Chapter 7

And the LORD said⁴ unto Noah, Come³ thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen¹ righteous before me in this generation.

Of every clean beast thou shalt take⁴ to thee by sevens, ⁷⁶⁵¹ the male and his female: and of beasts that [are] not clean ¹⁹³¹ by two, the male and his female.

Of fowls also of the air by sevens, ⁷⁶⁵¹ the male and the female; to keep seed alive¹⁵ upon the face of all the earth.

For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain⁵⁶ upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made¹ will I destroy¹ from off the face of the earth.

And Noah did⁴ according unto all that the LORD commanded¹⁴ him.

And Noah [was] six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.

And Noah went in,⁴ 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 creepeth⁶ upon the earth,

There went in¹ two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded¹⁴ 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 ⁶²⁴⁰ day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up,⁸ and the windows of heaven were opened.⁸

And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

In the selfsame day entered¹ 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 creepeth⁶ upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.

And they went in⁴ unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein [is] the breath of life.

And they that went in,⁶ went in¹ male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded¹⁴ him: and the LORD shut⁴ him in.

And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased,⁴ and bare up⁴ the ark, and it was lift up⁴ above the earth.

And the waters prevailed,⁴ and were increased⁴ greatly upon the earth; and the ark went⁴ upon the face of the waters.

And the waters prevailed¹ exceedingly ³⁹⁶⁶ upon the earth; and all the high hills, that [were] under the whole heaven, were covered.²⁹

Fifteen ²⁵⁶⁸ cubits upward did the waters prevail;¹ and the mountains were covered.²⁹

And all flesh died⁴ that moved⁶ upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth⁶ upon the earth, and every man:

All in whose nostrils [was] the breath ⁷³⁰⁷ of life, of all that [was] in the dry [land], died.¹

And every living substance was destroyed¹¹ 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 destroyed¹¹ from the earth: and Noah only remained¹¹ [alive], and they that [were] with him in the ark.

And the waters prevailed⁴ upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
