“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. 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. 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. 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.”
“5 And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him. 6 And
Noah [was] six hundred years old when the flood of waters was 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 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, 9 There went in two and two
unto Noah into the ark, the male and the 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.”
“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. 12 And the
rain was upon the earth 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; 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. 15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all
flesh, wherein [is] the breath of life. 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.”
“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. 18
And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and
the ark went upon the face 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. 20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters
prevail; and the mountains were covered.”
“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: 22 All in whose nostrils [was] the breath of life,
of all that [was] in the dry [land], 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. 24 And the waters prevailed upon the
earth an hundred and fifty days.” (Ge 7:1-24 AV)
