Noah and the Flood

1 Then Yahweh ^H3068 said ^H559 to Noah ^H5146, “Enter ^H935 the ark ^H8392, you and all ^H3605 your household ^H1004, for you alone I have seen ^H7200 to be righteous ^H6662 before ^H6440 Me in this ^H2088 generation ^H1755.

2 You shall take ^H3947 [fn]with you of every ^H3605 clean ^H2889 animal ^H929 [fn]by sevens ^H7651, a male ^H376 and his female ^H802; and of the animals ^H929 that are not clean ^H2889, two ^H8147, a male ^H376 and his female ^H802; 3 also ^H1571 of the birds ^H5775 of the [fn]sky ^H8064, [fn]by sevens ^H7651, male ^H2145 and female ^H5347, to keep ^H2421 their seed ^H2233 alive ^H2421 on the face ^H6440 of all ^H3605 the earth ^H776. 4 For after seven ^H7651 more ^H5750 days ^H3117, I will send ^H4305 rain ^H4305 on the earth ^H776 forty ^H705 days ^H3117 and forty ^H705 nights ^H3915; and I will blot ^H4229 out ^H4229 from the face ^H6440 of the land ^H127 every ^H3605 living ^H3351 thing ^H3351 that I have made ^H6213.” 5 And Noah ^H5146 did ^H6213 according to all ^H3605 that Yahweh ^H3068 had commanded ^H6680 him.

6 Now Noah ^H5146 was six ^H8337 hundred ^H3967 years ^H8141 old ^H1121 when the flood ^H3999 of water ^H4325 [fn]came ^H1961 upon the earth ^H776. 7 Then Noah ^H5146 and his sons ^H1121 and his wife ^H802 and his sons’ ^H1121 wives ^H802 with him entered ^H935 the ark ^H8392 because ^H4480 H6440 of the water ^H4325 of the flood ^H3999. 8 Of clean ^H2889 animals ^H929 and animals ^H929 that are not clean ^H2889 and birds ^H5775 and everything ^H3605 that creeps ^H7430 on the ground ^H127, 9 [fn]by twos ^H8147 they came ^H935 to Noah ^H5146 into the ark ^H8392, male ^H2145 and female ^H5347, as God ^H430 had commanded ^H6680 Noah ^H5146. 10 Now it happened ^H1961 after the seven ^H7651 days ^H3117, that the water ^H4325 of the flood ^H3999 [fn]came ^H1961 upon the earth ^H776. 11 In the six ^H8337 hundredth ^H3967 year ^H8141 of Noah’s ^H5146 life ^H2416, in the second ^H8145 month ^H2320, on the seventeenth ^H7651 H6240 day ^H3117 of the month ^H2320, on this ^H2088 day ^H3117 all ^H3605 the fountains ^H4599 of the great ^H7227 deep ^H8415 split ^H1234 open ^H1234, and the [fn]floodgates ^H699 of the sky ^H8064 were opened ^H6605. 12 Then the rain ^H1653 [fn]came ^H1961 upon the earth ^H776 for forty ^H705 days ^H3117 and forty ^H705 nights ^H3915.

13 On this ^H6106 very ^H6106 day ^H3117 Noah ^H5146 and Shem ^H8035 and Ham ^H2526 and Japheth ^H3315, the sons ^H1121 of Noah ^H5146, and Noah’s ^H5146 wife ^H802 and the three ^H7969 wives ^H802 of his sons ^H1121 with them, entered ^H935 the ark ^H8392, 14 they and every ^H3605 beast ^H2416 after its kind ^H4327, and all ^H3605 the cattle ^H929 after [fn]their kind ^H4327, and every ^H3605 creeping ^H7431 thing ^H7431 that creeps ^H7430 on the earth ^H776 after its kind ^H4327, and every ^H3605 bird ^H5775 after its kind ^H4327—every ^H3605 [fn]fowl ^H6833, every winged ^H3671 creature. 15 So they came ^H935 to Noah ^H5146 into the ark ^H8392, by twos ^H8147 of all ^H3605 flesh ^H1320 in which ^H834 was the breath ^H7307 of life ^H2416. 16 And those that entered ^H935, male ^H2145 and female ^H5347 of all ^H3605 flesh ^H1320, entered ^H935 as God ^H430 had commanded ^H6680 him; and Yahweh ^H3068 closed ^H5462 it behind ^H1157 him.

17 Then the flood ^H3999 [fn]came ^H1961 upon the earth ^H776 for forty ^H705 days ^H3117, and the water ^H4325 multiplied ^H7235 and lifted ^H5375 up ^H5375 the ark ^H8392, so that it rose ^H7311 above ^H4480 H5921 the earth ^H776. 18 And the water ^H4325 prevailed ^H1396 and multiplied ^H7235 greatly ^H3966 upon the earth ^H776, and the ark ^H8392 went ^H1980 on the [fn]surface ^H6440 of the water ^H4325. 19 And the water ^H4325 prevailed ^H1396 more ^H3966 and more ^H3966 upon the earth ^H776, so that all ^H3605 the high ^H1364 mountains ^H2022 under ^H8478 all ^H3605 the heavens ^H8064 were covered ^H3680. 20 The water ^H4325 prevailed ^H1396 [fn]fifteen ^H2568 H6240 cubits ^H520 higher ^H4605, and the mountains ^H2022 were covered ^H3680. 21 And all ^H3605 flesh ^H1320 that [fn]moved ^H7430 on the earth ^H776 breathed ^H1478 its last ^H1478, that is birds ^H5775 and cattle ^H929 and beasts ^H2416 and every ^H3605 swarming ^H8318 thing ^H8318 that swarms ^H8317 upon the earth ^H776, as well as all ^H3605 mankind ^H120. 22 All ^H3605 in whose ^H834 nostrils ^H639 was the breath ^H5397 of the spirit ^H7307 of life ^H2416—of all ^H3605 that was on the dry ^H2724 land ^H2724—died ^H4191. 23 Thus He blotted ^H4229 out ^H4229 [fn]every ^H3605 living ^H3351 thing ^H3351 that was upon the face ^H6440 of the land ^H127, from man ^H120 to animals ^H929 to creeping ^H7431 things ^H7431 and to birds ^H5775 of the [fn]sky ^H8064, and they were blotted ^H4229 out ^H4229 from the earth ^H776; and only ^H389 Noah ^H5146 remained ^H7604, and those that were with him in the ark ^H8392. 24 And the water ^H4325 prevailed ^H1396 upon the earth ^H776 150 ^H3967 H2572 days ^H3117.
