The Flood Covers the Earth
When everything was ready, the LORD said to Noah, “Go into the boat with all your family, for among all the people of the earth, I can see that you alone are righteous.
When everything was ready, the LORD said to Noah, “Go into the boat with all your family, for among all the people of the earth, I can see that you alone are righteous.
Entering the Ark
And Jehovah said to Noah, Go into the ark, thou and all thy house; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
And Jehovah said to Noah, Go into the ark, thou and all thy house; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
Of all clean beasts thou shalt take to thee by sevens, a male and its female; but of the beasts that are not clean two, a male and its female.
Also take seven pairs of every kind of bird. There must be a male and a female in each pair to ensure that all life will survive on the earth after the flood.
Also of the fowl of the heavens by sevens, male and female; to keep seed alive on the face of all the earth.
Seven days from now I will make the rains pour down on the earth. And it will rain for forty days and forty nights, until I have wiped from the earth all the living things I have created.”
For in yet seven days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living being which I have made will I destroy from the ground.
So Noah did everything as the LORD commanded him.

The Floodwaters Arrive

With them were all the various kinds of animals — those approved for eating and for sacrifice and those that were not — along with all the birds and the small animals that scurry along the ground.
Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowl, and of everything that creeps on the ground,

After seven days, the waters of the flood came and covered the earth.
And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were on the earth.
When Noah was 600 years old, on the seventeenth day of the second month, all the underground waters erupted from the earth, and the rain fell in mighty torrents from the sky.
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that same day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
The rain continued to fall for forty days and forty nights.
And the pour of rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.
That very day Noah had gone into the boat with his wife and his sons — Shem, Ham, and Japheth — and their wives.
On the same day went Noah, and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
With them in the boat were pairs of every kind of animal — domestic and wild, large and small — along with birds of every kind.
they, and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and all fowl after its kind -- every bird of every wing.
Two by two they came into the boat, representing every living thing that breathes.
And they went to Noah, into the ark, two and two of all flesh, in which was the breath of life.
A male and female of each kind entered, just as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD closed the door behind them.
And they that came, came male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him. And Jehovah shut him in.
For forty days the floodwaters grew deeper, covering the ground and lifting the boat high above the earth.
The Duration of the Flood
And the flood was forty days on the earth. And the waters increased, and bore up the ark; and it was lifted up above the earth.
And the flood was forty days on the earth. And the waters increased, and bore up the ark; and it was lifted up above the earth.
As the waters rose higher and higher above the ground, the boat floated safely on the surface.
And the waters prevailed and increased greatly on the earth; and the ark went on the face of the waters.
Finally, the water covered even the highest mountains on the earth,
And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth; and all the high mountains that are under all the heavens were covered.
Fifteen cubits upward the waters prevailed; and the mountains were covered.
All the living things on earth died — birds, domestic animals, wild animals, small animals that scurry along the ground, and all the people.
And all flesh that moved on the earth expired, fowl as well as cattle, and beasts, and all crawling things which crawl on the earth, and all mankind:
Everything that breathed and lived on dry land died.
everything which had in its nostrils the breath of life, of all that was on the dry [land], died.
God wiped out every living thing on the earth — people, livestock, small animals that scurry along the ground, and the birds of the sky. All were destroyed. The only people who survived were Noah and those with him in the boat.
And every living being was destroyed that was on the ground, both man, and cattle, and creeping things, and fowl of the heavens; and they were destroyed from the earth. And Noah alone remained, and what was with him in the ark.
