001:007:001
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.

001:007:002
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.

001:007:003
Of fowls also of the air by sevens,
the male and the female;
to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

001:007:004
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.

001:007:005
And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.

001:007:006
And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.

001:007:007
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.

001:007:008
Of clean beasts,
and of beasts that are not clean,
and of fowls,
and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,

001:007:009
There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark,
the male and the female,
as God had commanded Noah.

001:007:010
And it came to pass after seven days,
that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.

001:007:011
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.

001:007:012
And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

001:007:013
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;

001:007:014
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.

001:007:015
And they went in unto Noah into the ark,
two and two of all flesh,
wherein is the breath of life.

001:007:016
And they that went in,
went in male and female of all flesh,
as God had commanded him:
and the LORD shut him in.

001:007:017
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.

001:007:018
And the waters prevailed,
and were increased greatly upon the earth;
and the ark went upon the face of the waters.

001:007:019
And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth;
and all the high hills,
that were under the whole heaven,
were covered.

001:007:020
Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail;
and the mountains were covered.

001:007:021
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:

001:007:022
All in whose nostrils was the breath of life,
of all that was in the dry land,
died.

001:007:023
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.

001:007:024
And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
