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 Yahweh said to Noah, Enter 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 all the clean beasts, shalt thou take to thee by sevens, a male and his female, —and, of the beasts that are not clean, shall be two a 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;

Also of the bird of the heavens, by sevens, male and female, —to keep alive a seed on 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 in seven days more, I, am sending rain on the earth, forty days and forty nights, —so will I wipe out all the living things which I have made, from off the face of the ground.

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

And Noah did, —according to all that Yahweh commanded him.

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

Now, Noah, was six hundred years old, —when, the flood, came, even waters on 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;

So Noah entered, and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him into the ark, —from before 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 the beasts that were clean, and of the beasts that were not clean, —and of the birds, and everything that creepeth on the ground,

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

two and two, went they in unto Noah, into the ark male and female, —as God 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, in the seven days, —that the waters of the flood, came on 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, the year of the life of Noah. in the second month on the seventeenth day of the month on this day, were burst open all the fountains of the great roaring deep, and the windows of the heavens, were set open.

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

(And it came to pass that the heavy rain was on 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;

On this selfsame day, entered Noah, and Shem and Ham and Japheth. Noah’s sons, —and Noah’s wife, and his sons’ three wives 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 all the wild-beasts after their kind and all the tame-beasts after their kind, and all the creeping things that creep on the earth after their kind, —and all the birds after their kind, every bird of every wing.

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

So they entered in unto Noah, into the ark, —two and two of all flesh, wherein was the spirit 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 entered, male and female of all flesh, entered, as God commanded him, —and Yahweh shut him in round about.

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 it came to pass, that the flood was forty days on the earth, —and the waters increased and bare up the ark, and it was lifted high 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 increased greatly, on the earth, —and the ark went its way on 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;

Yea the waters, prevailed very greatly, on the earth, —so that all the high mountains became covered, that were under all the heavens:

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

fifteen cubits upwards, prevailed the waters, so that the mountains became 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 ceased to breathe that moved on the earth, of birds and of tame-beasts and of wild-beasts, and of all the swarming things that swarm on the earth, —and all mankind.

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 the spirit of life of all that were on the dry ground 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;

Thus was wiped out all that existed on the face of the ground, from man unto beast unto creeping thing, and unto the bird of the heavens, thus were they wiped out from the earth, —so that there was left—only Noah and they that were with him in the ark.

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

Thus prevailed the waters on the earth, —a hundred and fifty days.
