| 1 And Jehovah 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
every clean beast thou shalt take to thee seven and seven, the male and his
female; and of the beasts that are not clean two, the male and his female:
3 of the birds also of the heavens, seven and seven, male and female, to
keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. 4 For yet seven days, and
I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every
living thing that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the ground.
5 And Noah did according unto all that Jehovah commanded him.
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the
earth. 7 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 clean
beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything
that creepeth upon the ground, 9 there went in two and two unto Noah into
the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noah. 10 And it came to pass
after the seven days, that the waters of the flood were 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 were all the fountains of the
great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. 12 And the
rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 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 beast after its kind, and all the cattle
after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after
its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort. 15 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 went in, went in male and female of all
flesh, as God commanded him: and Jehovah shut him in. 17 And the flood was
forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and
it was lifted up above the earth. 18 And the waters prevailed, and
increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the
waters. 19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all
the high mountains that were under the whole heaven were covered.
20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were
covered. 21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both birds, and
cattle, and beasts, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth,
and every man: 22 all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of
life, of all that was on the dry land, died. 23 And every living thing was
destroyed that was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and
creeping things, and birds of the heavens; and they were destroyed from the
earth: and Noah only was left, and they that were with him in the ark.
24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.
