Genesis 7
1 The Lord told Noah, “Go into the ark with all your family. I have seen how you are a man of integrity, living a moral life among the people of this generation.
And the Lord God said to Noe, Enter you and all your family into the ark, for you have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
2 Take with you seven pairs, male and female, of every kind of clean animal, and one pair, male and female, of every kind of unclean animal.
And of the clean cattle take in to you sevens, male and female, and of the unclean cattle pairs male and female.
3 In addition take seven pairs, male and female, of all the birds, so their different kinds will survive throughout the earth.
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.
4 In seven days I'm going to make it rain for forty days and nights. I'm going to wipe out from the surface of the earth all the living creatures I made.”
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.
5 Noah did exactly what the Lord ordered him to do.
And Noe [did] all things whatever the Lord God commanded him.
6 Noah was 600 when the flood waters covered the earth.
And Noe was six hundred years old when the flood of water was upon the earth.
7 Noah went into the ark, taking with him his wife and his sons and their wives, because of the flood.
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.
8 Clean and unclean animals, birds, and creatures that run along the ground,
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,
9 went into the ark with Noah. They came in pairs, male and female, just as God had told Noah.
pairs went in to Noe into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noe.
10 After seven days the floodwaters swept over the earth.
And it came to pass after the seven days that the water of the flood came upon the earth.
11 Noah was 600 when on the seventeenth day of the second month all the subterranean waters burst through the earth, and heavy rain poured down from the sky.
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.
12 Rain continue to fall on the earth for forty days and nights.
And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 That was the actual day when Noah, his wife, and their sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth together with their three wives went into the ark.
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.
14 They had with them every kind of wild animals, livestock, creatures that run along the ground, and birds—everything with wings.
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,
15 They all came into the ark with Noah in pairs—every living thing that breathes.
went in to Noe into the ark, pairs, male and female of all flesh in which is the breath of life.
16 A male and a female of every creature entered, as God had told Noah. Then the Lord shut the door behind him.
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.
17 The flood increased for forty days, lifting the ark so that it floated up from the earth.
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.
18 The floodwaters surged and grew deeper and deeper over the earth, but the ark floated along on the surface.
And the water prevailed and abounded exceedingly upon the earth, and the ark was borne upon the water.
19 Finally the water grew so deep that even the highest mountains were covered—all that could be seen was sky.
And the water prevailed exceedingly upon the earth, and covered all the high mountains which were under heaven.
20 The water rose so much that it was higher than the mountains by fifteen cubits.
Fifteen cubits upwards was the water raised, and it covered all the high mountains.
21 Everything living on earth died—the birds, livestock, wild animals, all creatures that run along the ground, and all the people.
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.
22 Everything on land that breathed, died.
And all things which have the breath of life, and whatever was on the dry land, died.
23 The Lord wiped out all life on earth—people, livestock, creatures that run along the ground, and birds. All were killed. The only ones left were Noah and those with him on the ark.
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.
24 The earth remained flooded for 150 days.
And the water was raised over the earth an hundred and fifty days.
