Noah and the Flood
9
This is the genealogy of Noah. m Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah n walked with God.
10
And Noah begot three sons: o Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11
The earth also was corrupt p before God, and the earth was q filled with violence.
12
So God r looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for s all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
13
And God said to Noah, t "The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; u and behold, v I will destroy them with the earth.
14
"Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.
15
"And this is how you shall make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.
16
"You shall make a window for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above; and set the door of the ark in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third decks.
17
w "And behold, I Myself am bringing x floodwaters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall y die.
18
"But I will establish My z covenant with you; and a you shall go into the ark - you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you.
19
"And of every living thing of all flesh you shall bring b two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.
20
"Of the birds after their kind, of animals after their kind, and of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind, two of every kind c will come to you to keep them alive.
21
"And you shall take for yourself of all food that is eaten, and you shall gather it to yourself; and it shall be food for you and for them."
22
d Thus Noah did; e according to all that f God commanded him, so he did.
1
Then the a LORD said to Noah, b "Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that c you are righteous before Me in this generation.
2
"You shall take with you seven each of every d clean animal, a male and his female; e two each of animals that are unclean, a male and his female;
3
"also seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep the species alive on the face of all the earth.
4
"For after f seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth g forty days and forty nights, and I will destroy from the face of the earth all living things that I have made."
5
h And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him.
6
Noah was i six hundred years old when the floodwaters were on the earth.
7
j So Noah, with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives, went into the ark because of the waters of the flood.
8
Of clean animals, of animals that are unclean, of birds, and of everything that creeps on the earth,
9
two by two they went into the ark to Noah, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.
10
And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were on the earth.
11
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on k that day all l the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the m windows of heaven were opened.
12
n And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.
13
On the very same day Noah and Noah's sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark -
14
o they and every beast after its kind, all cattle after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every p sort.
15
And they q went into the ark to Noah, two by two, of all flesh in which is the breath of life.
16
So those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in r as God had commanded him; and the LORD shut him in.
17
s Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it rose high above the earth.
18
The waters prevailed and greatly increased on the earth, t and the ark moved about on the surface of the waters.
19
And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth, and all the high hills under the whole heaven were covered.
20
The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered.
21
u And all flesh died that moved on the earth: birds and cattle and beasts and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man.
22
All in v whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, all that was on the dry land, died.
23
So He destroyed all living things which were on the face of the ground: both man and cattle, creeping thing and bird of the air. They were destroyed from the earth. Only w Noah and those who were with him in the ark remained alive.
24
x And the waters prevailed on the earth one hundred and fifty days.
