Genesis 7
And the Lord said to him: Go in thou and all thy house
into the ark: for thee I have seen just before me in
this generation.
Of all clean beasts take seven and seven, the male and
female.
But of the beasts that are unclean two and two, the
male and female. Of the fowls also of the air seven
and seven,the male and the female: that seed may be
saved upon the face of the whole earth.
For yet a while, and after seven days, I will rain upon
the earth forty days and forty nights; and I will destroy
every substance that I have made, from the face of the
earth.
And Noe did all things which the Lord had commanded
him.
And he was six hundred years old, when the waters of
the flood overflowed the earth.
And Noe went in and his sons, his wife and the wives
of his sons with him into the ark, because of the waters
of the flood.
And of the beasts clean and unclean, and of fowls, and
of every thing that moveth upon the earth,
Two and two went in to Noe into the ark, male and female,
as the Lord had commanded Noe.
And after seven days were passed, the waters of the
flood overflowed the earth.
In the six hundreth year of the life of Noe in the second
month, in the seventeenth day of the month, all the
fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the
flood gates of heaven were open:
And the rain fell upon the earth forty days and forty
nights.
In the selfsame day Noe, and Sem, and Cham, and Japheth
his sons: his wife, and the three wives of his sons
with them, went into the ark:
They and every beast according to its kind, and all
the cattle in their kind, and every thing that moveth
upon the earth according to its kind, and every fowl
according to its kind, and every fowl according to its
kind, all birds, and all that fly.
Went in to Noe into the ark, two and two of all flesh,
wherein was the breath of life.
And they that went in, went in male and female of all
flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him
in on the outside.
And the flood was forty days upon the earth, and the
waters increased, and lifted up the ark on high from
earth.
For they overflowed exceedingly: and filled all on the
face of the earth: and the ark was carried upon the
waters.
And the waters prevailed beyond measure upon the earth:
and all the high mountains under the whole heaven were
covered.
The water was fifteen cubits higher than the mountains
which it covered.
And all flesh was destroyed that moved upon the earth,
both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beasts, and of all
creeping things that creep upon the earth: and all men.
And all things wherein there is the breath of life on
the earth, died.
And he destroyed all the substance that was upon the
earth, from man to beast, and the creeping things and
fowls of the air: and they were destroyed from the earth:
and Noe only remained, and they that were with him in
the ark.
And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and
fifty days. |
