Genesis 7:6-12

6Noah was 600 years old when the deep water covered the earth.

7Noah and his wife went into the ship. His sons and their wives also went in. They all went into the ship to be safe from the deep water.

8Pairs of clean animals and unclean animals came to Noah in the ship. Also, pairs of birds and pairs of all the living things that move across the ground came to him.

9Each pair was one male and one female. They all came to Noah in the ship. Everything happened as God had said to Noah.

10After seven days had passed, God sent the deep water to cover the earth.

11When Noah was 600 years old, on the 17th day of the second month, streams of water came up everywhere from below the earth. Also, the water in the heavens poured down on the earth.

12Rain fell on the earth for 40 days and 40 nights.
