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
.
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
.
Of fowls also of the air
by sevens
, the male
and the female
; to keep
seed
alive
upon the face
of all the earth
.
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
.
And Noah did
according unto all that the LORD
commanded
him.
And Noah was six
hundred
years
old
when the flood
of waters
was upon the earth
.
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
.
Of clean beasts
, and of beasts
that are not clean
, and of fowls
, and of every thing that creepeth
upon the earth
,
There went in two
and two
unto Noah
into the ark
, the male
and the female
, as
God
had commanded
Noah
.
And it came to pass after seven days
, that the waters
of the flood
were upon the earth
.
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
.
And the rain was upon the earth
forty
days
and forty
nights
.
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
;
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
.
And they went in unto Noah
into the ark
, two
and two
of all flesh
, wherein
is the breath
of life
.
And they that went in, went in
male
and female
of all flesh
, as God
had commanded
him: and the LORD
shut him in
.
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
.
And the waters prevailed
, and were increased
greatly
upon the earth
; and the ark
went
upon the face
of the waters
.
And the waters prevailed
exceedingly
upon the earth
; and all the high
hills
, that were under
the whole heaven
, were covered
.
Fifteen cubits
upward
did the waters
prevail
; and the mountains
were covered
.
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
:
All in whose nostrils was the breath
of life
, of all that was in the dry
land , died
.
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
.
And the waters prevailed
upon the earth
an hundred
and fifty
days
.
