17And, beholdH2009, IH589, even I, do bringH935 a floodH3999 of watersH4325 upon the earthH776, to destroyH7843 all fleshH1320, wherein is the breathH7307 of lifeH2416, from underH8478 heavenH8064; and every thingH3605 that is in the earthH776 shall dieH1478.

18But with thee will I establishH6965 my covenantH1285; and thou shalt comeH935 intoH413 the arkH8392, thouH859, and thy sonsH1121, and thy wifeH802, and thy sons’H1121 wivesH802 with thee.

19And of every living thingH2416 of all fleshH1320, twoH8147 of every sort shalt thou bringH935 into the arkH8392, to keep them aliveH2421 with thee; they shall be maleH2145 and femaleH5347.

20Of fowlsH5775 after their kindH4327, and of cattleH929 after their kindH4327, of every creeping thingH7431 of the earthH127 after his kindH4327, twoH8147 of every sort shall comeH935 unto thee, to keep them aliveH2421.

21And takeH3947 thou unto thee of all foodH3978 that is eatenH398, and thou shalt gatherH622 it to thee; and it shall be for foodH402 for thee, and for them.
