In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the sources of the watery depths burst open, the floodgates of the sky were opened,

From the clean animals, unclean animals, birds, and every creature that crawls on the ground,

two of each, male and female, entered the ark with Noah, just as God had commanded him.

Seven days later the waters of the flood came on the earth.

On that same day Noah along with his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, Noah’s wife, and his three sons’ wives entered the ark with him.

and the rain fell on the earth 40 days and 40 nights.

Two of all flesh that has the breath of life in it entered the ark with Noah.

The flood continued for 40 days on the earth; the waters increased and lifted up the ark so that it rose above the earth.

They entered it with all the wildlife according to their kinds, all livestock according to their kinds, the creatures that crawl on the earth according to their kinds, all birds, every fowl, and everything with wings according to their kinds.

Seven days from now I will make it rain on the earth 40 days and 40 nights, and I will wipe off from the face of the earth every living thing I have made.”

And the waters surged on the earth 150 days.

So Noah, his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives entered the ark because of the waters of the flood.

Noah was 600 years old when the flood came and water covered the earth.

Then the Lord said to Noah, “Enter the ark, you and all your household, for I have seen that you alone are righteous before Me in this generation.

And Noah did everything that the Lord commanded him.

and seven pairs, male and female, of the birds of the sky—in order to keep offspring alive on the face of the whole earth.

You are to take with you seven pairs, a male and its female, of all the clean animals, and two of the animals that are not clean, a male and its female,
