Genesis 7:13-24

13On this very same day 1Noah, Shem, 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 animal according to its kind, and all the livestock according to 2their kind, and every crawling thing that crawls on the earth according to its kind, and every bird according to its kind, 3all sorts of birds. 15So they went into the ark to Noah, 4by twos of all flesh in which there was the breath of life. 16Those that entered, male and female of all flesh, entered as God had commanded him; and the Lord closed the door 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. 19And the water prevailed more and more upon the earth, so that all the high mountains 9everywhere under the heavens were covered. 20The water prevailed 10fifteen cubits higher, 11and the mountains were covered. 21So 12all 13creatures that moved on the earth perished: birds, livestock, animals, 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. 23So He wiped out 15every living thing that was upon the face of the land, from mankind to animals, to crawling things, and the birds of the sky, and they were wiped out from the earth; and only 16Noah was left, together with those that were with him in the ark. 2417The water prevailed upon the earth for 150 days.
