1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou, and all thy family into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation;
2 And take all the clean cattle according to the seven, the male and the female, and of the unclean livestock, two, male and female;
3 Also of the birds of the air according to the seven, male and female, to save the tribe for the whole earth,
4 For seven days I will pour out rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; And I will destroy all that exist that I created, from the face of the earth.

5 Noah did all that the Lord commanded him.
6th Noah was six hundred years old, as the flood of water came to earth.
7th And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him into the ark, from the waters of the flood.
8 And of the cattle of the unclean, and of the unclean, and of all that creep on the earth
9 For a couple, male and female, came to Noah in the ark, as God commanded Noah.
10 After seven days the flood waters came to earth.

eleven In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the springs of the great abyss opened, and the windows of heaven were opened;
12 And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.

13 On this very day Noah entered the ark, and Sim, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them.
14 They, and all the beasts after their kind, and every beast after his kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and all that fly by their kind, are all birds, all winged,
15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, a pair of all flesh, in whom is the spirit of life;
16 And entered the male and female sex of all flesh, as God commanded him. And the Lord shut behind him.

17th And the flood continued on the earth forty days, and the waters increased, and she lifted the ark, and it was exalted above the earth;
18 The water increased and multiplied greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the waters.
19 And the water on the earth increased exceedingly, so that all the high mountains that are under the whole sky were covered;
20 Fifteen cubits rose above them, and the mountains were covered.

21 And all flesh that moved upon the earth was lost, and the birds, and the beasts, and the beasts, and all the creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the people;
22 All that breathed the breath of life in its nostrils on land died.
23 Every creature that was on the surface of the earth was destroyed; From man to beast, and creeping thing, and the birds of the air; all was cut off from the earth; only Noah remained, and what was with him in the ark.
24 The water was on the ground for a hundred and fifty days.
