¹ And the Lord said to Noah, Take all your family and go into the ark, for you only in this generation have I seen to be upright. ² Of every clean beast you will take seven males and seven females, and of the beasts which are not clean, two, the male and his female; ³ And of the birds of the air, seven males and seven females, so that their seed may still be living on the face of the earth. ⁴ For after seven days I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, for the destruction of every living thing which I have made on the face of the earth. ⁵ And Noah did everything which the Lord said he was to do. ⁶ And Noah was six hundred years old when the waters came flowing over all the earth. ⁷ And Noah, with his sons and his wife and his sons' wives, went into the ark because of the flowing of the waters. ⁸ Of clean beasts, and of beasts which are not clean, and of birds, and of everything which goes on the earth, ⁹ In twos, male and female, they went into the ark with Noah, as God had said. ¹⁰ And after the seven days, the waters came over all the earth. ¹¹ In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, all the fountains of the great deep came bursting through, and the windows of heaven were open; ¹² And rain came down on the earth for forty days and forty nights.
