Genesis 7

1 And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy household into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

And Yahweh said to Noah, Enter thou and all thy house, into the ark, —for, thee, have I seen righteous before me, in this generation.

2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee seven pairs of each, the male and his female; and of beasts that are not clean two, the male and his female.

Of all the clean beasts, shalt thou take to thee by sevens, a male and his female, —and, of the beasts that are not clean, shall be two a male and his female.

3 Also of the fowls of the heaven, seven pairs of each, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

Also of the bird of the heavens, by sevens, male and female, —to keep alive a seed on the face of all the earth.

4 For after only seven days more, I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights: and I will blot out every living substance that I have made from off the face of the earth.

For in seven days more, I, am sending rain on the earth, forty days and forty nights, —so will I wipe out all the living things which I have made, from off the face of the ground.

5 And Noah did all just as the Lord had commanded him.

And Noah did, —according to all that Yahweh commanded him.

6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.

Now, Noah, was six hundred years old, —when, the flood, came, even waters on the earth.

7 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.

So Noah entered, and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him into the ark, —from before the waters of the flood,

8 Of the clean beasts, and of the beasts that are not clean, and of the fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,

Of the beasts that were clean, and of the beasts that were not clean, —and of the birds, and everything that creepeth on the ground,

9 One pair of each went in unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.

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

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

And it came to pass, in the seven days, —that the waters of the flood, came on the earth.

11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on this same day, were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

In the six hundredth year, the year of the life of Noah. in the second month on the seventeenth day of the month on this day, were burst open all the fountains of the great roaring deep, and the windows of the heavens, were set open.

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

(And it came to pass that the heavy rain was on the earth, —forty days and forty nights.)

13 On that self-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;

On this selfsame day, entered Noah, and Shem and Ham and Japheth. Noah’s sons, —and Noah’s wife, and his sons’ three wives with them into the ark:

14 They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird, every thing that hath wings.

they, and all the wild-beasts after their kind and all the tame-beasts after their kind, and all the creeping things that creep on the earth after their kind, —and all the birds after their kind, every bird of every wing.

15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, one pair of each, of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.

So they entered in unto Noah, into the ark, —two and two of all flesh, wherein was the spirit of life.

16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and then the Lord shut him in.

And, they that entered, male and female of all flesh, entered, as God commanded him, —and Yahweh shut him in round about.

17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth.

And it came to pass, that the flood was forty days on the earth, —and the waters increased and bare up the ark, and it was lifted high above the earth,

18 And the waters prevailed, and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark floated along upon the face of the waters.

And the waters prevailed and increased greatly, on the earth, —and the ark went its way on the face of the waters.

19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high mountains that are under the whole heavens were covered.

Yea the waters, prevailed very greatly, on the earth, —so that all the high mountains became covered, that were under all the heavens:

20 Fifteen cubits above them did the waters prevail; and the mountains were [thus] covered.

fifteen cubits upwards, prevailed the waters, so that the mountains became covered.

21 And all flesh perished that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man.

And all flesh ceased to breathe that moved on the earth, of birds and of tame-beasts and of wild-beasts, and of all the swarming things that swarm on the earth, —and all mankind.

22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that were on the dry land, died.

All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life of all that were on the dry ground died.

23 And it swept off every living substance which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and creeping things, and fowls of the heaven; and they were swept from the earth; and Noah only was left, together with those that were with him in the ark.

Thus was wiped out all that existed on the face of the ground, from man unto beast unto creeping thing, and unto the bird of the heavens, thus were they wiped out from the earth, —so that there was left—only Noah and they that were with him in the ark.

24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth one hundred and fifty days.

Thus prevailed the waters on the earth, —a hundred and fifty days.
