Genesis 7 - The Scriptures 1998

¹ And יהוה  said to Noaḥ

² “Of all the clean beasts take with you seven pairs, a male and his female; and of the beasts that are unclean two, a male and his female;

³ and of birds of the heavens seven pairs, male and female, to keep offspring alive on the face of all the earth.

⁴ “For after seven more days I am sending rain on the earth, forty days and forty nights, and shall wipe from the face of the earth all that stand that I created.”

⁵ And Noaḥ

⁶ Now Noaḥ

⁷ And Noaḥ

⁸ Of the clean beasts and of the beasts that are unclean, and of birds, and of all that creep on the earth,

⁹ two by two they went into the ark to Noaḥ

¹⁰ And it came to be after seven days that the waters of the flood were on the earth.

¹¹ In the six hundredth year of Noaḥ

¹² And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.

¹³ On that same day Noaḥ

¹⁴ they and every living creature after its kind, and every beast after its kind, and every creeping creature that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.

¹⁵ And they went into the ark to Noaḥ

¹⁶ And those going in, male and female of all flesh, went in as Elohim had commanded him, and יהוה  shut him in.

¹⁷ And the flood was on the earth forty days, and the waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it rose high above the earth.

¹⁸ And the waters were mighty and greatly increased on the earth, and the ark moved about on the surface of the waters.

¹⁹ And the waters were exceedingly mighty on the earth, and all the high mountains under all the heavens were covered.

²⁰ The waters became mighty, fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered.

²¹ And all flesh died that moved on the earth – birds and cattle and beasts and every creeping creature that creeps on the earth, and all mankind.

²² All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, all that was on the dry land, died.

²³ So He wiped off all that stand, which were on the face of the ground – both man and beast, creeping creature and bird of the heavens. And they were wiped off from the earth. And only Noaḥ

²⁴ And the waters were mighty on the earth, one hundred and fifty days.
