Genesis

1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righ­teous be­fore me in this gen­er­a­tion. 2 Of ev­ery clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sev­ens, the male and his fe­male: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his 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. 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. 5 And Noah did ac­cord­ing unto 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 creep­eth upon the earth, 9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, 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 were all the foun­tains of the great deep bro­ken up, and the win­dows of heav­en were opened. 12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. 13 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 ev­ery beast af­ter his kind, and all the cat­tle af­ter their kind, and ev­ery creep­ing thing that creep­eth upon the earth af­ter his kind, and ev­ery fowl af­ter his kind, ev­ery bird of ev­ery sort. 15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, where­in is the breath of life. 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. 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. 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 Fif­teen cu­bits up­ward did the wa­ters pre­vail; and the moun­tains 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 creep­eth upon the earth, and ev­ery man: 22 All in whose nos­trils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. 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. 24 And the wa­ters pre­vailed upon the earth an hun­dred and fifty days.
