7:1 The LORD said
to Noah, "Go into the boat with your whole family; I have found that you
are the only one in all the world who does what is
right. |
|
7:2 Take with you
seven pairs of each kind of ritually clean animal, but only one pair of each
kind of unclean animal. |
|
7:3 Take also
seven pairs of each kind of bird. Do this so that every kind of animal and
bird will be kept alive to reproduce again on the earth. |
|
7:4 Seven days
from now I am going to send rain that will fall for forty days and nights, in
order to destroy all the living beings that I have made." |
|
7:5
And Noah
did everything that the LORD commanded. |
|
7:6 Noah was six
hundred years old when the flood came on the earth. |
|
7:7 He and his
wife, and his sons and their wives, went into the boat to escape the flood. |
|
7:8 A male and a
female of every kind of animal and bird, whether ritually clean or unclean, |
|
7:9 went into the
boat with Noah, as God had commanded. |
|
7:10 Seven days
later the flood came. |
|
7:11 When Noah was
six hundred years old, on the seventeenth day of the second month all the
outlets of the vast body of water beneath the earth burst open, all the
floodgates of the sky were opened, |
|
7:12 and rain fell
on the earth for forty days and nights. |
|
7:13 On that same
day Noah and his wife went into the boat with their three sons, Shem, Ham,
and Japheth, and their wives. |
|
7:14 With them went
every kind of animal, domestic and wild, large and small, and every kind of
bird. |
|
7:15 A male and a
female of each kind of living being went into the boat with Noah, |
|
7:16 as God had
commanded. Then the LORD shut the door behind Noah. |
|
7:17 The flood
continued for forty days, and the water became deep enough for the boat to
float. |
|
7:18 The water
became deeper, and the boat drifted on the surface. |
|
7:19 It became so
deep that it covered the highest mountains; |
|
7:20 it went on
rising until it was about twenty-five feet above the tops of the mountains. |
|
7:21 Every living
being on the earth died---every bird, every animal, and every person. |
|
7:22 Everything on
earth that breathed died. |
|
7:23 The LORD
destroyed all living beings on the earth---human beings, animals, and birds.
The only ones left were Noah and those who were with him in the boat. |
|
7:24 The water did
not start going down for a hundred and fifty days. |
