Genesis 7

1 And the Lord said vnto Noah, Enter thou and all thine house into the Arke: for thee haue I seene righteous before me in this age.

And the LORD said to Noah, Come you and all your house into the ark; for you have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

2 Of euery cleane beast thou shalt take to thee by seuens, the male and his female: but of vncleane beastes by couples, the male and his female.

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

3 Of the foules also of the heauen by seuens, male and female, to keepe seede aliue vpon the whole earth.

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

4 For seuen dayes hence I will cause it raine vpon the earth fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes, and all the substance that I haue made, will I destroy from off the earth.

For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain on 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.

5 Noah therefore did according vnto all that the Lord commanded him.

And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him.

6 And Noah was sixe hundreth yeeres olde, when the flood of waters was vpon the earth.

And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was on the earth.

7 So Noah entred and his sonnes, and his wife, and his sonnes wiues with him into the Arke, because of the waters of the flood.

And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.

8 Of the cleane beastes, and of the vncleane beastes, and of the foules, and of all that creepeth vpon the earth,

Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creeps on the earth,

9 There came two and two vnto Noah into the Arke, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.

There went in two and two to Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.

10 And so after seuen dayes the waters of the flood were vpon the earth.

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

11 In the sixe hundreth yeere of Noahs life in the second moneth, the seuetenth day of the moneth, in the same day were all the fountaines of the great deepe broken vp, and the windowes of heauen were opened,

In the six hundredth year of Noah’s 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.

12 And the raine was vpon the earth fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes.

And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.

13 In the selfe same day entred Noah with Shem, and Ham and Iapheth, the sonnes of Noah, and Noahs wife, and the three wiues of his sonnes with them into the Arke.

In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;

14 They and euery beast after his kinde, and all cattell after their kinde, and euery thing that creepeth and moueth vpon the earth after his kinde, and euery foule after his kinde, euen euery bird of euery fether.

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

15 For they came to Noah into ye Arke, two and two, of all flesh wherein is ye breath of life.

And they went in to Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.

16 And they entring in, came male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in.

And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.

17 Then ye flood was fourtie dayes vpon the earth, and the waters were increased, and bare vp the Arke, which was lift vp aboue the earth.

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

18 The waters also waxed strong, and were increased exceedingly vpon the earth, and the Arke went vpon the waters.

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

19 The waters preuailed so exceedingly vpon the earth, that all the high mountaines, that are vnder the whole heauen, were couered.

And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.

20 Fifteene cubites vpwarde did the waters preuaile, when the mountaines were couered.

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

21 Then all flesh perished that moued vpon the earth, both foule and cattell and beast, and euery thing that creepeth and moueth vpon the earth, and euery man.

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

22 Euery thing in whose nostrels the spirit of life did breathe, whatsoeuer they were in the drie land, they died.

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

23 So he destroyed euery thing that was vpon the earth, from man to beast, to ye creeping thing, and to the foule of the heauen: they were euen destroyed from the earth. And Noah onely remained; and they that were with him in ye Arke.

And every living substance was destroyed which was on 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 Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.

24 And the waters preuailed vpon the earth an hundreth and fiftie dayes.

And the waters prevailed on the earth an hundred and fifty days.
