1 T hen the Lord said to Noah, “Enter the ark, you and all your household, for you alone I have seen to be righteous before Me in this time.

And Jehovah saith to Noah, `Come in, thou and all thy house, unto the ark, for thee I have seen righteous before Me in this generation;

2 Y ou shall take with you of every clean animal by sevens, a male and his female; and of the animals that are not clean two, a male and his female;

of all the clean beasts thou dost take to thee seven pairs, a male and its female; and of the beasts which are not clean two, a male and its female;

3 a lso of the birds of the sky, by sevens, male and female, to keep offspring alive on the face of all the earth.

also, of fowl of the heavens seven pairs, a male and a female, to keep alive seed on the face of all the earth;

4 F or after seven more days, I will send rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; and I will blot out from the face of the land every living thing that I have made.”

for after other seven days I am sending rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and have wiped away all the substance that I have made from off the face of the ground.'

5 N oah did according to all that the Lord had commanded him.

And Noah doth according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him:

6 N ow Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of water came upon the earth.

and Noah a son of six hundred years, and the deluge of waters hath been upon the earth.

7 T hen Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him entered the ark because of the water of the flood.

And Noah goeth in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, unto the ark, from the presence of the waters of the deluge;

8 O f clean animals and animals that are not clean and birds and everything that creeps on the ground,

of the clean beasts and of the beasts that not clean, and of the fowl, and of every thing that is creeping upon the ground,

9 t here went into the ark to Noah by twos, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.

two by two they have come in unto Noah, unto the ark, a male and a female, as God hath commanded Noah.

10 I t came about after the seven days, that the water of the flood came upon the earth.

And it cometh to pass, after the seventh of the days, that waters of the deluge have been on the earth.

11 I n the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened.

In the six hundredth year of the life of Noah, in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, in this day have been broken up all fountains of the great deep, and the net-work of the heavens hath been opened,

12 T he rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.

and the shower is on the earth forty days and forty nights.

13 O n the very same day Noah and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark,

In this self-same day went in Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, sons of Noah, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them, unto the ark;

14 t hey and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, all sorts of birds.

they, and every living creature after its kind, and every beast after its kind, and every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth after its kind, and every fowl after its kind, every bird -- every wing.

15 S o they went into the ark to Noah, by twos of all flesh in which was the breath of life.

And they come in unto Noah, unto the ark, two by two of all the flesh in which a living spirit;

16 T hose that entered, male and female of all flesh, entered as God had commanded him; and the Lord closed it behind him.

and they that are coming in, male and female of all flesh, have come in as God hath commanded him, and Jehovah doth close for him.

17 T hen the flood came upon the earth for forty days, and the water increased and lifted up the ark, so that it rose above the earth.

And the deluge is forty days on the earth, and the waters multiply, and lift up the ark, and it is raised up from off the earth;

18 T he water prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water.

and the waters are mighty, and multiply exceedingly upon the earth; and the ark goeth on the face of the waters.

19 T he water prevailed more and more upon the earth, so that all the high mountains everywhere under the heavens were covered.

And the waters have been very very mighty on the earth, and covered are all the high mountains which under the whole heavens;

20 T he water prevailed fifteen cubits higher, and the mountains were covered.

fifteen cubits upwards have the waters become mighty, and the mountains are covered;

21 A ll flesh that moved on the earth perished, birds and cattle and beasts and every swarming thing that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind;

and expire doth all flesh that is moving on the earth, among fowl, and among cattle, and among beasts, and among all the teeming things which are teeming on the earth, and all mankind;

22 o f all that was on the dry land, all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died.

all in whose nostrils breath of a living spirit -- of all that in the dry land -- have died.

23 T hus He blotted out every living thing that was upon the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky, and they were blotted out from the earth; and only Noah was left, together with those that were with him in the ark.

And wiped away is all the substance that is on the face of the ground, from man unto beast, unto creeping thing, and unto fowl of the heavens; yea, they are wiped away from the earth, and only Noah is left, and those who with him in the ark;

24 T he water prevailed upon the earth one hundred and fifty days.

and the waters are mighty on the earth a hundred and fifty days.
