Genesis 7

1 And YHWH says to Noah, “Come, you and all your house, into the Ark, for I have seen you [are] righteous before Me in 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 you take seven pairs from all the clean beasts to yourself, a male and its female; and of the beasts which are not clean—two, a male and its female;

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

3 also, seven pairs from [each] bird of the heavens, a male and a female, to keep alive seed on the face of all 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 for after seven more days I am sending rain on the earth [for] forty days and forty nights, and have wiped away all the substance that I have made from off the face of the ground.”

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 And Noah does according to all that YHWH has commanded him.

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

6 And Noah [is] a son of six hundred years, and the flood of waters has been on the earth.

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

7 And Noah goes—and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him—into the Ark, out of the presence of the waters 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 from the clean beast, and from the beast that [is] not clean, and from the bird, and of everything that is creeping on 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 they have come to Noah two by two into the Ark, a male and a female, as God has commanded Noah.

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

10 And it comes to pass, after seven days, that waters of the flood have been on the earth.

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

11 In the six hundredth year of the life of Noah, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on this day all [the] fountains of the great deep have been broken up, and the network of the heavens has been opened,

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 and the shower is on the earth [for] forty days and forty nights.

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

13 On this very same day Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, 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, 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 bird after its kind (every bird, every wing).

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 And they come to Noah, into the Ark, two by two of all the flesh in which [is] a living spirit;

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

16 and they that are coming in, male and female of all flesh, have come in as God has commanded him, and YHWH closes [it] for 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 And the flood is on the earth [for] forty days, and the waters multiply and lift up the Ark, and it is raised up from off 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 and the waters are mighty and multiply exceedingly on the earth; and the Ark goes on the face of the waters.

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

19 And the waters have been very, very mighty on the earth, and all the high mountains are covered which [are] under the whole heavens;

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

20 the waters prevailed from above the mountains, and cover [them] fifteen cubits;

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

21 and all flesh expires that is moving on the earth, among bird, and among livestock, and among beast, and among every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth, and all mankind;

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 all in whose nostrils [is] breath of a living spirit—of all that [is] in the dry land—have died.

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

23 And all the substance that is on the face of the ground is wiped away—from man to beast, to creeping thing, and to bird of the heavens; indeed, they are wiped away from the earth, and only Noah is left, and those who [are] with him in 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 and the waters are mighty on the earth [for] one hundred and fifty days.

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