Genesis 7

New Living Translation NLT

1 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.

2 Take with you seven pairs—male and female—of each animal I have approved for eating and for sacrifice, and take one pair of each of the others.

3 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.

4 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.”

5 So Noah did everything as the LORD commanded him.

6 Noah was 600 years old when the flood covered the earth.

7 He went on board the boat to escape the flood—he and his wife and his sons and their wives.

8 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.

9 They entered the boat in pairs, male and female, just as God had commanded Noah.

10 After seven days, the waters of the flood came and covered the earth.

11 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.

12 The rain continued to fall for forty days and forty nights.

13 That very day Noah had gone into the boat with his wife and his sons—Shem, Ham, and Japheth—and their wives.

14 With them in the boat were pairs of every kind of animal—domestic and wild, large and small—along with birds of every kind.

15 Two by two they came into the boat, representing every living thing that breathes.

16 A male and female of each kind entered, just as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD closed the door behind them.

17 For forty days the floodwaters grew deeper, covering the ground and lifting the boat high above the earth.

18 As the waters rose higher and higher above the ground, the boat floated safely on the surface.

19 Finally, the water covered even the highest mountains on the earth,

20 rising more than twenty-two feet above the highest peaks.

21 All the living things on earth died—birds, domestic animals, wild animals, small animals that scurry along the ground, and all the people.

22 Everything that breathed and lived on dry land died.

23 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.

24 And the floodwaters covered the earth for 150 days.

The Message Bible MSG

1 Next God said to Noah, "Now board the ship, you and all your family - out of everyone in this generation, you're the righteous one.

2 "Take on board with you seven pairs of every clean animal, a male and a female; one pair of every unclean animal, a male and a female;

3 and seven pairs of every kind of bird, a male and a female, to insure their survival on Earth.

4 In just seven days I will dump rain on Earth for forty days and forty nights. I'll make a clean sweep of everything that I've made."

5 Noah did everything God commanded him.

6 Noah was 600 years old when the floodwaters covered the Earth.

7 Noah and his wife and sons and their wives boarded the ship to escape the flood.

8 Clean and unclean animals, birds, and all the crawling creatures

9 came in pairs to Noah and to the ship, male and female, just as God had commanded Noah.

10 In seven days the floodwaters came.

11 It was the six-hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month that it happened: all the underground springs erupted and all the windows of Heaven were thrown open.

12 Rain poured for forty days and forty nights.

13 That's the day Noah and his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, accompanied by his wife and his sons' wives, boarded the ship.

14 And with them every kind of wild and domestic animal, right down to all the kinds of creatures that crawl and all kinds of birds and anything that flies.

15 They came to Noah and to the ship in pairs - everything and anything that had the breath of life in it,

16 male and female of every creature came just as God had commanded Noah. Then God shut the door behind him.

17 The flood continued forty days and the waters rose and lifted the ship high over the Earth.

18 The waters kept rising, the flood deepened on the Earth, the ship floated on the surface.

19 The flood got worse until all the highest mountains were covered

20 - the high water mark reached twenty feet above the crest of the mountains.

21 Everything died. Anything that moved - dead. Birds, farm animals, wild animals, the entire teeming exuberance of life - dead. And all people - dead.

22 Every living, breathing creature that lived on dry land died;

23 he wiped out the whole works - people and animals, crawling creatures and flying birds, every last one of them, gone. Only Noah and his company on the ship lived.

24 The floodwaters took over for 150 days.
