Genesis 7
1 Then Yahweh said to Noah, “I have seen that out of everyone who is now living, you alone always act righteously. So you and all your family go into the boat.
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;
2 Take with you seven pairs of every kind of animal that I have said I will accept for sacrifices. Take seven males and seven females. Also take a male and a female from every kind of animal that I have said that I will not accept for sacrifices.
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;
3 Also take seven pairs of every kind of bird from all over the earth to keep them alive.
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;
4 Do this because seven days from now I will cause rain to fall on the earth. It will rain constantly for 40 days and nights. By doing that, I will destroy everything that I have made that is on the earth.”
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.”
5 Noah did everything that Yahweh told him to do.
And Noah does according to all that YHWH has commanded him.
6 Noah was 600 years old when the flood covered the earth.
And Noah [is] a son of six hundred years, and the flood of waters has been on the earth.
7 Before it started to rain, Noah and his wife and his sons went into the boat to escape from the flood water.
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;
8 Pairs of animals, those that God said that he would accept for sacrifices and those that he would not accept for sacrifices, and pairs of birds and pairs of all the kinds of creatures that move close to the ground,
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,
9 males and females, came to Noah and then went into the boat, just as God told Noah that they would do.
they have come to Noah two by two into the Ark, a male and a female, as God has commanded Noah.
10 Seven days later, it started to rain and a flood began to cover the earth.
And it comes to pass, after seven days, that waters of the flood have been on the earth.
11 When Noah was 600 years old, (on the 17th day of the second month [of that year/late in October]), all the water that is under the surface of the earth burst forth, and it began to rain so hard that it was as though a dam [MET] in the sky burst open.
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,
12 Rain fell on the earth constantly for 40 days and nights.
and the shower is on the earth [for] forty days and forty nights.
13 On the day that it started to rain, Noah went into the boat with his wife, and his three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth and their wives.
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—
14 They had already put in the boat some of every kind of wild animal and every kind of livestock and every kind of bird and every other creature that has wings.
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).
15 Pairs of all animals came to Noah and entered the boat.
And they come to Noah, into the Ark, two by two of all the flesh in which [is] a living spirit;
16 There was a male and a female of each animal that came to Noah, just as God had said they would do. After they were all in the boat, God shut the door.
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.
17 It rained for 40 days and nights, and the flood increased. It flooded until the water lifted the boat above the ground.
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;
18 As he water rose higher and higher, the boat floated on the surface of the water.
and the waters are mighty and multiply exceedingly on the earth; and the Ark goes on the face of the waters.
19 The water rose all over the earth until it covered all the mountains.
And the waters have been very, very mighty on the earth, and all the high mountains are covered which [are] under the whole heavens;
20 Even the highest mountains were covered by more than (20 feet/6 meters) of water.
the waters prevailed from above the mountains, and cover [them] fifteen cubits;
21 As a result, every living creature on the surface of the earth died. That included birds and livestock and wild animals and other creatures that scurry across the ground, and all the people.
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;
22 On the land, (everything that breathed/every living thing) died.
all in whose nostrils [is] breath of a living spirit—of all that [is] in the dry land—have died.
23 God destroyed every living creature: People and animals and creatures that scurry across the ground and birds. Only Noah and those who were in the boat with him remained alive.
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;
24 The flood remained like that on the earth for 150 days.
and the waters are mighty on the earth [for] one hundred and fifty days.
