Genesis 7
1 Yahweh said to Noah, “Come, you and all your household, into the ark, for I have seen that you are righteous before me in this generation.
And the Lord God said to Noe, Enter you and all your family into the ark, for you have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
2 Of every clean animal you will bring with you seven males and seven females. From the animals that are not clean, of them bring two, the male and his mate.
And of the clean cattle take in to you sevens, male and female, and of the unclean cattle pairs male and female.
3 Also of the birds of the sky, bring seven males and seven females, to preserve their offspring upon the surface 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 I will cause it to rain upon the earth for forty days and forty nights. I will destroy from off the surface of the ground every living thing that I have made.”
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 Noah did all that Yahweh commanded him.
And Noe [did] all things whatever the Lord God commanded him.
6 Noah was six hundred years old when the flood came upon the earth.
And Noe was six hundred years old when the flood of water was upon the earth.
7 Noah, his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives went into the ark together because of 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 Clean animals and unclean animals, birds, and everything that creeps upon 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 by two, male and female, came to Noah and went into the ark, just as God had commanded Noah.
pairs went in to Noe into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noe.
10 It came about that after the seven days, the waters of the flood came upon 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 of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day, all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the windows of heaven were opened.
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 The rain began and fell on the earth for forty days and forty nights.
And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 On that very same day Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, entered 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 entered along with each wild animal according to its kind, and each sort of livestock according to its kind, and each creeping thing that creeps upon the earth according to its kind, and every sort of bird according to its kind, each kind of creature with wings.
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 Two of all flesh in which was the breath of life came to Noah and entered into the ark.
went in to Noe into the ark, pairs, male and female of all flesh in which is the breath of life.
16 The animals that went in were male and female of all flesh; they entered in just as God had commanded him. Then Yahweh shut the door after them.
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 Then the flood came upon the earth for forty days, and the water increased and lifted the ark and raised it 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 The waters completely covered over the earth, and the ark floated upon the surface of the water.
And the water prevailed and abounded exceedingly upon the earth, and the ark was borne upon the water.
19 The waters rose greatly on the earth so that all the high mountains that were under the entire sky were covered.
And the water prevailed exceedingly upon the earth, and covered all the high mountains which were under heaven.
20 The waters rose fifteen cubits above the tops of the mountains.
Fifteen cubits upwards was the water raised, and it covered all the high mountains.
21 All living beings that moved upon the earth died—birds, livestock, wild animals, all the living creatures that lived in great numbers upon 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 living creatures who lived on the land, who breathed the breath of life through their noses, died.
And all things which have the breath of life, and whatever was on the dry land, died.
23 So every living thing that was on the surface of the earth was wiped out, from mankind to the larger animals, to creeping things, and to birds of the sky. They were all destroyed from the earth. Only Noah and those with him in the ark were left.
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 The waters stayed upon the earth for a hundred and fifty days.
And the water was raised over the earth an hundred and fifty days.
