Genesis 7

The Flood

1Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to NoahH5146, “EnterH935 the arkH8392, you and allH3605 your householdH1004, for you alone I have seenH7200 to be 1righteousH6662 beforeH6440 Me in thisH2088 2timeH1755. 2You shall takeH3947 3with you of everyH3605 4cleanH2889 animalH929 5by sevensH7651, a maleH376 and his femaleH802; and of the animalsH929 that are not cleanH2889 twoH8147, a maleH376 and his femaleH802; 3alsoH1571 of the birdsH5775 of the 6skyH8064, 7by sevensH7651, maleH2145 and femaleH5347, to keepH2421 8offspringH2233 aliveH2421 on the faceH6440 of allH3605 the earthH776. 4For after 9sevenH7651 moreH5750 daysH3117, I will sendH4305 rainH4305 on the earthH776 10fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915; and I will blotH4229 out from the faceH6440 of the landH127 11everyH3605 livingH3351 thingH3351 that I have madeH6213.” 512NoahH5146 didH6213 according to allH3605 that the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 him.

6Now NoahH5146 was 13sixH8337 hundredH3967 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when the floodH3999 of waterH4325 14cameH1961 upon the earthH776. 7Then 15NoahH5146 and his sonsH1121 and his wifeH802 and his sons’H1121 wivesH802 with him enteredH935 the arkH8392 becauseH4480H6440 of the waterH4325 of the floodH3999. 816Of cleanH2889 animalsH929 and animalsH929 that are not cleanH2889 and birdsH5775 and everythingH3605 that creepsH7430 on the groundH127, 9there wentH935 into the arkH8392 to NoahH5146 17by twosH8147, maleH2145 and femaleH5347, as GodH430 had commandedH6680 NoahH5146. 10It cameH1961 about after 18the sevenH7651 daysH3117, that the waterH4325 of the floodH3999 19cameH1961 upon the earthH776. 11In the 20sixH8337 hundredthH3967 yearH8141 of Noah’sH5146 lifeH2425, in the secondH8145 monthH2320, on the seventeenthH7651H6240 dayH3117 of the monthH2320, on the sameH2088 dayH3117 allH3605 21the fountainsH4599 of the greatH7227 deepH8415 burstH1234 openH1234, and the 22floodgatesH699 of the skyH8064 were openedH6605. 1223The rainH1653 24fellH1961 upon the earthH776 for fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915.

13On the veryH6106 sameH6106 dayH3117 25NoahH5146 and ShemH8035 and HamH2526 and JaphethH3315, the sonsH1121 of NoahH5146, and Noah’sH5146 wifeH802 and the threeH7969 wivesH802 of his sonsH1121 with them, enteredH935 the arkH8392, 14they and everyH3605 beastH2421 after its kindH4327, and allH3605 the cattleH929 after 26their kindH4327, and everyH3605 creepingH7431 thingH7431 that creepsH7430 on the earthH776 after its kindH4327, and everyH3605 birdH5775 after its kindH4327, 27allH3605 sortsH3671 of birdsH6833. 15So they wentH935 into the arkH8392 to NoahH5146, 28by twosH8147 of allH3605 fleshH1320 in whichH834 was the breathH7307 of lifeH2425. 16Those that enteredH935, maleH2145 and femaleH5347 of allH3605 fleshH1320, enteredH935 as GodH430 had commandedH6680 him; and the LordH3068 closedH5462 it behindH1157 him.

17Then the floodH3999 29cameH1961 upon the earthH776 for 30fortyH705 daysH3117, and the waterH4325 increasedH7235 and liftedH5375 up the arkH8392, so that it roseH7311 aboveH4480H5921 the earthH776. 18The waterH4325 prevailedH1396 and increasedH7235 greatlyH3966 upon the earthH776, and the arkH8392 31floatedH1980 on the 32surfaceH6440 of the waterH4325. 19The waterH4325 prevailedH1396 moreH3966 and moreH3966 upon the earthH776, so that allH3605 the highH1364 mountainsH2022 33everywhereH3605 underH8478 the heavensH8064 were coveredH3680. 20The waterH4325 prevailedH1396 fifteenH2568H6240 34cubitsH520 higherH4605, 35and the mountainsH2022 were coveredH3680. 2136AllH3605 fleshH1320 that 37movedH7430 on the earthH776 perishedH1478, birdsH5775 and cattleH929 and beastsH2421 and everyH3605 swarmingH8318 thingH8318 that swarmsH8317 upon the earthH776, and allH3605 mankindH120; 22of allH3605 that was on the dryH2724 landH2724, allH3605 38in whoseH834 nostrilsH639 was the breathH5397 of the spiritH7307 of lifeH2425, diedH4191. 23Thus He blottedH4229 out 39everyH3605 livingH3351 thingH3351 that was upon the faceH6440 of the landH127, from manH120 to animalsH929 to creepingH7431 thingsH7431 and to birdsH5775 of the 40skyH8064, and they were blottedH4229 out from the earthH776; and onlyH389 41NoahH5146 was leftH7604, together with those that were with him in the arkH8392. 2442The waterH4325 prevailedH1396 upon the earthH776 one hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 daysH3117.
