Genesis 7:13-24

13On the very same day 1Noah 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, 14they and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after 2their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, 3all sorts of birds. 15So they went into the ark to Noah, 4by twos of all flesh in which was the breath of life. 16Those that entered, male and female of all flesh, entered as God had commanded him; and the Lord closed it behind him.

17Then the flood 5came upon the earth for 6forty days, and the water increased and lifted up the ark, so that it rose above the earth. 18The water prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth, and the ark 7floated on the 8surface of the water. 19The water prevailed more and more upon the earth, so that all the high mountains 9everywhere under the heavens were covered. 20The water prevailed fifteen 10cubits higher, 11and the mountains were covered. 2112All flesh that 13moved on the earth perished, birds and cattle and beasts and every swarming thing that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind; 22of all that was on the dry land, all 14in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died. 23Thus He blotted out 15every living thing that was upon the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the 16sky, and they were blotted out from the earth; and only 17Noah was left, together with those that were with him in the ark. 2418The water prevailed upon the earth one hundred and fifty days.
