[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.

King James Version
[1] And the Lord H3068 said H559 (QalImpf) unto Noah, H5146 Come H935 (QalImpv) thou and all thy house H1004 into the ark; H8392 for thee have I seen H7200 (QalPerf) righteous H6662 before me H6440 in this H2088 generation. H1755 [2] Of every clean H2889 beast H929 thou shalt take H3947 (QalImpf) to thee by sevens, H7651§ the male H376 and his female: H802 and of beasts H929 that are not clean H2889 by two, H8147 the male H376 and his female. H802 [3] Of fowls H5775 also of the air H8064 by sevens, H7651 the male H2145 and the female; H5347 to keep H2421 seed H2233 alive H2421 (PielInf) upon the face H6440 of all the earth. H776 [4] For yet H5750 seven H7651 days, H3117 and I will cause it to rain H4305 (HiphPtc) upon the earth H776 forty H705 days H3117 and forty H705 nights; H3915 and every H3605 living substance H3351 that I have made H6213 (QalPerf) will I destroy H4229 (QalPerf)§ from off H5921 the face H6440 of the earth. H127 [5] And Noah H5146 did H6213 (QalImpf) according unto all that the Lord H3068 commanded H6680 (PielPerf) him. [6] And Noah H5146 was six H8337 hundred H3967 years H8141 old H1121 when the flood H3999 of waters H4325 was upon the earth. H776 [7] And Noah H5146 went in, H935 (QalImpf) and his sons, H1121 and his wife, H802 and his sons’ H1121 wives H802 with him, into the ark, H8392 because of H6440 the waters H4325 of the flood. H3999 [8] Of clean H2889 beasts, H929 and of beasts H929 that are not clean, H2889 and of fowls, H5775 and of every thing that creepeth H7430 (QalActPtc) upon the earth, H127 [9] there went in H935 (QalPerf) two H8147 and two H8147 unto Noah H5146 into the ark, H8392 the male H2145 and the female, H5347 as H834 God H430 had commanded H6680 (PielPerf) Noah. H5146 [10] And it came to pass after seven H7651 days, H3117§ that the waters H4325 of the flood H3999 were upon the earth. H776
The Great Flood
[11] In H8141 the six H8337 hundredth H3967 year H8141 of Noah’s H5146 life, H2416 in the second H8145 month, H2320 the seventeenth H7651 day H3117 of the month, H2320 the same H2088 day H3117 were all the fountains H4599 of the great H7227 deep H8415 broken up, H1234 (NiphPerf) and the windows H699§ of heaven H8064 were opened. H6605 (NiphPerf) [12] And the rain H1653 was upon the earth H776 forty H705 days H3117 and forty H705 nights. H3915 [13] In the selfsame H6106 day H3117 entered H935 (QalPerf) Noah, H5146 and Shem, H8035 and Ham, H2526 and Japheth, H3315 the sons H1121 of Noah, H5146 and Noah’s H5146 wife, H802 and the three H7969 wives H802 of his sons H1121 with them, into the ark; H8392 [14] they, H1992 and every beast H2416 after his kind, H4327 and all the cattle H929 after their kind, H4327 and every creeping thing H7431 that creepeth H7430 (QalActPtc) upon the earth H776 after his kind, H4327 and every fowl H5775 after his kind, H4327 every bird H6833 of every sort. H3671§ [15] And they went in H935 (QalImpf) unto Noah H5146 into the ark, H8392 two H8147 and two H8147 of all flesh, H1320 wherein H834 is the breath H7307 of life. H2416 [16] And they that went in, H935 (QalActPtc) went in H935 (QalPerf) male H2145 and female H5347 of all flesh, H1320 as God H430 had commanded H6680 (PielPerf) him: and the Lord H3068 shut him in. H5462 (QalImpf) [17] And the flood H3999 was forty H705 days H3117 upon the earth; H776 and the waters H4325 increased, H7235 (QalImpf) and bare up H5375 (QalImpf) the ark, H8392 and it was lift up H7311 (QalImpf) above the earth. H776 [18] And the waters H4325 prevailed, H1396 (QalImpf) and were increased H7235 (QalImpf) greatly H3966 upon the earth; H776 and the ark H8392 went H3212 (QalImpf) upon the face H6440 of the waters. H4325 [19] And the waters H4325 prevailed H1396 (QalPerf) exceedingly H3966 upon the earth; H776 and all the high H1364 hills, H2022 that were under H8478 the whole heaven, H8064 were covered. H3680 (PualImpf) [20] Fifteen H6240 cubits H520 upward H4605 did the waters H4325 prevail; H1396 (QalPerf) and the mountains H2022 were covered. H3680 (PualImpf) [21] And all flesh H1320 died H1478 (QalImpf) that moved H7430 (QalActPtc) upon the earth, H776 both of fowl, H5775 and of cattle, H929 and of beast, H2416 and of every creeping thing H8318 that creepeth H8317 (QalActPtc) upon the earth, H776 and every man: H120 [22] all in whose nostrils H639 was the breath H5397 of life, H2416§ of all that was in the dry H2724 land, died. H4191 (QalPerf) [23] And every living substance H3351 was destroyed H4229 (NiphImpf) which was upon the face H6440 of the ground, H127 both man, H120 and cattle, H929 and the creeping things, H7431 and the fowl H5775 of the heaven; H8064 and they were destroyed H4229 (NiphImpf) from the earth: H776 and Noah H5146 only H389 remained H7604 (NiphImpf) alive, and they that H834 were with him in the ark. H8392 [24] And the waters H4325 prevailed H1396 (QalImpf) upon the earth H776 an hundred H3967 and fifty H2572 days. H3117Footnotes
