Genesis, 7

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.

1. Yahweh said to Noah, "Go into the ark, you and all your household, for I see that you are just 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.

2. Of all the clean animals, you are to take with you seven of each kind, male and female, and a pair of unclean animals, a male and a female.

3. Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

3. In the same way for the birds of the air, take seven and seven, male and female, to keep their kind alive over 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 that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.

4. for in seven days I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. I will blot out from the face of the earth all the living creatures I have created."

5. And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.

5. Noah did all as Yahweh had commanded.

6. And Noah [was] six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.

6. Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters covered 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.

7. So Noah went into the ark with his children, his wife and his sons' wives to escape the waters of the flood.

8. Of clean beasts, and of beasts that [are] not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,

8. Clean animals and also unclean, birds, and all that crawls on the earth went into the ark with Noah;

9. There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.

9. they went two and two, male and 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.

10. And after seven days the waters of the flood were over the earth.

11. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

11. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month and on the seventeenth day of the month, all the fountains of the great deep burst forth

12. And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

12. and there was a downpour on the earth lasting 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;

13. On that same day Noah went into the ark, as well as Shem, Ham and Japheth, his sons, and his wife and his daughters-in-law.

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.

14. All the animals according to their kind also entered into the ark, all the cattle, all the creeping things that crawl on the earth and all the birds according to their kind; all that flies and everything with wings.

15. And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein [is] the breath of life.

15. They came to Noah in the ark, two by two, all creatures that had the breath of life in them.

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.

16. And they that went in were male and female just as God had commanded. Then Yahweh closed the door on Noah.

17. And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.

17. The flood lasted for forty days on the earth. The waters rose and lifted the ark and raised it 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.

18. The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth and the ark floated on the surface 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.

19. The water rose more and more above the earth and all the high mountains under the heavens were submerged.

20. Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.

20. The waters had risen and covered the mountains to a depth of more than twenty feet.

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:

21. Every living thing that moved on the earth died: birds, cattle, animals, everything that swarmed on the earth - and all humankind.

22. All in whose nostrils [was] the breath of life, of all that [was] in the dry [land], died.

22. All on the face of the earth that had the breath of life in its nostrils died.

23. 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.

23. Every living being on the face of the earth, men and animals, and creatures that crawl and the birds of the air were wiped off the earth. Only Noah was left and those that were with him in the ark.

24. And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.

24. The waters flooded the earth for one hundred and fifty days.
