Genesis 7 (WEBP)

[1] Yahweh said to Noah, “Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation.
[2] You shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his female.
[3] Also of the birds of the sky, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive on the surface of all the earth.
[4] In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. I will destroy every living thing that I have made from the surface of the ground.”
[5] Noah did everything that Yahweh commanded him.
[6] Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came on the earth.
[7] Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, because of the floodwaters.
[8] Clean animals, unclean animals, birds, and everything that creeps on the ground
[9] went by pairs to Noah into the ship, male and female, as God commanded Noah.
[10] After the seven days, the floodwaters came on the earth.
[11] In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the sky’s windows opened.
[12] It rained on the earth forty days and forty nights.
[13] In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth—the sons of Noah—and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship—
[14] they, and every animal after its kind, all the livestock after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.
[15] Pairs from all flesh with the breath of life in them went into the ship to Noah.
[16] Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; then Yahweh shut him in.
[17] The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ship, and it was lifted up above the earth.
[18] The waters rose, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters.
[19] The waters rose very high on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered.
[20] The waters rose fifteen cubits higher, and the mountains were covered.
[21] All flesh died that moved on the earth, including birds, livestock, animals, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man.
[22] All on the dry land, in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died.
[23] Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including man, livestock, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ship.
[24] The waters flooded the earth one hundred fifty days.

Genesis 7:20 A cubit is the length from the tip of the middle finger to the elbow on a man’s arm, or about 18 inches or 46 centimeters.

Young’s Literal Translation

Genesis 7 (YLT)

[1] And Jehovah saith to Noah, ‘Come in, thou and all thy house, unto the ark, for thee I have seen righteous before Me in this generation;
[2] of all the clean beasts thou dost take to thee seven pairs, a male and its female; and of the beasts which are not clean two, a male and its female;
[3] also, of fowl of the heavens seven pairs, a male and a female, to keep alive seed on the face of all the earth;
[4] for after other seven days I am sending rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and have wiped away all the substance that I have made from off the face of the ground.’
[5] And Noah doth according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him:
[6] and Noah is a son of six hundred years, and the deluge of waters hath been upon the earth.
[7] And Noah goeth in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, unto the ark, from the presence of the waters of the deluge;
[8] of the clean beasts and of the beasts that are not clean, and of the fowl, and of every thing that is creeping upon the ground,
[9] two by two they have come in unto Noah, unto the ark, a male and a female, as God hath commanded Noah.
[10] And it cometh to pass, after the seventh of the days, that waters of the deluge have been on the earth.
[11] In the six hundredth year of the life of Noah, in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, in this day have been broken up all fountains of the great deep, and the net-work of the heavens hath been opened,
[12] and the shower is on the earth forty days and forty nights.
[13] In this self-same day went in Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, unto the ark;
[14] they, and every living creature after its kind, and every beast after its kind, and every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth after its kind, and every fowl after its kind, every bird-every wing.
[15] And they come in unto Noah, unto the ark, two by two of all the flesh in which is a living spirit;
[16] and they that are coming in, male and female of all flesh, have come in as God hath commanded him, and Jehovah doth close it for him.
[17] And the deluge is forty days on the earth, and the waters multiply, and lift up the ark, and it is raised up from off the earth;
[18] and the waters are mighty, and multiply exceedingly upon the earth; and the ark goeth on the face of the waters.
[19] And the waters have been very very mighty on the earth, and covered are all the high mountains which are under the whole heavens;
[20] fifteen cubits upwards have the waters become mighty, and the mountains are covered;
[21] and expire doth all flesh that is moving on the earth, among fowl, and among cattle, and among beasts, and among all the teeming things which are teeming on the earth, and all mankind;
[22] all in whose nostrils is breath of a living spirit-of all that is in the dry land-have died.
[23] And wiped away is all the substance that is on the face of the ground, from man unto beast, unto creeping thing, and unto fowl of the heavens; yea, they are wiped away from the earth, and only Noah is left, and those who are with him in the ark;
[24] and the waters are mighty on the earth a hundred and fifty days.
