| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Then the LORD told Noah, "Come—you and all your household—into the ark, because I've seen that you alone are righteous in this generation. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2You are to take with you seven pairs of every clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of the unclean animals, a male and its mate; |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3along with seven pairs of the flying birds, male and female, in order to keep their offspring alive on the surface of all the earth. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Seven days from now I'll send rain on the earth for 40 days and 40 nights, and I'll destroy every living creature that I've made." |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Noah did everything that the LORD commanded. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Noah was 600 years old when water began to flood the earth. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Noah, his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives entered the ark with him before the flood waters arrived. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8From both clean and unclean animals, from birds, and from everything that crawls on the ground, |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9two by two, male and female, they entered the ark to join Noah, just as God had commanded. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Seven days later, the flooding started. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11On the seventeenth day of the second month, when Noah was 600 years old, all the springs of the great deep burst open, the floodgates of the heavens were opened, |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12and it rained throughout the earth for 40 days and 40 nights. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13On that very day, Noah entered the ark with his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, Noah's wife, his sons' three wives with them, |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14along with every species of wild animal, livestock, crawling creature, bird, and every creature that has wings. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Two of each living creature entered the ark with Noah. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16The males and females of each living creature entered the ark, just as God had commanded. Then the LORD sealed them inside. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17The flood continued throughout the earth for 40 days, while the flood waters increased, lifting the ark so that it rose above the surface of the earth. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18The flood waters continued to surge, increasing throughout the earth, while the ark floated on the surface of the flood water. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19The flood water surged even higher throughout the earth, until all the highest mountains under the sky were covered. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20The flood waters rose 15 cubits above the mountains. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Every living thing on earth died—flying creatures, livestock, wildlife, all creatures that swarm over the earth, and all human beings. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Everything that breathed and everything that had lived on dry land died. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23All existing creatures that had lived on the surface of the ground were annihilated, from humans to livestock, from crawling creatures to birds of the sky. They were wiped off the earth. Only Noah remained, along with those who were with him in the ark. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24The flood waters surged over the earth for 150 days. |
