The Flood

7The LORD said to Noah, "Go into the boat with your whole family; I have found that you are the only one in all the world who does what is right.H3068H559H5146H935H1004H8392H7200H6662H6440H2088H1755
2Take with you seven pairs of each kind of ritually clean animal, but only one pair of each kind of unclean animal.H2889H929H3947H7651H7651H376H802H929H2889H1931H8147H376H802
3Take also seven pairs of each kind of bird. Do this so that every kind of animal and bird will be kept alive to reproduce again on the earth.H5775H8064H7651H7651H2145H5347H2421H2233H2421H6440H776
4Seven days from now I am going to send rain that will fall for forty days and nights, in order to destroy all the living beings that I have made."H5750H7651H3117H4305H776H705H3117H705H3915H3605H3351H6213H4229H5921H6440H127
5And Noah did everything that the LORD commanded.H5146H6213H3068H6680
6Noah was six hundred years old when the flood came on the earth.H5146H8337H3967H8141H1121H3999H4325H776
7He and his wife, and his sons and their wives, went into the boat to escape the flood.H5146H935H1121H802H1121H802H8392H6440H4325H3999
8A male and a female of every kind of animal and bird, whether ritually clean or unclean,H2889H929H929H2889H5775H7430H127
9went into the boat with Noah, as God had commanded.H935H8147H8147H5146H8392H2145H5347H834H430H6680H5146
10Seven days later the flood came.H7651H3117H4325H3999H776
11When Noah was six hundred years old, on the seventeenth day of the second month all the outlets of the vast body of water beneath the earth burst open, all the floodgates of the sky were opened,H8141H8337H3967H8141H5146H2416H8145H2320H7651H6240H3117H2320H2088H3117H4599H7227H8415H1234H699H8064H6605
12and rain fell on the earth for forty days and nights.H1653H776H705H3117H705H3915
13On that same day Noah and his wife went into the boat with their three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and their wives.H6106H3117H935H5146H8035H2526H3315H1121H5146H5146H802H7969H802H1121H8392
14With them went every kind of animal, domestic and wild, large and small, and every kind of bird.H1992H2416H4327H929H4327H7431H7430H776H4327H5775H4327H6833H3671
15A male and a female of each kind of living being went into the boat with Noah,H935H5146H8392H8147H8147H1320H834H7307H2416
16as God had commanded. Then the LORD shut the door behind Noah.H935H935H2145H5347H1320H430H6680H3068H5462
17The flood continued for forty days, and the water became deep enough for the boat to float.H3999H705H3117H776H4325H7235H5375H8392H7311H776
18The water became deeper, and the boat drifted on the surface.H4325H1396H7235H3966H776H8392H3212H6440H4325
19It became so deep that it covered the highest mountains;H4325H1396H3966H3966H776H1364H2022H8478H8064H3680
20it went on rising until it was about twenty-five feet above the tops of the mountains.H6240H2568H520H4605H4325H1396H2022H3680
21Every living being on the earth died - every bird, every animal, and every person.H1320H1478H7430H776H5775H929H2416H8318H8317H776H120
22Everything on earth that breathed died.H639H5397H7307H2416H2724H4191
23The LORD destroyed all living beings on the earth - human beings, animals, and birds. The only ones left were Noah and those who were with him in the boat.H3351H4229H6440H127H120H929H7431H5775H8064H4229H776H5146H389H7604H834H8392
24The water did not start going down for a hundred and fifty days.H4325H1396H776H3967H2572H3117
