Genesis 7 (LSV)

1And YHWH says to Noah, “Come, you and all your house, into the Ark, for I have seen you are righteous before Me in this generation;Then the LORD said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and all your family, because I have found you righteous in this generation.

2you take seven pairs from all the clean beasts to yourself, a male and its female; and of the beasts which are not clean—two, a male and its female;You are to take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate; a pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate;

3also, seven pairs from each bird of the heavens, a male and a female, to keep alive seed on the face of all the earth;and seven pairs of every kind of bird of the air, male and female, to preserve their offspring on the face of all the earth.

4for after seven more days I am sending rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and have wiped away all the substance that I have made from off the face of the ground.”For seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living thing I have made.”

5And Noah does according to all that YHWH has commanded him.And Noah did all that the LORD had commanded him.

6And Noah is a son of six hundred years, and the flood of waters has been on the earth.Now Noah was 600 years old when the floodwaters came upon the earth.

7And Noah goes—and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him—into the Ark, out of the presence of the waters of the flood;And Noah and his wife, with his sons and their wives, entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood.

8from the clean beast, and from the beast that is not clean, and from the bird, and of everything that is creeping on the ground,The clean and unclean animals, the birds, and everything that crawls along the ground

9they have come to Noah two by two into the Ark, a male and a female, as God has commanded Noah.came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.

10And it comes to pass, after seven days, that waters of the flood have been on the earth.And after seven days the floodwaters came upon the earth.

11In the six hundredth year of the life of Noah, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on this day all the fountains of the great deep have been broken up, and the network of the heavens has been opened,In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month, all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.

12and the shower is on the earth for forty days and forty nights.And the rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.

13On this very same day Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, went into the Ark—On that very day Noah entered the ark, along with his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and his wife, and the three wives of his sons—

14they, and every living creature after its kind, and every beast after its kind, and every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind (every bird, every wing).they and every kind of wild animal, livestock, crawling creature, bird, and winged creature.

15And they come to Noah, into the Ark, two by two of all the flesh in which is a living spirit;They came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two of every creature with the breath of life.

16and they that are coming in, male and female of all flesh, have come in as God has commanded him, and YHWH closes it for him.And they entered, the male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD shut him in.

17And the flood is on the earth for forty days, and the waters multiply and lift up the Ark, and it is raised up from off the earth;For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and the waters rose and lifted the ark high above the earth.

18and the waters are mighty and multiply exceedingly on the earth; and the Ark goes on the face of the waters.So the waters continued to surge and rise greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the waters.

19And the waters have been very, very mighty on the earth, and all the high mountains are covered which are under the whole heavens;Finally, the waters completely prevailed upon the earth, so that all the high mountains under all the heavens were covered.

20the waters prevailed from above the mountains, and cover them fifteen cubits;The waters rose and covered the mountaintops to a depth of fifteen cubits.

21and all flesh expires that is moving on the earth, among bird, and among livestock, and among beast, and among every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth, and all mankind;And every living thing that moved upon the earth perished—birds, livestock, animals, every creature that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind.

22all in whose nostrils is breath of a living spirit—of all that is in the dry land—have died.Of all that was on dry land, everything that had the breath of life in its nostrils died.

23And all the substance that is on the face of the ground is wiped away—from man to beast, to creeping thing, and to bird of the heavens; indeed, they are wiped away from the earth, and only Noah is left, and those who are with him in the Ark;And every living thing on the face of the earth was destroyed—man and livestock, crawling creatures and birds of the air; they were blotted out from the earth, and only Noah and those with him in the ark remained.

24and the waters are mighty on the earth for one hundred and fifty days.And the waters prevailed upon the earth for 150 days.
