King James Version
Genesis • Chapter 7
1
And the Lord said to Noah, "Come, you and all your house, into the ark, for I have seen you as righteous before me in this generation."
2
From all the clean animals, you shall take for yourself seven pairs, male and his female; and from the animals that are not clean, two, a male and his female.
3
Also from the birds of the heavens, seven and seven, male and female, for living creatures, seed upon the face of all the earth.
4
For in seven days more, I will rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe out all living things that I have made from the face of the ground.
5
And Noah did according to all that the Lord commanded.
6
And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood was waters upon the earth.
7
And Noah came, and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him into the ark from before the waters of the flood.
8
From the clean animal and from the animal that is not clean, and from the bird and from all that creeps on the ground.
9
Two by two they came to Noah, to the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noah.
10
And it was for seven days, and 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 were broken up and the windows of heaven were opened.
12
And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.
13
On the very day, Noah came, along with Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them to the ark.
14
They and all the living creatures according to their kinds, and all the beasts according to their kinds, and all the creeping things that creep on the earth according to their kinds, and all the birds according to their kinds, every bird and every winged creature.
15
And they came to Noah, to the ark, two by two, from all flesh in which was the breath of life.
16
And the male and female that came from all flesh, just as God commanded them, the LORD shut them in.
17
And the flood was upon the earth forty days, and the waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it rose above the earth.
18
And the waters prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth, and the ark went on the face of the waters.
19
And the waters prevailed very greatly upon the earth, and all the high mountains that were under all the heavens were covered.
20
Fifteen cubits above was the water, and the mountains were covered.
21
And all flesh that stirs upon the earth, including birds and cattle and beasts and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and all mankind.
22
All that has the breath of the spirit of life in its nostrils, and everything that is on the dry land, died.
23
And He wiped out all existence that was on the face of the ground, from man to beast, to creeping thing and to the birds of the heavens; and they were wiped out from the earth, and only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ark.
24
And the waters prevailed over the earth for one hundred fifty days.
