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

And the LORde sayd vnto Noe: goo in to the arcke both thou and all thy houssold. For the haue I sene rightuous before me in thys generacion.

2 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.

Of all clene beastes take vnto the. vij. of every kynde the male and hys female And of vnclene beastes a payre the male and hys female:

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

lykewyse of the byrdes of the ayre vij. of every kynde male and female to save seed vppon all the erth.

4 For 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.

For. vij. dayes hence wyll I send rayne vppo the erth. xl. dayes and. xl. nyghtes and wyll dystroy all maner of thynges that I haue made from of the face of the erth.

5 And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.

And Noe dyd acordynge to all yt the lorde comaunded hym:

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

and Noe was. vi. hundred yere olde when the floud of water came vppon the erth:

7 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.

and Noe went and his sonnes and his wyfe and his sonnes wyves wyth hym in to the arke from the waters of the floud.

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

And of clene beastes and of beastes that ware vnclene and of byrdes and of all that crepeth vppo the erth

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

came in by cooples of every kynde vnto Noe in to the arke: a male and a female: even as God commaunded Noe.

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

And the seventh daye the waters of the floud came vppon the erth.

11 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.

In the. vi. hundred yere of Noes lyfe in the secode moneth in the. xvij daye of the moneth yt same daye were all the founteynes of the grete depe broken vp and the wyndowes of heave were opened

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

ad there fell a rayne vpon the erth. xl. dayes and. xl. nyghtes.

13 In the very same 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;

And the selfe same daye went Noe Sem Ham and Iapheth Noes sonnes and Noes wyfe and the. iij. wyues of his sonnes wyth them in to the arke:

14 They, 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.

both they and all maner of beastes in their kide and all maner of catell in their kynde and all maner of wormes that crepe vppon the erth in their kynde and all maner of byrdes in there kynde. and all maner off foules what soever had feders.

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

And they came vnto Noe in to the arke by cooples of all flesh yt had breth of lyfe in it.

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

And they that came came male ad female of every flesh acordige as God comaunded hym: and ye LORde shytt the dore vppo him

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

And the floud came. xl. dayes and. xl. nyghtes vppon the erth and the water increased and bare vp the arcke ad it was lifte vp from of the erth

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

And the water prevayled and increased exceadingly vppon the erth: and the arke went vppo he toppe of the waters.

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

And the waters prevayled excedingly above mesure vppo the erth so that all the hye hylles which are vnder all the partes of heaven were covered:

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

eve. xv. cubytes hye prevayled the waters so that the hylles were covered.

21 And 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:

And all fleshe that moved on the erth bothe birdes catell and beastes perisshed with al that crepte on the erth and all men:

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

so that all that had the breth of liffe in the nostrels of it thorow out all that was on drye lond dyed.

23 And 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 Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.

Thus was destroyed all that was vppo the erth both man beastes wormes and foules of the ayre so that they were destroyed from the erth: save Noe was reserved only and they that were wyth hym in the arke.

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

And the waters prevayled vppon the erth an hundred and fyftye dayes.
