1 Then the Lord said to Noah, 'Enter the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before me in this generation.'

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.

2 Of every clean animal, take with you seven pairs, each male and its female, and of the animals that are not clean, take two, each male and its female.

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.

3 Also take seven pairs of the birds of the sky, male and female, to keep their offspring alive on the face of all the earth.

Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

4 For in seven days I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe out every living thing I have made from the face of the ground.

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.

5 And Noah did everything as the Lord commanded him.

And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.

6 Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters came upon the earth.

And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.

7 Noah, along with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives, entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood.

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.

8 From the clean animals, from the animals that are not clean, from the birds, and from everything that crawls on the ground,

Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,

9 two by two they came to Noah and entered the ark, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.

There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.

10 And after seven days, the waters of the flood came upon the earth.

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, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the windows of the heavens were opened.

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 fell on the earth for forty days and forty nights.

And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

13 On that very day, Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, along with Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons, entered the ark.

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 wild animal according to its kind, all the livestock according to their kinds, every crawling thing that crawls on the ground according to its kind, and every bird according to its kind—all winged creatures—came.

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 They came to Noah and entered the ark, two by two of all flesh in which there was the breath of life.

And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.

16 Those entering, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded him, and the Lord shut him in.

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 The flood continued on the earth for forty days. The waters rose and lifted the ark, and it was raised high above the earth.

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 The waters prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the waters.

And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.

19 The waters prevailed greatly on the earth, covering all the high mountains under the entire sky.

And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.

20 The waters rose to a height of fifteen cubits above the mountains, covering them completely.

Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.

21 Every living creature that moved on the earth perished—birds, livestock, wild animals, all creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind.

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 Everything on dry land that had the breath of life in its nostrils died.

All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.

23 Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out—human beings, animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth, and only Noah and those with him in the ark remained.

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 The waters prevailed on the earth for one hundred and fifty days.

And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
