Gen 7:3

Gen 7:3also of the birds of the [fn]sky, [fn]by sevens, male and female, to keep [fn]offspring alive on the face of all the earth.

Gen 7:4

Gen 7:4“For after seven more days, I will send rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; and I will blot out from the face of the land every living thing that I have made.”

Gen 7:5

Gen 7:5Noah did according to all that the LORD had commanded him.

Gen 7:6

Gen 7:6Now Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of water [fn]came upon the earth.

Gen 7:7

Gen 7:7Then Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him entered the ark because of the water of the flood.

Gen 7:8

Gen 7:8Of clean animals and animals that are not clean and birds and everything that creeps on the ground,

Gen 7:9

Gen 7:9there went into the ark to Noah [fn]by twos, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.

Gen 7:10

Gen 7:10It came about after the seven days, that the water of the flood [fn]came upon the earth.

Gen 7:11

Gen 7:11In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the [fn]floodgates of the sky were opened.

Gen 7:12

Gen 7:12The rain [fn]fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.

Gen 7:13

Gen 7:13On the very same day Noah and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark,

Gen 7:14

Gen 7:14they and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after [fn]their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, [fn]all sorts of birds.

Gen 7:15

Gen 7:15So they went into the ark to Noah, by twos of all flesh in which was the breath of life.

Gen 7:16

Gen 7:16Those that entered, male and female of all flesh, entered as God had commanded him; and the LORD closed it behind him.

Gen 7:17

Gen 7:17Then the flood [fn]came upon the earth for forty days, and the water increased and lifted up the ark, so that it rose above the earth.

Gen 7:18

Gen 7:18The water prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth, and the ark [fn]floated on the [fn]surface of the water.

Gen 7:19

Gen 7:19The water prevailed more and more upon the earth, so that all the high mountains [fn]everywhere under the heavens were covered.

Gen 7:20

Gen 7:20The water prevailed fifteen [fn]cubits higher, and the mountains were covered.

Gen 7:21

Gen 7:21All flesh that [fn]moved on the earth perished, birds and cattle and beasts and every swarming thing that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind;

Gen 7:22

Gen 7:22of all that was on the dry land, all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died.

Gen 7:23

Gen 7:23Thus He blotted out [fn]every living thing that was upon the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the [fn]sky, and they were blotted out from the earth; and only Noah was left, together with those that were with him in the ark.

Gen 7:24
