Genesis 7

1 And the Lord God said to Noe, Enter thou and all thy family into the ark, for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

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 And of the clean cattle take in to thee sevens, male and female, and of the unclean cattle pairs male and 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 clean flying creatures of the sky sevens, male and female, and of all unclean flying creatures pairs, male and female, to maintain seed on all 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 yet seven days [having passed] I bring rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will blot out every offspring which I have made from the face of all 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 Noe [did] all things whatever the Lord God commanded him.

And Noah doth according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him:

6 And Noe was six hundred years old when the flood of water was upon the earth.

and Noah [is] a son of six hundred years, and the deluge of waters hath been upon the earth.

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

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 And of clean flying creatures and of unclean flying creatures, and of clean cattle and of unclean cattle, and of all things that creep upon 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 pairs went in to Noe into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noe.

two by two they have come in unto Noah, unto the ark, a male and a female, as God hath commanded Noah.

10 And it came to pass after the seven days that the water of the flood came upon 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 the life of Noe, in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, on this day all the fountains of the abyss were broken up, and the flood-gates of heaven were opened.

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

and the shower is on the earth forty days and forty nights.

13 On that very day entered Noe, Sem, Cham, Japheth, the sons of Noe, and the wife of Noe, and the three wives of his sons with him 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 all the wild beasts after their kind, and all cattle after their kind, and every reptile moving itself on the earth after its kind, and every flying bird after its kind,

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 went in to Noe into the ark, pairs, male and female 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 And they that entered went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded Noe, and the Lord God shut the ark outside of him.

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 the flood was upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and the water abounded greatly and bore up the ark, and it was lifted on high from off 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 water prevailed and abounded exceedingly upon the earth, and the ark was borne upon the water.

and the waters are mighty, and multiply exceedingly upon the earth; and the ark goeth on the face of the waters.

19 And the water prevailed exceedingly upon the earth, and covered all the high mountains which were under heaven.

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 Fifteen cubits upwards was the water raised, and it covered all the high mountains.

fifteen cubits upwards have the waters become mighty, and the mountains are covered;

21 And there died all flesh that moved upon the earth, of flying creatures and cattle, and of wild beasts, and every reptile moving upon 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 And all things which have the breath of life, and whatever 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 [God] blotted out every offspring which was upon the face of the earth, both man and beast, and reptiles, and birds of the sky, and they were blotted out from the earth, and Noe was left alone, and those with him in the ark.

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 water was raised over the earth an hundred and fifty days.

and the waters are mighty on the earth a hundred and fifty days.
