Genesis 7

1 And he said Yahweh to Noah go you and all household your into the ark for you I have seen righteous before me in the generation this.

And the Lord said to him: “Enter the ark, you and all your house. For I have seen you to be just in my sight, within this generation.

2 Of all - the livestock clean you will take for yourself seven seven a male and female its and of the animal[s] which not [is] clean it two a male and female its.

From all the clean animals, take seven and seven, the male and the female. Yet truly, from animals that are unclean, take two and two, the male and the female.

3 Also of [the] bird[s] of the heavens seven seven male and female to preserve alive offspring on [the] surface of all the earth.

But also from the birds of the air, take seven and seven, the male and the female, so that offspring may be saved upon the face of the whole earth.

4 For to days yet seven I [am] about to bring rain on the earth forty day[s] and forty night[s] and I will wipe all the existence which I have made from on [the] surface of the ground.

For from that point, and after seven days, I will rain upon the earth for forty days and forty nights. And I will wipe away every substance that I have made, from the surface of the earth.”

5 And he did Noah according to all that he commanded him Yahweh.

Therefore, Noah did all things just as the Lord had commanded him.

6 And Noah [was] a son of six hundred year[s] and the flood was water on the earth.

And he was six hundred years old when the waters of the great flood inundated the earth.

7 And he went Noah and sons his and wife his and [the] wives of sons his with him into the ark because of [the] waters of the flood.

And Noah entered into the ark, and his sons, his wife, and the wives of his sons with him, because of the waters of the great flood.

8 Of the animal[s] clean and of the animal[s] which not [was] it clean and of the bird[s] and all that [was] creeping on the ground.

And from the animals both clean and unclean, and from the birds, and from everything that moves upon the earth,

9 Two two they came to Noah into the ark male and female just as he had commanded God Noah.

two by two they were brought into the ark to Noah, male and female, just as the Lord had instructed Noah.

10 And it was to [the] seven the days and [the] waters of the flood they were on the earth.

And when seven days had passed, the waters of the great flood inundated the earth.

11 In year six hundred year of [the] life of Noah in the month second on [the] seven-teen day of the month on the day this they were split open all [the] springs of [the] deep great and [the] floodgates of the heavens they were opened.

In the six hundredth year of the life of Noah, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, all the fountains of the great abyss were released, and the floodgates of heaven were opened.

12 And it was the rain on the earth forty day[s] and forty night[s].

And rain came upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.

13 On [the] substance of the day this he went Noah and Shem and Ham and Japheth [the] sons of Noah and [the] wife of Noah and [the] three [the] wives of sons his with them into the ark.

On the very same day, Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and his wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark.

14 They and every animal to kind its and all the livestock to kind its and every creeping thing which creeps on the earth to kind its and every bird to kind its every bird every wing.

They and every animal according to its kind, and all the cattle in their kind, and everything that moves upon the earth in their kind, and every flying thing according to its kind, all the birds and all that can fly,

15 And they came to Noah into the ark two two of all flesh which [was] in it [the] breath of life.

entered the ark to Noah, two by two out of all that is flesh, in which there was the breath of life.

16 And those [which] came male and female of all flesh they came just as he had commanded him God and he closed Yahweh behind him.

And those that entered went in male and female, from all that is flesh, just as God had instructed him. And then the Lord closed him in from the outside.

17 And it was the flood forty day[s] on the earth and they increased the waters and they lifted the ark and it rose from on the earth.

And the great flood occurred for forty days upon the earth. And the waters were increased, and they lifted the ark high above the land.

18 And they increased the waters and they increased exceedingly on the earth and it went the ark on [the] surface of the waters.

For they overflowed greatly, and they filled everything on the surface of the earth. And then the ark was carried across the waters.

19 And the waters they increased exceedingly exceedingly on the earth and they were covered all the mountains high which [were] under all the heavens.

And the waters prevailed beyond measure across the earth. And all the lofty mountains under the whole heaven were covered.

20 Fif-teen cubit[s] from to above they increased the waters and they were covered the mountains.

The water was fifteen cubits higher than the mountains which it covered.

21 And it died all flesh - which crept on the earth among the bird[s] and among the livestock and among the animal[s] and among every swarming thing which swarms on the earth and every human.

And all flesh was consumed which moved upon the earth: flying things, animals, wild beasts, and all moving things that crawl upon the ground. And all men,

22 All that [the] breath of [the] breath of life [was] in nostrils its from all that [was] on the dry ground they died.

and everything in which there is the breath of life on earth, died.

23 And he wiped out all the existence - which - [was] on [the] surface of the ground from humankind unto animal[s] unto creeping thing[s] and unto [the] bird[s] of the heavens and they were wiped out from the earth and he was left only Noah and which [were] with him in the ark.

And he wiped away all substance that was upon the earth, from man to animal, the crawling things just as much as the flying things of the air. And they were wiped away from the earth. But only Noah remained, and those who were with him in the ark.

24 And they increased the waters on the earth fifty and one hundred day[s].

And the waters possessed the earth for one hundred and fifty days.
