King James Version KJV
1 ADONAI said to Noach, "Come into the ark, you and all your household; for I have seen that you alone in this generation are righteous before me.
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 animal you are to take seven couples, and of the animals that are not clean, one couple;
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 also of the birds in the air take seven couples - in order to preserve their species throughout the earth.
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 in seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; I will wipe out every living thing that I have made from the face of 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 Noach did all that ADONAI ordered him to do.
5
And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.
6 Noach was 600 years old when the water flooded the earth.
6
And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 Noach went into the ark with his sons, his wife and his sons' wives, because of the floodwaters.
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 animals, of animals that are not clean, of birds, and of everything that creeps on the ground,
8
Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 couples, male and female, went in to Noach in the ark, as God had ordered Noach.
9
There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 After seven days the water flooded the earth.
10
And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 On the seventeenth day of the second month of the 600th year of Noach's life all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of the sky were opened.
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 It rained on the earth forty days and forty nights.
12
And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 On that same day Noach entered the ark with Shem, Ham and Yefet the sons of Noach, Noach's wife and the three wives of his sons accompanying them;
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 animal of every species, all the livestock of every species, every animal that creeps on the ground of every species, and every bird of every species - all sorts of winged creatures.
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 They went in to Noach in the ark, couples from every kind of living thing that breathes.
15
And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
16 Those that entered went in, male and female, from every kind of living being, as God had ordered him; and ADONAI shut him inside.
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 The flood was forty days on the earth; the water grew higher and floated the ark, so that it was lifted up off the earth.
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 The water overflowed the earth and grew deeper, until the ark floated on the surface of the water.
18
And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
19 The water overpowered the earth mightily; all the high mountains under the entire sky were covered;
19
And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
20 the water covered the mountains by more than twenty-two-and-a-half feet.
20
Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
21 All living beings that moved on the earth perished - birds, livestock, other animals, insects, and every human being,
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 everything in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life; whatever was on dry land died.
22
All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
23 He wiped out every living thing on the surface of the ground - not only human beings, but livestock, creeping animals and birds in the air. They were wiped out from the earth; only Noach was left, along with those who were with him in the ark.
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 The water held power over the earth for 150 days.
24
And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
