1Then the LORD told Noah, "Come—you and all your household—into the ark, because I've seen that you alone are righteous in this generation. 1And 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.
2You are to take with you seven pairs of every clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of the unclean animals, a male and its mate; 2Of 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.
3along with seven pairs of the flying birds, male and female, in order to keep their offspring alive on the surface of all the earth. 3Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
4Seven days from now I'll send rain on the earth for 40 days and 40 nights, and I'll destroy every living creature that I've made."4For 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.
5Noah did everything that the LORD commanded.5And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.
6Noah was 600 years old when water began to flood the earth. 6And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7Noah, his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives entered the ark with him before the flood waters arrived.7And 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.
8From both clean and unclean animals, from birds, and from everything that crawls on the ground, 8Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9two by two, male and female, they entered the ark to join Noah, just as God had commanded.9There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10Seven days later, the flooding started. 10And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11On the seventeenth day of the second month, when Noah was 600 years old, all the springs of the great deep burst open, the floodgates of the heavens were opened, 11In 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.
12and it rained throughout the earth for 40 days and 40 nights. 12And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
13On that very day, Noah entered the ark with his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, Noah's wife, his sons' three wives with them, 13In 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;
14along with every species of wild animal, livestock, crawling creature, bird, and every creature that has wings. 14They, 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.
15Two of each living creature entered the ark with Noah. 15And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
16The males and females of each living creature entered the ark, just as God had commanded. Then the LORD sealed them inside.16And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
17The flood continued throughout the earth for 40 days, while the flood waters increased, lifting the ark so that it rose above the surface of the earth. 17And 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.
18The flood waters continued to surge, increasing throughout the earth, while the ark floated on the surface of the flood water. 18And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
19The flood water surged even higher throughout the earth, until all the highest mountains under the sky were covered. 19And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
20The flood waters rose 15 cubits above the mountains. 20Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
21Every living thing on earth died—flying creatures, livestock, wildlife, all creatures that swarm over the earth, and all human beings. 21And 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:
22Everything that breathed and everything that had lived on dry land died. 22All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
23All existing creatures that had lived on the surface of the ground were annihilated, from humans to livestock, from crawling creatures to birds of the sky. They were wiped off the earth. Only Noah remained, along with those who were with him in the ark. 23And 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.
24The flood waters surged over the earth for 150 days.24And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
