2Of every clean animal you shall take with you seven of each kind, male and female; and of the animals which themselves are not clean two, male and female;

3also of the flying creatures of the sky seven of every kind, male and female, to keep offspring alive on the face of the whole land.

4For in seven more days, I am going to make it rain upon the land forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe out all existence that I made from the face of the ground.

5So Noah did all just as Adonai commanded him.

6Now Noah was 600 years old when the flood came—water upon the land.

7So Noah, his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, entered the ark because of the floodwaters.

8Of the clean animals and unclean animals, the flying creatures and everything that crawls on the ground,

9two by two they came to Noah, into the ark, male and female, just as God commanded Noah.

10After the seven days, the floodwaters were upon the land.

11In the six-hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on this day, all the water sources of the great deep burst open, and the windows of the sky were opened.

12Then there was rain upon the land 40 days and 40 nights.

13On that same day Noah, along with Noah’s sons Shem, Ham and Japheth, Noah’s wife and the three wives of Noah’s sons with them, entered the ark,

14they and every animal according to its kind, and all the livestock according to its kind, and every crawling creature that crawls on the land according to its kind, and every flying creature according to its kind, every bird, every winged creature.

15So to Noah and into the ark they went by twos—all flesh in which was the spirit of life.

16Those that came, male and female of all flesh, came just as God commanded him. Then Adonai shut him in.

17The flood was forty days upon the land, and the waters increased and lifted the ark, so that it rose above the land.

18The waters overpowered and became very mighty over the land, and the ark drifted on the surface of the water.

19The waters completely overpowered the land so that all the high mountains beneath the entire sky were covered.

20The waters rose 15 cubits higher, as the mountains were covered.

21All flesh perished—those that crawl on the land, the flying creatures, livestock, wild animals, all creatures that swarm upon the land, and all humankind.

22Everything that had the breath of the spirit of life in its nostrils—everything on dry land—died.

23So He wiped out all existence that was upon the surface of the ground, everything from people to livestock, to crawling creatures, and to flying creatures of the sky. They were wiped out off the land. Only Noah and those with him in the ark survived.

24The waters overpowered the land for 150 days.

Genesis 7

1And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto Noach (Rest, Consolation), Come youi and all youri house into the ark; for youi have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

2Of every clean beast youi shall take to youi by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that [are] not clean by two, the male and his female.

3Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

4For 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.

5And Noach (Rest, Consolation) did according unto all that the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) commanded him.

6And Noach (Rest, Consolation) [was] six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.

7And Noach (Rest, Consolation) went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.

8Of clean beasts, and of beasts that [are] not clean, and of fowls, and of everything that creeps upon the earth,

9There went in two and two unto Noach (Rest, Consolation) into the ark, the male and the female, as God-Elōhīm [The Living Word - The Many Powered] had commanded Noach (Rest, Consolation).

10And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.

11In the six hundredth year of Noach’s (Rest, Consolation) 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.

12And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

13In the selfsame day entered Noach (Rest, Consolation), and Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known)), and Ham (hot, heat, brown), and Yefet (enlarged; fair; persuading), the sons of Noach (Rest, Consolation), and Noach’s (Rest, Consolation) wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;

14They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.

15And they went in unto Noach (Rest, Consolation) into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein [is] the breath of life.

16And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God-Elōhīm [The Living Word - The Many Powered] had commanded him: and the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shut him in.

17And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.

18And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.

19And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that [were] under the whole heaven, were covered.

20Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.

21And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth, and every man:

22All in whose nostrils [was] the breath of life, of all that [was] in the dry [land], died.

23And 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 Noach (Rest, Consolation) only remained [alive], and they that [were] with him in the ark.

24And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
