a hundred and fifty days.
The Great Flood
