Genesis 7

1 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.

And the LORD said unto Noah, Come you and all your house into the ark; for you have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

2 And of the clean cattle take in to you sevens, male and female, and of the unclean cattle pairs male and female.

Of every clean beast you shall take to you by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his 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.

Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon 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 yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.

5 And Noe [did] all things whatever the Lord God commanded him.

And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.

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

And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was 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 went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.

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 clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creeps upon the earth,

9 pairs went in to Noe into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noe.

There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.

10 And it came to pass after the seven days that the water of the flood came upon the earth.

And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon 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 Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

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

And the rain was upon 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 the very same day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into 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 beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.

15 went in to Noe into the ark, pairs, male and female of all flesh in which is the breath of life.

And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.

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 went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.

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 flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.

18 And the water prevailed and abounded exceedingly upon the earth, and the ark was borne upon the water.

And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon 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 prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.

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

Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were 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 all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth, and every man:

22 And all things which have the breath of life, and whatever was on the dry land, died.

All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, 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 every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.

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

And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
