1The Lord <03068> said <0559> to Noah <05146>, “Come <0935> into <0413> the ark <08392>, you <0859> and all <03605> your household <01004>, for <03588> I consider <07200> you godly <06662> among <06440> this <02088> generation <01755>.
2You must take <03947> with you seven <07651> of every <03605> kind of clean <02889> animal <0929>, the male <0376> and its mate <0802>, two <08147> of every kind of unclean <02889> <03808> animal <0929>, the male <0376> and its mate <0802>,
3and also <01571> seven <07651> <07651> of every kind of bird <05775> in the sky <08064>, male <02145> and female <05347>, to preserve <02421> their offspring <02233> on <05921> the face <06440> of the earth <0776>.
4For <03588> in seven <07651> days <03117> I <0595> will cause it to rain <04305> on <05921> the earth <0776> for forty <0705> days <03117> and forty <0705> nights <03915>, and I will wipe <04229> from <05921> the face <06440> of the ground <0127> every <03605> living thing <03351> that <0834> I have made <06213>.”
5And Noah <05146> did <06213> all <03605> that <0834> the Lord <03068> commanded <06680> him.
6Noah <05146> was 600 <03967> <08337> years <08141> old <01121> when the floodwaters <04325> <03999> engulfed <05921> <01961> the earth <0776>.
7Noah <05146> entered <0935> the ark <08392> along with his sons <01121>, his wife <0802>, and his sons <01121>’ wives <0802> because of the floodwaters <03999> <04325>.
8Pairs of clean <02889> animals <0929>, of unclean <02889> <0369> animals <0929>, of birds <05775>, and of everything <03605> that <0834> creeps <07430> along <05921> the ground <0127>,
9male <02145> and female <05347>, came <0935> into <0413> the ark <08392> to Noah <05146>, just as <0834> God <0430> had commanded <06680> him <05146>.
10And after <01961> seven <07651> days <03117> the floodwaters <03999> <04325> engulfed <05921> <01961> the earth <0776>.
11In <08141> the six <08337> hundredth <03967> year <08141> of Noah’s <05146> life <02416>, in the second <08145> month <02320>, on the seventeenth <06240> <07651> day <03117> of the month <02320>– on that <02088> day <03117> all <03605> the fountains <04599> of the great <07227> deep <08415> burst open <01234> and the floodgates <0699> of the heavens <08064> were opened <06605>.
12And the rain <01653> fell <01961> on <05921> the earth <0776> forty <0705> days <03117> and forty <0705> nights <03915>.
13On that <02088> very <06106> day <03117> Noah <05146> entered <0413> the ark <08392>, accompanied by <0935> his <05146> sons <01121> Shem <08035>, Ham <02526>, and Japheth <03315>, along with his <05146> wife <0802> and his sons <01121>’ three <07969> wives <0802>.
14They <01992> entered, along with every <03605> living creature <02416> after its kind <04327>, every <03605> animal <0929> after its kind <04327>, every <03605> creeping thing <07431> that creeps <07430> on <05921> the earth <0776> after its kind <04327>, and every <03605> bird <06833> <05775> after its kind <04327>, everything <03605> with wings <03671>.
15Pairs <08147> <08147> of all <03605> creatures <01320> that <0834> have the breath <07307> of life <02416> came <0935> into <0413> the ark <08392> to <0413> Noah <05146>.
16Those that entered <0935> were male <02145> and female <05347>, just <0834> as God <0430> commanded <06680> him. Then the Lord <03068> shut <05462> him in.
17The flood <03999> engulfed <01961> the earth <0776> for forty <0705> days <03117>. As the waters <04325> increased <07235>, they lifted <05375> the ark <08392> and raised <07311> it above <05921> the earth <0776>.
18The waters <04325> completely <03966> overwhelmed <07235> <01396> the earth <0776>, and the ark <08392> floated <01980> on <05921> the surface <06440> of the waters <04325>.
19The waters <04325> completely <03966> <03966> inundated <01396> the earth <0776> so that even all <03605> the high <01364> mountains <02022> under <08478> the entire <03605> sky <08064> were covered <03680>.
20The waters <04325> rose <03680> more than twenty feet <0520> <06240> <02568> above <04605> the mountains <02022>.
21And all <03605> living things <01320> that moved <07430> on <05921> the earth <0776> died <01478>, including the birds <05775>, domestic animals <0929>, wild animals <02416>, all <03605> the creatures <08318> that swarm <08317> over <05921> the earth <0776>, and all <03605> humankind <0120>.
22Everything <03605> on dry land <02724> that had the breath <05397> of life <02416> <07307> in its nostrils <0639> died <04191>.
23So the Lord destroyed <04229> every <03605> living thing <03351> that <0834> was on <05921> the surface <06440> of the ground <0127>, including <05704> people <0120>, animals, creatures <0929> that <05704> creep along the ground <07431>, and <05704> birds <05775> of <04480> the sky <08064>. They were wiped off <04229> the earth <0776>. Only <0389> Noah <05146> and those who <0834> were with <0854> him in the ark <08392> survived <07604>.
24The waters <04325> prevailed <01396> over <05921> the earth <0776> for 150 <03967> <02572> days <03117>.
