1Then the LORD<3068> said<559> to Noah<5146>, "Enter<935> the ark<8392>, you and all<3605> your household<1004>, for you alone I have seen<7200> to be righteous<6662> before<6440> Me in this<2088> time<1755>.
2"You shall take<3947> with you of every<3605> clean<2889> animal<929> by sevens<7651>, a male<376> and his female<802>; and of the animals<929> that are not clean<2889> two<8147>, a male<376> and his female<802>;
3also<1571> of the birds<5775> of the sky<8064>, by sevens<7651>, male<2145> and female<5347>, to keep<2421> offspring<2233> alive<2421> on the face<6440> of all<3605> the earth<776>.
4"For after seven<7651> more<5750> days<3117>, I will send<4305> rain<4305> on the earth<776> forty<705> days<3117> and forty<705> nights<3915>; and I will blot<4229> out from the face<6440> of the land<127> every<3605> living<3351> thing<3351> that I have made<6213>."
5Noah<5146> did<6213> according to all<3605> that the LORD<3068> had commanded<6680> him.
6Now Noah<5146> was six<8337> hundred<3967> years<8141> old<1121> when the flood<3999> of water<4325> came<1961> upon the earth<776>.
7Then Noah<5146> and his sons<1121> and his wife<802> and his sons'<1121> wives<802> with him entered<935> the ark<8392> because<4480><6440> of the water<4325> of the flood<3999>.
8Of clean<2889> animals<929> and animals<929> that are not clean<2889> and birds<5775> and everything<3605> that creeps<7430> on the ground<127>,
9there went<935> into the ark<8392> to Noah<5146> by twos<8147>, male<2145> and female<5347>, as God<430> had commanded<6680> Noah<5146>.
10It came<1961> about after the seven<7651> days<3117>, that the water<4325> of the flood<3999> came<1961> upon the earth<776>.
11In the six<8337> hundredth<3967> year<8141> of Noah's<5146> life<2425>, in the second<8145> month<2320>, on the seventeenth<7651><6240> day<3117> of the month<2320>, on the same<2088> day<3117> all<3605> the fountains<4599> of the great<7227> deep<8415> burst<1234> open<1234>, and the floodgates<699> of the sky<8064> were opened<6605>.
12The rain<1653> fell<1961> upon the earth<776> for forty<705> days<3117> and forty<705> nights<3915>.
13On the very<6106> same<6106> day<3117> Noah<5146> and Shem<8035> and Ham<2526> and Japheth<3315>, the sons<1121> of Noah<5146>, and Noah's<5146> wife<802> and the three<7969> wives<802> of his sons<1121> with them, entered<935> the ark<8392>,
14they and every<3605> beast<2421> after its kind<4327>, and all<3605> the cattle<929> after their kind<4327>, and every<3605> creeping<7431> thing<7431> that creeps<7430> on the earth<776> after its kind<4327>, and every<3605> bird<5775> after its kind<4327>, all<3605> sorts<3671> of birds<6833>.
15So they went<935> into the ark<8392> to Noah<5146>, by twos<8147> of all<3605> flesh<1320> in which<834> was the breath<7307> of life<2425>.
16Those that entered<935>, male<2145> and female<5347> of all<3605> flesh<1320>, entered<935> as God<430> had commanded<6680> him; and the LORD<3068> closed<5462> it behind<1157> him.
17Then the flood<3999> came<1961> upon the earth<776> for forty<705> days<3117>, and the water<4325> increased<7235> and lifted<5375> up the ark<8392>, so that it rose<7311> above<4480><5921> the earth<776>.
18The water<4325> prevailed<1396> and increased<7235> greatly<3966> upon the earth<776>, and the ark<8392> floated<1980> on the surface<6440> of the water<4325>.
19The water<4325> prevailed<1396> more<3966> and more<3966> upon the earth<776>, so that all<3605> the high<1364> mountains<2022> everywhere<3605> under<8478> the heavens<8064> were covered<3680>.
20The water<4325> prevailed<1396> fifteen<2568><6240> cubits<520> higher<4605>, and the mountains<2022> were covered<3680>.
21All<3605> flesh<1320> that moved<7430> on the earth<776> perished<1478>, birds<5775> and cattle<929> and beasts<2421> and every<3605> swarming<8318> thing<8318> that swarms<8317> upon the earth<776>, and all<3605> mankind<120>;
22of all<3605> that was on the dry<2724> land<2724>, all<3605> in whose<834> nostrils<639> was the breath<5397> of the spirit<7307> of life<2425>, died<4191>.
23Thus He blotted<4229> out every<3605> living<3351> thing<3351> that was upon the face<6440> of the land<127>, from man<120> to animals<929> to creeping<7431> things<7431> and to birds<5775> of the sky<8064>, and they were blotted<4229> out from the earth<776>; and only<389> Noah<5146> was left<7604>, together with those that were with him in the ark<8392>.
24The water<4325> prevailed<1396> upon the earth<776> one hundred<3967> and fifty<2572> days<3117>.
