1 And the
LORD 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
by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two,
the male and his female.
3 Of fowls
also of the air, clean flying creatures
of the sky, by sevens, the male and the female; and of all unclean flying creatures pairs, 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 substance, every
offspring, that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
5 And Noah
did according unto all that the LORD 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 fowls, of clean flying creatures and of unclean flying creatures, and of
every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went
in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had
commanded Noah.
10 And it
came to pass after 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, the seventeenth [twenty-seventh] day of the month, the
same day were all the fountains of the great deep, the abyss, 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 his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping
thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind,
every bird of every sort.
15 And they
went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two, male and female, 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 had commanded him:
and the LORD shut him in. God shut the
ark outside of him.
17 And the
flood was forty days and forty nights
upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift
up above the earth.
18 And the
waters prevailed, and were 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 hills, that were
under the whole heaven, were covered.
20 Fifteen
cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the high mountains were covered.
21 And all
flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of
beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
22 All in
whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
23 [And [God] blotted out every offspring which
was upon the face of the Earth] And every living substance was destroyed
which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping
things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and
Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
24 And the
waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
