And the Lord said to him: “Enter the ark, you and all your house. For I have seen you to be just in my sight, within this generation
From all the clean animals, take seven and seven, the male and the female. Yet truly, from animals that are unclean, take two and two, the male and the female
But also from the birds of the air, take seven and seven, the male and the female, so that offspring may be saved upon the face of the whole earth
For from that point, and after seven days, I will rain upon the earth for forty days and forty nights. And I will wipe away every substance that I have made, from the surface of the earth.
Therefore, Noah did all things just as the Lord had commanded him
And he was six hundred years old when the waters of the great flood inundated the earth
And Noah entered into the ark, and his sons, his wife, and the wives of his sons with him, because of the waters of the great flood
And from the animals both clean and unclean, and from the birds, and from everything that moves upon the earth
two by two they were brought into the ark to Noah, male and female, just as the Lord had instructed Noah
And when seven days had passed, the waters of the great flood inundated the earth
In the six hundredth year of the life of Noah, in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, all the fountains of the great abyss were released, and the floodgates of heaven were opened
And rain came upon the earth for forty days and forty nights
On the very same day, Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and his wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark
They and every animal according to its kind, and all the cattle in their kind, and everything that moves upon the earth in their kind, and every flying thing according to its kind, all the birds and all that can fly
entered the ark to Noah, two by two out of all that is flesh, in which there was the breath of life
And those that entered went in male and female, from all that is flesh, just as God had instructed him. And then the Lord closed him in from the outside
And the great flood occurred for forty days upon the earth. And the waters were increased, and they lifted the ark high above the land
For they overflowed greatly, and they filled everything on the surface of the earth. And then the ark was carried across the waters
And the waters prevailed beyond measure across the earth. And all the lofty mountains under the whole heaven were covered
The water was fifteen cubits higher than the mountains which it covered
And all flesh was consumed which moved upon the earth: flying things, animals, wild beasts, and all moving things that crawl upon the ground. And all men
and everything in which there is the breath of life on earth, died
And he wiped away all substance that was upon the earth, from man to animal, the crawling things just as much as the flying things of the air. And they were wiped away from the earth. But only Noah remained, and those who were with him in the ark
And the waters possessed the earth for one hundred and fifty days
