Genesis 7

The Lord told Noah, “Come, you and all of your household, into the ark; for I have seen
You are righteous before me in this generation. Take seven pairs of each beast clean,
Both the males and their mates, and of each unclean beast, only two, just one male and his mate.
And from birds of the sky, seven pairs, male and female, so seeds on earth can propagate.
For in seven days I will cause rain on the earth, lasting forty days and forty nights,
And I will blot out all of the living things that I have made from the earth and my sight.”
Noah did so, according to everything exactly as the Lord God had commanded.
And so Noah was six hundred years when the Flood came, and waters on the earth expanded.

Noah came, with his sons, wife, and son’s wives, into the ark before the Flood’s waters rose.
From the animals clean and unclean, birds, and crawling things, two of each came, in two rows.
They came two by two into the ark, male and female, as God had commanded to Noah.
After seven days came the Flood’s waters upon the earth, drenching like never before.
In the six hundredth year of the life of Noah, on the second month, seventeenth day,
All the fountains beneath the great deep burst forth, and heaven’s floodgates and sluices gave way.

The rain fell on the earth forty days, forty nights. That same day, Noah came with his sons
Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and Noah’s wife, and his three sons’ wives into the ark all at once.
Them and all wildlife after their kind, all cattle, all things that creep, all things that crawl,
All birds after their kind, and all chirping things, and all things that take to wing in a squall.
They came into the ark to Noah, two and two each of all flesh containing life’s breath.
(Every wildlife beast, from the greatest to least, into the ark to be saved from death.)
And those that came, male and female from all flesh they came, as God commanded him.
Then God closed the door, shutting in Noah (because the Flood’s waters were too great to swim).

The flood was on the earth for a full forty days. Waters increased and lifted the ark,
It was raised high above the earth; the waters grew and swelled greatly. (None could disembark.)
The ark floated on waters, and when waters had swelled exceedingly over the earth,
Every mountain so high that was under the sky was now covered by the water’s girth.
Fifteen cubits higher swelled the waters, the mountains were covered by waters so rife.
Then all flesh that moves on the earth perished — the birds, cattle, beasts, and all the wildlife,
All the swarming things that like to swarm on the earth, and then even the whole of mankind.
All things that had life’s breath in their nostrils, all that once was on the dry, firm ground had died.
So He blotted out all living things upon earth, man and beast, things that creep in the dark,
Even birds. All were wiped out from earth. Only Noah remained, and his crew on the ark.
