1And Jehovah said to Noah, Come into the ark, you and all your house, for I have seen you as being righteous before Me in this generation. 2You shall take unto you of every clean animal seven and seven, a male and his female; and two each of animals that are not clean, a male and his female; 3also seven and seven of the flying creatures of the heavens, male and female, to keep seed alive on the face of all the earth. 4For after seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will obliterate from off the face of the earth all living substance that I have made. 5And Noah did according to all that Jehovah commanded him. 6Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. 7So Noah, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, went into the ark because of the waters of the flood. 8Of clean animals, of animals that are not clean, of flying creatures, and of everything that moves upon the earth, 9two by two they went into the ark to Noah, male and female, as God had commanded Noah. 10And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. 11In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of the heavens were opened. 12And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. 13On the very same day Noah and Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark; 14they and every living thing after its kind, all animals after their kind, every creeping thing that moves on the earth after its kind, and every flying creature after its kind, every bird of every wing. 15And they went into the ark to Noah, two by two, of all flesh in which is the breath of life. 16So those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded him. And Jehovah shut him in. 17And the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it was high above the earth. 18The waters prevailed and greatly increased upon the earth, and the ark moved about upon the surface of the waters. 19And the waters prevailed with abundant force upon the earth, and all the high hills under the heavens were covered. 20The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered. 21And all flesh died that moved on the earth: flying creatures and animals and living things and every creeping thing that moves on the earth, and every man. 22All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, all that was on the dry land, died. 23So He obliterated all living substance which was on the face of the ground: both man and animal, creeping thing and flying creatures of the heavens. They were obliterated from off the earth. Only Noah and those who were with him in the ark were left alive. 24And the waters prevailed upon the earth one hundred and fifty days.
