Genesis 7:1–16

¹And Jehovah saith to Noah, ‘Come in, thou and all thy house, unto the ark, for thee I have seen righteous before Me in this generation; ²of all the clean beasts thou dost take to thee seven pairs, a male and its female; and of the beasts which are not clean two, a male and its female; ³also, of fowl of the heavens seven pairs, a male and a female, to keep alive seed on the face of all the earth; ⁴for after other seven days I am sending rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and have wiped away all the substance that I have made from off the face of the ground.’

⁵And Noah doth according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him: ⁶and Noah is a son of six hundred years, and the deluge of waters hath been upon the earth. ⁷And Noah goeth in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, unto the ark, from the presence of the waters of the deluge; ⁸of the clean beasts and of the beasts that are not clean, and of the fowl, and of every thing that is creeping upon the ground, ⁹two by two they have come in unto Noah, unto the ark, a male and a female, as God hath commanded Noah. ¹⁰And it cometh to pass, after the seventh of the days, that waters of the deluge have been on the earth.

¹¹In the six hundredth year of the life of Noah, in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, in this day have been broken up all fountains of the great deep, and the net-work of the heavens hath been opened, ¹²and the shower is on the earth forty days and forty nights.

¹³In this self-same day went in Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, unto the ark; ¹⁴they, and every living creature after its kind, and every beast after its kind, and every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth after its kind, and every fowl after its kind, every bird—every wing. ¹⁵And they come in unto Noah, unto the ark, two by two of all the flesh in which is a living spirit; ¹⁶and they that are coming in, male and female of all flesh, have come in as God hath commanded him, and Jehovah doth close it for him.
