7
1 And the Lord said to Noach, Enter thou and all the men of thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before Me in this generation. 2 Of all clean animals take thou seven and seven, male and female; and of animals not clean, two and two, male and female. 3 Also of the fowls of heaven, seven and seven, male and female, to continue the seed upon the face of all the earth. 4 Because yet a time of seven days and I will cause rain to descend upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will blot out every subsistence which I have made upon all the face of the earth. 5 And Noach did according to all that the Lord had instructed him.
6 And Noach was a son of six hundred years; and the deluge of waters was upon the earth. 7 And Noach entered, and his sons, and his wife, and the wives of his sons with him, into the ark from before the water of the deluge. 8 Of animals clean, and of animals not clean, and of birds, and of all which creepeth upon the earth, 9 two and two, they entered with Noach into the ark, male and female, as the Lord had instructed Noach. 10 And it was at the time of seven days, and the waters of the deluge were upon the earth.
11 In the six-hundredth year of the life of Noach, in the second month, in the seven-teenth day of the month, in that day were all the springs of the great abyss upbroken, and the windows of heaven opened, 12 and the rain came down upon the earth forty days and forty nights. 13 In that very day entered Noach, and Shem, Cham, and Yapheth, sons of Noach, and the wife of Noach, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark; 14 They, and every animal after his kind, and all cattle after its kind, and every, reptile which creepeth upon the earth after its kind, and every fowl after its kind, every bird, everyone that flieth: 15 And they entered with Noach into the ark, two and two of all flesh in which is the breath of life; 16 And they, entering, male and female of all flesh, entered, as the Lord had commanded him, and the Lord protected them by His Word.
17 And there was a deluge forty days upon the earth, and the waters increased, and took up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth. 18 And the waters prevailed and increased mightily upon the earth, and the ark went upon the faces of the waters. 19 And the waters prevailed most mightily over the earth, and all the high hills were covered which were under all the heavens. 20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail, and the mountains were covered; 21 And all flesh died which moved upon the earth, of fowl, and of cattle, and of the wild beast, and of every reptile which creepeth upon the earth, and every man. 22 Everything in whose nostrils was the breath of the Spirit of life, of all which was upon the dry ground, died. 23 And every subsistence was blotted out that was upon the faces of the earth, from man to the beast, to the reptile, and to the fowl of heaven, it was blotted out from the earth, and Noach was left alone, and they who were with him in the ark. 24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
