7:1 And the LORD said to Noah, Come thou and all thy house into
the ark: for thee have I seen righteous before me in this
generation.
7:2 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.
7:3 Of fowls of the air also by sevens, the male and the female;
to keep seed alive on the face of all the earth.
7:4 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 the face of the earth.
7:5 And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him.
7:6 And Noah [was] six hundred years old when the flood of
waters was on the earth.
7:7 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.
7:8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that [are] not clean, and of
fowls, and of every animal that creepeth upon the earth;
7:9 There went in two and two to Noah into the ark, the male and
the female, as God had commanded Noah.
7:10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of
the flood were upon the earth.
7:11 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.
7:12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty
nights.
7:13 In the same 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.
7:14 They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle
after their kind, and every creeping animal that creepeth upon
the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every
bird of every sort.
7:15 And they went in to Noah into the ark, two and two of all
flesh, in which [is] the breath of life.
7:16 And they that entered, went in male and female of all
flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
7:17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth: and the waters
increased, and bore up the ark, and it was lifted above the
earth.
7:18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon
the earth: and the ark moved upon the face of the waters.
7:19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and
all the high hills that [were] under the whole heaven were
covered.
7:20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail: and the
mountains were covered.
7:21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl,
and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping animal that
creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
7:22 All in whose nostrils [was] the breath of life, of all that
[was] on the dry [land], died.
7:23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the
face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping
animals, and the fowl of heaven; and they were destroyed from
the earth; and Noah only remained [alive], and they that [were]
with him in the ark.
7:24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty
days.
