The Great Flood
1 Then the aLord said to Noah, b“Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that cyou are righteous before Me in this generation.
2 You shall take with you seven each of every aclean animal, a male and his female; btwo each of animals that are unclean, a male and his female;
3 also seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep1 the species alive on the face of all the earth.
4 For after aseven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth bforty days and forty nights, and I will1 destroy from the face of the earth all living things that I have made.”
5 aAnd Noah did according to all that the Lord commanded him.
6 Noah was asix hundred years old when the floodwaters were on the earth.
7 aSo Noah, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, went into the ark because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean animals, of animals that are unclean, of birds, and of everything that creeps on the earth,
9 two by two they went into the ark to Noah, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were on the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on athat day all bthe fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the cwindows of heaven were opened.
