In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, that same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened,

And of clean beasts and of beasts that were unclean and of birds and of all that creepeth upon the earth,

came in by couples of every kind unto Noah into the ark: a male and a female: even as God commanded Noah.

And the seventh day the waters of the flood came upon the earth.

And the selfsame day went Noah, Shem, Ham and Japheth, Noah's sons, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them in to the ark:

and there fell a rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

And they came unto Noah into the ark by couples, of all flesh that had breath of life in it.

And the flood came forty days and forty nights upon the earth, and the water increased and bare up the ark and it was lift up from off the earth.

And the waters prevailed upon the earth, a hundred and fifty days.

And Noah went, and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him, into the ark from the waters of the flood.

and Noah was six hundred years old, when the flood of water came upon the earth.

And the LORD said unto Noah, "Go into the ark both thou and all thy household. For thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him:

likewise of the birds of the air seven of every kind, male and female to save seed upon all the earth.

Of all clean beasts take unto thee seven of every kind, the male and his female, and of unclean beasts a pair, the male and his female:
