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 said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy household into the ark; for thee 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;

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.

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;

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters 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 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 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,

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,

9 they have come to Noah two by two into the Ark, a male and a female, as God has commanded Noah.

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

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 waters of the flood were 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 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.

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

And the rain fell 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 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;

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).

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.

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

And they went in unto Noah into the ark, one pair of each, of all flesh, wherein 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 went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and then the Lord shut him in.

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 forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it was lifted up above 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 waters prevailed, and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark floated along upon the face of the waters.

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

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

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

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 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.

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

All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that were 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 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.

24 and the waters are mighty on the earth [for] one hundred and fifty days.

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