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 Jehovah saith to Noah, 'Come in, thou and all thy house, unto the ark, for thee I have 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.
of all the clean beasts thou dost take to thee seven pairs, a male and its female; and of the beasts which are not clean two, a male and its 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.
also, of fowl of the heavens seven pairs, a male and a female, to keep alive seed on the face of 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 after other seven days I am sending rain on the earth 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 all that Yahweh commanded him.
And Noah doth according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him:
6 Noah was six hundred years old when the flood came upon the earth.
and Noah [is] a son of six hundred years, and the deluge of waters hath been 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 Noah goeth in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, unto the ark, from the presence of the waters of the deluge;
8 Clean animals and unclean animals, birds, and everything that creeps upon the ground,
of the clean beasts and of the beasts that [are] not clean, and of the fowl, and of every thing that is creeping upon the ground,
9 two by two, male and female, came to Noah and went into the ark, just as God had commanded Noah.
two by two they have come in unto Noah, unto the ark, a male and a female, as God hath commanded Noah.
10 It came about that after the seven days, the waters of the flood came upon the earth.
And it cometh to pass, after the seventh of the days, that waters of the deluge have been on 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 Noah, in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, in this day have been broken up all fountains of the great deep, and the net-work of the heavens hath been opened,
12 The rain began and fell on the earth for forty days and forty nights.
and the shower is on 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.
In this self-same day went in Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, sons of Noah, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them, unto 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.
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 fowl after its kind, every bird — every wing.
15 Two of all flesh in which was the breath of life came to Noah and entered into the ark.
And they come in unto Noah, unto the ark, two by two of all the flesh in which [is] a living spirit;
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 are coming in, male and female of all flesh, have come in as God hath commanded him, and Jehovah doth close [it] for 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 deluge is forty days on the earth, and the waters multiply, and lift up the ark, and it is raised up from off the earth;
18 The waters completely covered over the earth, and the ark floated upon the surface of the water.
and the waters are mighty, and multiply exceedingly upon the earth; and the ark goeth on the face of the waters.
19 The waters rose greatly on the earth so that all the high mountains that were under the entire sky were covered.
And the waters have been very very mighty on the earth, and covered are all the high mountains which [are] under the whole heavens;
20 The waters rose fifteen cubits above the tops of the mountains.
fifteen cubits upwards have the waters become mighty, and the mountains are covered;
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 expire doth all flesh that is moving on the earth, among fowl, and among cattle, and among beasts, and among all the teeming things which are teeming on the earth, and all mankind;
22 All living creatures who lived on the land, who breathed the breath of life through their noses, died.
all in whose nostrils [is] breath of a living spirit — of all that [is] in the dry land — have 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 wiped away is all the substance that is on the face of the ground, from man unto beast, unto creeping thing, and unto fowl of the heavens; yea, they are wiped away from the earth, and only Noah is left, and those who [are] with him in the ark;
24 The waters stayed upon the earth for a hundred and fifty days.
and the waters are mighty on the earth a hundred and fifty days.
The Great Flood
