📚And the LORD said to Noah, “You, and all your household, come into the ark. For I have seen you as righteous in my eyes in this generation. 2 📚✭You shall take for yourself seven of every clean beast, the male and its female, and two of beasts that are unclean, the male and its female, 3 also seven each of the birds of the air, the male and the female, to keep offspring alive on the surface of the whole earth. 4 📚For in seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will destroy from the surface of the earth every living substance that I have made”.5 📚And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him.
6 📚And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was on the earth. 7 📚And Noah went into the ark, and with him, his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives, because of the waters of the flood. 8 Of clean beasts and of unclean beasts and of birds and of every creeping thing on the earth, 9 📚two by two, the male and the female, went in to Noah into the ark, as God had commanded Noah. 10 📚And it came about after 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, the seventeenth day of the month, that very 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 📚On that very day Noah and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, went into the ark, 14 📚they, and every beast according to its kind, and all the cattle according to their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth according to its kind, and every bird according to its kind, every bird of every sort. 15 📚And they went into the ark to Noah, two by two of all flesh which had the breath of life. 16 📚✭And those that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him. And the LORD shut him in.
17 📚And the flood kept coming on the earth for forty days, and the waters increased, and lifted up the ark, and it rose up above the earth. 18 📚And the waters were powerful and greatly increased on the earth, and the ark went on the surface of the waters. 19 📚And the waters grew exceedingly powerful on the earth, and all the high mountains✭ that were under the whole heaven, were covered. 20 📚The waters powerfully rose fifteen cubits✭ higher, and the mountains were covered.
21 📚And all flesh that moved on the earth, both of fowl and of cattle and of beast and of every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man, died. 22 📚All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was on the dry land, died. 23 📚And every living thing which was on the face of the earth was destroyed, both man and cattle and creeping things and the birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth, and only Noah, and those who were with him in the ark, remained alive.
24 📚✭And the waters remained powerful on the earth for a hundred and fifty days.
