1 And Yahweh said to Noah, Come, you and all your household, into the ark, for you I have seen righteous before me in this generation. 2 Of every clean animal you shall take with you seven pairs, a male and its female; and of the animals that are not clean two, a male and its female; 3 also of the birds of the sky, seven pairs, male and female, to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. 4 For in seven more days I will bring rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and every living thing that I have made I will destroy from off the face of the ground. 5 And Noah did everything that Yahweh commanded him.
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood came, waters 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 floodwaters. 8 Of clean animals, and of animals that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that crawls on the ground, 9 two by two they went in to Noah into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noah. 10 Now after the seven days, the floodwaters came upon the earth. 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that very day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the windows of the sky were opened. 12And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 That very day Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth – the sons of Noah – and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ark—14 they and every kind of animal, and every kind of livestock, and every kind of crawling thing that crawls upon the earth, and every kind of bird, every bird of every sort. 15 And they went in to Noah into the ark, two by two of all flesh in which is the breath of life. 16 And those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him. And Yahweh shut him in.
17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and lifted up the ark, and it rose up above the earth. 18 And the waters surged, and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark moved across the face of the waters. 19 And the waters utterly overwhelmed the earth, and all the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered. 20 Fifteen cubits higher the waters surged, and the mountains were covered. 21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, among birds, and livestock, and beasts, and every swarming thing that swarms upon the earth, and every man: 22 all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of all that was on the dry land, died. 23 And every living thing was destroyed that was upon the face of the ground, from man, to livestock, to crawling things, and to birds of the sky; and they were destroyed from the earth, and only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ark. 24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth one hundred fifty days.
