1 Then 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. Then the LORD said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and all your household, for I have seen that you are righteous before me in this generation. The LORD then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation.
2 You 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; Take with you seven pairs of all clean animals, the male and his mate, and a pair of the animals that are not clean, the male and his mate, Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate,
3 along with seven pairs of the flying birds, male and female, in order to keep their offspring alive on the surface of all the earth. and seven pairs of the birds of the heavens also, male and female, to keep their offspring alive on the face of all the earth. and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth.
4 Seven 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.| For in seven days I will send rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and every living thing that I have made I will blot out from the face of the ground.” Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.”

17 The 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. The flood continued forty days on the earth. The waters increased and bore up the ark, and it rose high above the earth. For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the earth.

Only Noah remained, along with those who were with him in the ark. He blotted out every living thing that was on the face of the ground, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens. They were blotted out from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ark. Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; people and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark.
