< 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 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.
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.
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.
3 Also take seven pairs of every kind of bird from all over the earth to keep them alive.
Also of [the] bird[s] of the heavens seven seven male and female to preserve alive offspring on [the] surface 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 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.
5 Noah did everything that Yahweh told him to do.
And he did Noah according to all that he commanded him Yahweh.
6 Noah was 600 years old when the flood covered the earth.
And Noah [was] a son of six hundred year[s] and the flood was water 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 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.
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,
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.
9 males and females, came to Noah and then went into the boat, just as God told Noah that they would do.
Two two they came to Noah into the ark male and female just as he had commanded God Noah.
10 Seven days later, it started to rain and a flood began to cover the earth.
And it was to [the] seven the days and [the] waters of the flood they were 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 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.
12 Rain fell on the earth constantly for 40 days and nights.
And it was the rain on the earth forty day[s] and forty night[s].
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 [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.
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 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.
15 Pairs of all animals came to Noah and entered the boat.
And they came to Noah into the ark two two of all flesh which [was] in it [the] breath of life.
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 those [which] came male and female of all flesh they came just as he had commanded him God and he closed Yahweh behind 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 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.
18 As he water rose higher and higher, the boat floated on the surface of the water.
And they increased the waters and they increased exceedingly on the earth and it went the ark on [the] surface of the waters.
19 The water rose all over the earth until it covered all the mountains.
And the waters they increased exceedingly exceedingly on the earth and they were covered all the mountains high which [were] under all the heavens.
20 Even the highest mountains were covered by more than (20 feet/6 meters) of water.
Fif-teen cubit[s] from to above they increased the waters and they were covered the mountains.
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 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.
22 On the land, (everything that breathed/every living thing) died.
All that [the] breath of [the] breath of life [was] in nostrils its from all that [was] on the dry ground they 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 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.
24 The flood remained like that on the earth for 150 days.
And they increased the waters on the earth fifty and one hundred day[s].
