Genesis 7

TKJU^{(i) 1} And the LORD said to Noah, "Come into the ark, you and all your house; for I have seen you are righteous before me in this generation. ² You shall take with you every clean beast by sevens, the male and his female: And of beasts that are not clean by two's, the male and his female. ³ Of fowls of the air also by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. ⁴ For in seven more days, I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made I will destroy from off the face of the earth. ⁵ And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him. ⁶ And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. 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. ⁸ Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creeps upon the earth, ⁹ they went up two and two into the ark to Noah, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah. ¹⁰ And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. ¹¹ In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. ¹² And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. ¹³ On the same day, Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, they entered into the ark; ¹⁴ they, and every beast after its kind, and all domestic beasts after their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth after its kind, and every fowl after its kind, every bird of every sort. ¹⁵ And they went into the ark to Noah, two and two of all flesh, in which is the breath of life. ¹⁶ And those that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: And the LORD shut him in. ¹⁷ And the flood was upon the earth forty days; and the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth. ¹⁸ And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face 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. ²⁰ The waters prevailed upward fifteen cubits; and the mountains were covered.15 Hebrew cubits (of the scriptures) is approximately 27.4 feet, or 8.3m; per Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary and Easton's Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Appendix VI. ²¹ And all flesh that moved upon the earth died, both of fowl, and of domestic beast, and of wild beast, and of every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth, and every man: ²² All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that were on the dry land, died. ²³ And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and domestic beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: And only Noah remained alive, and those that were with him in the ark. ²⁴ And the waters prevailed upon the earth one hundred and fifty days.
