2. Of every clean beast you shall take for yourself seven and seven of each, male and its mate, 1
and of beasts that are not clean, pairs of each, male and its mate. 1
3. Also of the birds of the air 2
seven and seven of each, male and female, to keep their seed alive over the face 3
of the whole earth.
4. For in seven days' time I am making it rain over the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe out everything 4
I have made from over the face 3
of the ground.
5. And Noah did according to all that Jehovah commanded him.
6. And Noah was a son of six hundred years, and a flood of waters came to be over the earth.

11. In the six hundredth year of the years of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were split open, and the floodgates of heaven were opened.
12. And there was rain over the earth for forty days and forty nights.
13. On that very day Noah went in, and Shem and Ham and Japheth, Noah's sons, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark.
14. They, and every wild animal according to its kind, and every beast according to its kind, and every creeping thing that creeps over the earth according to its kind, and every bird according to its kind, every flying thing, and every winged thing.

18. And the waters grew stronger and increased greatly over the earth; and the ark went over the face 3
of the waters.

in its nostrils, everything that was on the dry land, died.
23. And He wiped out every being 4
which was on the face 3
of the ground, from man to beasts, to creeping things, and to birds of the air; 2
and they were wiped out from the earth; and Noah alone remained and that which was with him in the ark.
24. And the waters became more and more over the earth for a hundred and fifty days.
