Genesis 7
1 The LORD said to Noah, “Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation.
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 You shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his female.
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 of the birds of the sky, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive on the surface of all the earth.
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 In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. I will destroy every living thing that I have made from the surface of the ground.”
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 the LORD commanded him.
And Noah does according to all that YHWH has commanded him.
6 Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came on the earth.
And Noah [is] a son of six hundred years, and the flood of waters has been on the earth.
7 Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, because of the floodwaters.
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 Clean animals, unclean animals, birds, and everything that creeps on 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 went by pairs to Noah into the ship, male and female, as God commanded Noah.
they have come to Noah two by two into the Ark, a male and a female, as God has commanded Noah.
10 After the seven days, the floodwaters came on the earth.
And it comes to pass, after seven days, that waters of the flood 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 that day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the sky’s windows opened.
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 It rained on the earth forty days and forty nights.
and the shower is on the earth [for] forty days and forty nights.
13 In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth—the sons of Noah—and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship—
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, and every animal after its kind, all the livestock after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.
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 from all flesh with the breath of life in them went into the ship to Noah.
And they come to Noah, into the Ark, two by two of all the flesh in which [is] a living spirit;
16 Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; then the LORD shut him in.
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 The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ship, and it was lifted up above the earth.
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 The waters rose, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters.
and the waters are mighty and multiply exceedingly on the earth; and the Ark goes on the face of the waters.
19 The waters rose very high on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered.
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 The waters rose fifteen cubits higher, and the mountains were covered.
the waters prevailed from above the mountains, and cover [them] fifteen cubits;
21 All flesh died that moved on the earth, including birds, livestock, animals, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man.
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 All on the dry land, in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died.
all in whose nostrils [is] breath of a living spirit—of all that [is] in the dry land—have died.
23 Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including man, livestock, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ship.
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 waters flooded the earth one hundred and fifty days.
and the waters are mighty on the earth [for] one hundred and fifty days.
