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.

Genesis 7 (BYZ)

[1] και ειπεν κυριος ο θεος προς νωε εισελθε συ και πας ο οικος σου εις την κιβωτον οτι σε ειδον δικαιον εναντιον μου εν τη γενεα ταυτη
[2] απο δε των κτηνων των καθαρων εισαγαγε προς σε επτα επτα αρσεν και θηλυ απο δε των κτηνων των μη καθαρων δυο δυο αρσεν και θηλυ
[3] και απο των πετεινων του ουρανου των καθαρων επτα επτα αρσεν και θηλυ και απο των πετεινων των μη καθαρων δυο δυο αρσεν και θηλυ διαθρεψαι σπερμα επι πασαν την γην
[4] ετι γαρ ημερων επτα εγω επαγω υετον επι την γην τεσσαρακοντα ημερας και τεσσαρακοντα νυκτας και εξαλειψω πασαν την εξαναστασιν ην εποιησα απο προσωπου της γης
[5] και εποιησεν νωε παντα οσα ενετειλατο αυτω κυριος ο θεος
[6] νωε δε ην ετων εξακοσιων και ο κατακλυσμος εγενετο υδατος επι της γης
[7] εισηλθεν δε νωε και οι υιοι αυτου και η γυνη αυτου και αι γυναικες των υιων αυτου μετ αυτου εις την κιβωτον δια το υδωρ του κατακλυσμου
[8] και απο των πετεινων και απο των κτηνων των καθαρων και απο των κτηνων των μη καθαρων και απο παντων των ερπετων των επι της γης
[9] δυο δυο εισηλθον προς νωε εις την κιβωτον αρσεν και θηλυ καθα ενετειλατο αυτω ο θεος
[10] και εγενετο μετα τας επτα ημερας και το υδωρ του κατακλυσμου εγενετο επι της γης
[11] εν τω εξακοσιοστω ετει εν τη ζωη του νωε του δευτερου μηνος εβδομη και εικαδι του μηνος τη ημερα ταυτη ερραγησαν πασαι αι πηγαι της αβυσσου και οι καταρρακται του ουρανου ηνεωχθησαν
[12] και εγενετο ο υετος επι της γης τεσσαρακοντα ημερας και τεσσαρακοντα νυκτας
[13] εν τη ημερα ταυτη εισηλθεν νωε σημ χαμ ιαφεθ υιοι νωε και η γυνη νωε και αι τρεις γυναικες των υιων αυτου μετ αυτου εις την κιβωτον
[14] και παντα τα θηρια κατα γενος και παντα τα κτηνη κατα γενος και παν ερπετον κινουμενον επι της γης κατα γενος και παν πετεινον κατα γενος
[15] εισηλθον προς νωε εις την κιβωτον δυο δυο απο πασης σαρκος εν ω εστιν πνευμα ζωης
[16] και τα εισπορευομενα αρσεν και θηλυ απο πασης σαρκος εισηλθεν καθα ενετειλατο ο θεος τω νωε και εκλεισεν κυριος ο θεος εξωθεν αυτου την κιβωτον
[17] και εγενετο ο κατακλυσμος τεσσαρακοντα ημερας και τεσσαρακοντα νυκτας επι της γης και επληθυνθη το υδωρ και επηρεν την κιβωτον και υψωθη απο της γης
[18] και επεκρατει το υδωρ και επληθυνετο σφοδρα επι της γης και επεφερετο η κιβωτος επανω του υδατος
[19] το δε υδωρ επεκρατει σφοδρα σφοδρως επι της γης και επεκαλυψεν παντα τα ορη τα υψηλα α ην υποκατω του ουρανου
[20] δεκα πεντε πηχεις επανω υψωθη το υδωρ και επεκαλυψεν παντα τα ορη τα υψηλα
[21] και απεθανεν πασα σαρξ κινουμενη επι της γης των πετεινων και των κτηνων και των θηριων και παν ερπετον κινουμενον επι της γης και πας ανθρωπος
[22] και παντα οσα εχει πνοην ζωης και πας ος ην επι της ξηρας απεθανεν
[23] και εξηλειψεν παν το αναστημα ο ην επι προσωπου πασης της γης απο ανθρωπου εως κτηνους και ερπετων και των πετεινων του ουρανου και εξηλειφθησαν απο της γης και κατελειφθη μονος νωε και οι μετ αυτου εν τη κιβωτω
[24] και υψωθη το υδωρ επι της γης ημερας εκατον πεντηκοντα
