Genesis 7

1 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;

And YHWH said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

2 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;

Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.

3 also, of fowl of the heavens seven pairs, a male and a female, to keep alive seed on the face of all the earth;

Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

4 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.'

For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.

5 And Noah doth according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him:

And Noah did according unto all that YHWH commanded him.

6 and Noah [is] a son of six hundred years, and the deluge of waters hath been upon the earth.

And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.

7 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;

And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.

8 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,

Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,

9 two by two they have come in unto Noah, unto the ark, a male and a female, as God hath commanded Noah.

There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as Elohim had commanded Noah.

10 And it cometh to pass, after the seventh of the days, that waters of the deluge have been on the earth.

And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.

11 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,

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

12 and the shower is on the earth forty days and forty nights.

And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

13 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;

In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;

14 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.

They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.

15 And they come in unto Noah, unto the ark, two by two of all the flesh in which [is] a living spirit;

And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.

16 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.

And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as Elohim had commanded him: and YHWH shut him in.

17 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;

And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.

18 and the waters are mighty, and multiply exceedingly upon the earth; and the ark goeth on the face of the waters.

And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.

19 And the waters have been very very mighty on the earth, and covered are all the high mountains which [are] under the whole heavens;

And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.

20 fifteen cubits upwards have the waters become mighty, and the mountains are covered;

Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.

21 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;

And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:

22 all in whose nostrils [is] breath of a living spirit — of all that [is] in the dry land — have died.

All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.

23 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;

And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.

24 and the waters are mighty on the earth a hundred and fifty days.

And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
