Genesis 7
1AND when he had done so, the Lord God said to Noe, “Go into the ark, thou and all thy family, for I have seen thee righteous before Me in this generation.
2And of all the cattle which are clean take thee seven pairs, a male with a female, and of all the cattle which are not clean, pairs, a male with a female;
3and of the birds of the air which are clean, seven pairs, male and female, and of all the birds which are not clean, pairs, male and female, to nourish seed on the earth.
4For yet seven days and I bring rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights. And I will blot out from the face of the whole earth all the raised which I made.”
5And Noe did all that the Lord God commanded him.
6Now Noe was six hundred years old when the deluge of water came on the earth.
7And Noe and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him went into the ark on account of the water of the deluge.
8And of the fowls which were clean and of the fowls which were not clean, and of the beasts which were clean and of the beasts which were not clean, and of all the reptiles which creep on the earth,
9pairs went to Noe into the ark, a male with a female as God commanded Noe.
10And it came to pass after the seven days that the water of the flood came on the earth.
11In the six hundredth year of Noe’s life, the second month and twenty-seventh day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the abyss were burst open and the cataracts of heaven were opened,
12and there came rain on the earth forty days and forty nights.
13On that day Noe, Sem, Cham, Japheth, the sons of Noe, and Noe’s wife and the three wives of his sons with him went into the ark:
14And all the beasts according to kind, and all the cattle according to kind, and every moving reptile on the earth according to its kind, and every kind of winged fowls
15went to Noe into the ark, two and two, a male and a female of all flesh in which is the breath of life.
16And when they, that were going in, male and female of all flesh, had gone in as God commanded Noe, the Lord shut up the ark on the outside,
17and the deluge came on the earth forty days and forty nights. And the water increased exceedingly and lifted up the ark, and it was raised up from the earth.
18And the water prevailed and was exceedingly increased on the earth: And the ark was borne up above the water.
19Still the water prevailed more and more on the earth and covered all the high mountains which were under the heaven.
20Fifteen cubits above was the water raised when it had covered all the high mountains.
21And all animate flesh on the earth of fowls and cattle and wild beasts and every moving reptile on the earth and every man died.
22Everything which hath the breath of life, even everything which was on the dry land died.
23It swept away everything raised up, which was on the face of the earth, man and cattle and reptiles and the fowls of the air. They were swept away from the earth, and Noe alone was left and they who were with him in the ark.
24And the water was raised up above the earth a hundred and fifty days.
