And the
Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house
into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous
before me in this generation.
02 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to
thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of
beasts that are not clean by two, the male and
his female.
03 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the
male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the
face of all the earth.
04 For yet seven days, and I will cause it
to rain upon the earth forty days and forty
nights; and every living substance that I have
made will I destroy from off the face of the
earth.
05 And Noah did according unto all that the
Lord commanded him.
06 And Noah was six hundred years old when
the flood of waters was upon the earth.
07 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.
08 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are
not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that
creepeth upon the earth,
09 There went in two and two unto Noah into
the ark, the male and the female, as God had
commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days,
that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's
life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of
the month, the same day were all the fountains of
the great deep broken up, and the windows of
heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty
days and forty nights.
13 In the selfsame day entered 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;

14 They, and every beast after his kind,
and all the cattle after their kind, and every
creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after
his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every
bird of every sort.
15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark,
two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath
of life.
16 And they 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 was forty days upon the
earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the
ark, and it was lift up above the earth.
18 And the waters prevailed, and were
increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark
went upon the face of the waters.
19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly
upon the earth; and all the high hills, 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 died that moved upon the
earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast,
and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon
the earth, and every man:
22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of
life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
23 And every living substance was destroyed
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 destroyed from the
earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they
that were with him in the ark.
24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth
an hundred and fifty days.
