Genesis 7
7:1 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.
7:2 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:
7:3 of the birds also of the heavens, seven and seven, male and female, to keep
seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
7:4 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.
7:5 And Noah did according unto all that Jehovah commanded him.
7:6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the
earth.
7:7 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.
7:8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of birds, and of
everything that creepeth upon the ground,
7:9 there went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, male and female, as God
commanded Noah.
7:10 And it came to pass after the seven days, that the waters of the flood were
upon the earth.
7:11 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.
7:12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
7:13 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;
7:14 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.
7:15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh wherein
is the breath of life.
7:16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God
commanded him: and Jehovah shut him in.
7:17 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.
7:18 And the waters prevailed, and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark
went upon the face of the waters.
7:19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high
mountains that were under the whole heaven were covered.
7:20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were
covered.
7:21 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:
7:22 all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of all that was
on the dry land, died.
7:23 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.
7:24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.
