11In the 1sixH8337 hundredthH3967 yearH8141 of Noah’sH5146 lifeH2425, in the secondH8145 monthH2320, on the seventeenthH7651H6240 dayH3117 of the monthH2320, on that dayH3117 allH3605 2the fountainsH4599 of the greatH7227 deepH8415 burstH1234 openH1234, and the 3floodgatesH699 of the skyH8064 were openedH6605. 124The rainH1653 5fellH1961 upon the earthH776 for fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915.

13On thisH2088 veryH6106 sameH6106 dayH3117 6NoahH5146, ShemH8035, 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 animalH2421 according to its kindH4327, and allH3605 the livestockH929 according to 7their kindH4327, and everyH3605 crawlingH7431 thingH7431 that crawlsH7430 on the earthH776 according to its kindH4327, and everyH3605 birdH5775 according to its kindH4327, 8allH3605 sortsH3671 of birdsH6833. 15So they wentH935 into the arkH8392 to NoahH5146, 9by twosH8147 of allH3605 fleshH1320 in whichH834 there was the breathH7307 of lifeH2425. 16Those that enteredH935, maleH2145 and femaleH5347 of allH3605 fleshH1320, enteredH935 as GodH430 had commandedH6680 him; and the LordH3068 closedH5462 the door behindH1157 him.

17Then the floodH3999 10cameH1961 upon the earthH776 for 11fortyH705 daysH3117, and the waterH4325 increasedH7235 and liftedH5375 upH5375 the arkH8392, so that it roseH7311 aboveH4480H5921 the earthH776. 18The waterH4325 prevailedH1396 and increasedH7235 greatlyH3966 upon the earthH776, and the arkH8392 12floatedH1980 on the 13surfaceH6440 of the waterH4325. 19And the waterH4325 prevailedH1396 moreH3966 and moreH3966 upon the earthH776, so that allH3605 the highH1364 mountainsH2022 14everywhereH3605 underH8478 the heavensH8064 were coveredH3680. 20The waterH4325 prevailedH1396 15fifteenH2568H6240 cubitsH520 higherH4605, 16and the mountainsH2022 were coveredH3680. 21So 17allH3605 18creaturesH1320 that movedH7430 on the earthH776 perishedH1478: birdsH5775, livestockH929, animalsH2421, and everyH3605 swarmingH8318 thingH8318 that swarmsH8317 upon the earthH776, and allH3605 mankindH120; 22of allH3605 that was on the dryH2724 landH2724, allH3605 19in whoseH834 nostrilsH639 was the breathH5397 of the spiritH7307 of lifeH2425, diedH4191. 23SoH3541 He wipedH4229 outH4229 20everyH3605 livingH3351 thingH3351 that was upon the faceH6440 of the landH127, from mankindH120 to animalsH929, to crawlingH7431 thingsH7431, and the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064, and they were wipedH4229 outH4229 from the earthH776; and onlyH389 21NoahH5146 was leftH7604, together with those that were with him in the arkH8392.
