CHAPTER SEVEN
7:1 And YHVH said to Noah: “Come, you and all your house into the ark; for I have seen you righteous before Me in this generation. 2 Of every clean beast you shall take seven and seven, each with his mate; and of the beasts that are not clean two [and two], each with his mate; 3 of the winged creatures also of the air, seven and seven, male and female; to keep seed alive on the face of all the earth. 4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living thing that I have made I will blot out from off the face of the earth.” 5 And Noah did according to all that YHVH commanded him. 6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was on 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 winged creatures, and of every thing that creeps on the ground, 9 there went in two and two to Noah into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noah. 10 And it came to pass after the seven days, that the waters of the flood were on the earth. 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. 12 And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights. 13 In the selfsame day Noah entered, 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 its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every winged creature after its kind, every bird of every sort. 15 And they went in to Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh in which is the breath of life. 16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; and YHVH shut him in. 17 And the flood was forty days on the earth; and the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth. 18 And the waters prevailed, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ark went on the face of the waters. 19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth; and all the high mountains 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 perished that moved on the earth, both winged creatures, and cattle, and beast, and every swarming thing that swarms on the earth, and every man; 22 all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, whatever was on the dry land, died. 23 And He blotted out every living thing which was on the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and creeping thing, and winged creature of the heaven; and they were blotted out from the earth; and Noah only was left, and they that were with him in the ark. 24 And the waters prevailed on the earth a hundred and fifty days.
