Genesis 7

1 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.

And the Lord God said to Noe, Enter thou and all thy family into the ark, for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

2 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.

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

3 Also of the bird of the heavens, by sevens, male and female, —to keep alive a 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 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.

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 did, —according to all that Yahweh commanded him.

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

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

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

7 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,

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 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,

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

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

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

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

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

13 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:

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 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.

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

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

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 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,

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 prevailed and increased greatly, on the earth, —and the ark went its way 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 Yea the waters, prevailed very greatly, on the earth, —so that all the high mountains became covered, that were under all the heavens:

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

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

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

21 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.

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 was the breath of the spirit of life of all that were on the dry ground died.

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

23 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.

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

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