Genesis 7

1 And Yahweh said to Noah, Enter thou and all thy house, into the ark, —for, thee, 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 all the clean beasts, shalt thou take to thee by sevens, a male and his female, —and, of the beasts that are not clean, shall be two a 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 Also of the bird of the heavens, by sevens, male and female, —to keep alive a seed on 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 in seven days more, I, am sending rain on the earth, forty days and forty nights, —so will I wipe out all the living things which I have made, from off the face of the ground.

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 to all that Yahweh commanded him.

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

6 Now, Noah, was six hundred years old, —when, the flood, came, even waters on the earth.

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

7 So Noah entered, and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him into the ark, —from before 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 the beasts that were clean, and of the beasts that were not clean, —and of the birds, and everything that creepeth on the ground,

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

9 two and two, went they in unto Noah, into the ark male and female, —as God 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, in the seven days, —that the waters of the flood, came on the earth.

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

11 In the six hundredth year, the year of the life of Noah. in the second month on the seventeenth day of the month on this day, were burst open all the fountains of the great roaring deep, and the windows of the heavens, were set open.

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 it came to pass that the heavy rain was on the earth, —forty days and forty nights.)

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

13 On this selfsame day, entered Noah, and Shem and Ham and Japheth. Noah’s sons, —and Noah’s wife, and his sons’ three wives 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 all the wild-beasts after their kind and all the tame-beasts after their kind, and all the creeping things that creep on the earth after their kind, —and all the birds after their kind, every bird of every wing.

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 So they entered in unto Noah, into the ark, —two and two of all flesh, wherein was the spirit 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 entered, male and female of all flesh, entered, as God commanded him, —and Yahweh shut him in round about.

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 it came to pass, that the flood was forty days on the earth, —and the waters increased and bare up the ark, and it was lifted high 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 increased greatly, on the earth, —and the ark went its way on 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 Yea the waters, prevailed very greatly, on the earth, —so that all the high mountains became covered, that were under all the heavens:

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 upwards, prevailed the waters, so that the mountains became covered.

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

21 And all flesh ceased to breathe that moved on the earth, of birds and of tame-beasts and of wild-beasts, and of all the swarming things that swarm on the earth, —and all mankind.

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 the spirit of life of all that were on the dry ground 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 Thus was wiped out all that existed on the face of the ground, from man unto beast unto creeping thing, and unto the bird of the heavens, thus were they wiped out from the earth, —so that there was left—only Noah 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 Thus prevailed the waters on the earth, —a hundred and fifty days.

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