| Chapter
7 |
| 1 | And the
LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I
seen righteous before me in this generation. |
| 2 | Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens,
the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and
his female. |
| 3 | Of fowls
also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the
face of all the earth. |
| 4 |
For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and
forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from
off the face of the earth. |
| 5 |
And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him. |
| 6 | And Noah was six hundred years old
when the flood of waters was upon the earth. |
| 7 | And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his
sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. |
| 8 | Of clean beasts, and of
beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon
the earth, |
| 9 | There went
in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had
commanded Noah. |
| 10 | And
it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the
earth. |
| 11 | In the six
hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the
month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the
windows of heaven were opened. |
| 12
| And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. |
| 13 | In the selfsame day entered
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; |
| 14 | They, and every beast after his kind,
and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth
upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of
every sort. |
| 15 | And they
went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath
of life. |
| 16 | And they
that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him:
and the LORD shut him in. |
| 17 |
And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and
bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth. |
| 18 | And the waters prevailed, and were
increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the
waters. |
| 19 | And the
waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were
under the whole heaven, were covered. |
| 20 | Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the
mountains were covered. |
| 21 |
And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle,
and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and
every man: |
| 22 | All in
whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land,
died. |
| 23 | And every
living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man,
and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were
destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with
him in the ark. |
| 24 | And
the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days. |
