1 The LORD then said to Noah, "Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation.2 Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate,3 and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth.4 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 creature I have made."5 And Noah did all that the LORD commanded him.6 Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters came on the earth.7 And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood.8 Pairs of clean and unclean animals, of birds and of all creatures that move along the ground,9 male and female, came to Noah and entered the ark, as God had commanded Noah.10 And after the seven days the floodwaters came on the earth.11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, on the seventeenth day of the second month —on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.12 And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.13 On that very day Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark.14 They had with them every wild animal according to its kind, all livestock according to their kinds, every creature that moves along the ground according to its kind and every bird according to its kind, everything with wings.15 Pairs of all creatures that have the breath of life in them came to Noah and entered the ark.16 The animals going in were male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD shut him in.17 For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the earth.18 The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water.19 They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered.20 The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than fifteen cubits. "[^2]21 Every living thing that moved on land perished —birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind.22 Everything on dry land that had the breath of life in its nostrils died.23 Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; people and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark.24 The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days.

1 Dixitque Dominus ad eum : Ingredere tu et omnis domus tua in arcam : te enim vidi justum coram me in generatione hac. 2 Ex omnibus animantibus mundis tolle septena et septena, masculum et feminam : de animantibus vero immundis duo et duo, masculum et feminam. 3 Sed et de volatilibus cli septena et septena, masculum et feminam : ut salvetur semen super faciem univers terr. 4 Adhuc enim, et post dies septem ego pluam super terram quadraginta diebus et quadraginta noctibus : et delebo omnem substantiam, quam feci, de superficie terr. 5 Fecit ergo No omnia qu mandaverat ei Dominus. 6 Eratque sexcentorum annorum quando diluvii aqu inundaverunt super terram. 7 Et ingressus est No et filii ejus, uxor ejus et uxores filiorum ejus cum eo in arcam propter aquas diluvii. 8 De animantibus quoque mundis et immundis, et de volucribus, et ex omni quod movetur super terram, 9 duo et duo ingressa sunt ad No in arcam, masculus et femina, sicut prceperat Dominus No. 10 Cumque transissent septem dies, aqu diluvii inundaverunt super terram. 11 Anno sexcentesimo vit No, mense secundo, septimodecimo die mensis, rupti sunt omnes fontes abyssi magn, et cataract cli apert sunt : 12 et facta est pluvia super terram quadraginta diebus et quadraginta noctibus. 13 In articulo diei illius ingressus est No, et Sem, et Cham, et Japheth filii ejus ; uxor illius, et tres uxores filiorum ejus cum eis in arcam : 14 ipsi et omne animal secundum genus suum, universaque jumenta in genere suo, et omne quod movetur super terram in genere suo, cunctumque volatile secundum genus suum, univers aves, omnesque volucres, 15 ingress sunt ad No in arcam, bina et bina ex omni carne, in qua erat spiritus vit. 16 Et qu ingressa sunt, masculus et femina ex omni carne introierunt, sicut prceperat ei Deus : et inclusit eum Dominus deforis.17 Factumque est diluvium quadraginta diebus super terram : et multiplicat sunt aqu, et elevaverunt arcam in sublime a terra. 18 Vehementer enim inundaverunt, et omnia repleverunt in superficie terr : porro arca ferebatur super aquas. 19 Et aqu prvaluerunt nimis super terram : opertique sunt omnes montes excelsi sub universo clo. 20 Quindecim cubitis altior fuit aqua super montes, quos operuerat. 21 Consumptaque est omnis caro qu movebatur super terram, volucrum, animantium, bestiarum, omniumque reptilium, qu reptant super terram : universi homines, 22 et cuncta, in quibus spiraculum vit est in terra, mortua sunt. 23 Et delevit omnem substantiam qu erat super terram, ab homine usque ad pecus, tam reptile quam volucres cli : et deleta sunt de terra. Remansit autem solus No, et qui cum eo erant in arca. 24 Obtinueruntque aqu terram centum quinquaginta diebus.
