1 And YHWH said to Noah, “Come, you and all your house, into the ark, for you I have seen righteous before My face in this generation. VP

2 From every clean animal you shall take for yourself seven [by] seven, a man and his wife; and from the animal that [is] not clean, [from] these two, a man and his wife; VP

3 also from the bird of the heavens, seven [by] seven, male and female, to keep alive the seed upon the face of all the earth. VP

4 For in seven days more I am causing it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and I will wipe out every living thing that I have made from the face of the ground!” VP

5 And Noah did according to all that YHWH had commanded him. VP

6 And Noah [was] a son of six hundred years, and the flood of waters came upon the earth. VP

7 And Noah came—and his sons, and his wife, and the wives of his sons with him—into the ark, from the face of the waters of the flood. VP

8 From the clean animal, and from the animal that [is] not clean, and from the bird, and everything that is crawling on the ground, VP

9 two [by] two they came to Noah, to the ark, male and female, as God had commanded Noah. VP

10 And it came to pass, after the seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. VP

11 In the year of six hundred years of the life of Noah, in the second month, on the seven [and] tenth day of the month—on this day burst forth all the fountains of the great deep, and the windows of the heavens were opened. VP

12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. VP

13 In the bone of this day came Noah, and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and the wife, of Noah and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark— VP

14 they and every beast according to its kind, and all the livestock according to its kind, and every crawling thing that is crawling on the earth according to its kind, and every bird according to its kind (every bird of every wing). VP

15 And they came to Noah, to the ark, two [by] two, from all the flesh in which [is] the spirit of life. VP

16 And those coming in, male and female from all flesh, they came as God had commanded him. And YHWH shut [it] behind him. VP

17 And the flood was forty days on the earth, and the waters multiplied, and they lifted up the ark, and it rose high above the earth. VP

18 And the waters prevailed and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark moved about on the face of the waters. VP

19 And the waters prevailed greatly, greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains that [were] under all the heavens were covered. VP

20 Five [and] ten cubits upward the waters prevailed, and the mountains were covered. VP

21 And all flesh that is crawling on the earth perished—the bird, and the livestock, and the beast, and every swarming thing that is swarming on the earth, and all mankind. VP

22 Everything that [had] in its nostrils the breath of the spirit of life—of all that [was] on the dry land—died. VP

23 And He wiped out every living thing that [was] on the face of the ground: From mankind to livestock to crawling thing and to the bird of the heavens. And they were wiped out from the earth, and only Noah remained, and those who [were] with him in the ark. VP

24 And the waters prevailed on the earth fifty and a hundred days. VP
