1The day came when Yahweh said to Noah, “Come into the ark, you and your entire household, for I have found you to be the only one righteous in my eyes in this generation.
2Take with you seven pairs of all the clean animals, both male and female, and one pair of all the unclean animals, both male and female.
3Take seven pairs of flying birds of all kinds, male and female, to make sure they survive on the earth.
4For in seven days I will send rain and flood the earth for forty days and forty nights. Every living thing that I made I will wipe off the face of the earth.”
5Noah obeyed all that Yahweh had commanded him.
6Noah was six hundred years old when the great flood came on the earth.
7Noah and his wife and his sons and their wives boarded the ark to escape the flood.
8-9Two of each animal, the male and female, clean and unclean, large and small, along with birds and crawling things, entered the ark with Noah as God had commanded.
10Then seven days later, massive floodwaters covered the earth.
11It started in the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month on the seventeenth day. On that day, all the fountains of the subterranean deep cracked open and burst up through the ground. Heaven’s floodgates were opened,
12and heavy rains fell on the earth for forty days and forty nights.
13On that very day, Noah and his wife, their sons, Ham, Shem, and Japheth, and their wives, entered safely into the ark.
14-15Pairs of every species of animal entered with them—wild animals, domesticated animals, large and small, and every species of bird and winged creatures—every animal that has the breath of life came into the ark with Noah.
16Both male and female went inside as God had commanded Noah; and Yahweh himself shut them in.
17For forty days, the flood engulfed the earth. The swelling floodwaters lifted up the ark until it rose high above the ground.
18The raging flood completely inundated the earth, but the ark floated safely, drifting upon the surface of the water,
19until the highest mountains were completely submerged beneath the rising waters.
20The waters rose over twenty-two feet above the highest mountains.
21Every living thing on the earth perished—domesticated animals, wild animals, birds, everything that moved on the earth, and all mankind perished.
22Everything perished—every animal on earth with the breath of life in its nostrils died.
23All life on earth was blotted out—all that he had made, animals large and small, wild and domesticated, birds and reptiles, including humanity, was wiped off the face of the earth. Only Noah was left behind, and those who were in the ark with him.
24And the waters covered the earth for 150 days.
