¹ And Jehovah said to Noaḥ, Come thou^◦ and all thy house into^▵ the ark^◦; for I have seen thee, that thou art just before Me in this generation.

² Of every clean beast thou shalt take for thee seven by seven, a man^◦ and his wife^*; and of the beast that is not clean, this^◦ by twos, a man^◦ and his wife.

³ Of the fowl of the heavens also seven by seven, male and female, to cause seed to live on the faces of all the earth.

⁴ For in yet seven days I^▵ will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; and every being^◦* that I have made will I wipe·​·away from on the faces of the ground.

⁵ And Noaḥ did according·​·to all that Jehovah commanded him.

⁶ And Noaḥ was a son of six hundred years, and the flood of waters was on the earth.

⁷ And Noaḥ came·​·in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with^◦ him, into^▵ the ark^◦, from before the waters of the flood.

⁸ Of the clean beast, and of the beast that is not^◦ clean, and of the fowl, and of all that creeps on the ground,

⁹ there came·​·in two and two to^▵ Noaḥ into^▵ the ark^◦, male and female, as^◦ God had commanded Noaḥ.

¹⁰ And it was, after the seven days, that the waters of the flood were on the earth.

¹¹ In the year six hundred of the years of the life of Noaḥ, in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, in this day all the fountains of the great^◦ abyss were split·​·open, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.

¹² And the shower was on the earth forty days and forty nights.

¹³ In this same day came Noaḥ, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noaḥ, and the wife of Noaḥ, 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 on the land according·​·to^▵ its kind; and every fowl according·​·to^▵ its kind, every bird^*, every winged thing.

¹⁵ And they came·​·in to^▵ Noaḥ into^▵ the ark^◦, two and two of all flesh in which^◦ is the spirit of lives

¹⁶ And they who came·​·in, came·​·in male and female of all flesh, as^◦ God had commanded him. And Jehovah shut behind^▫ him.

¹⁷ And the flood was forty days on the earth, and the waters multiplied, and bore·​·up the ark^◦, and it was lifted·​·high from on the earth.

¹⁸ And the waters prevailed, and were multiplied exceedingly on the earth; and the ark^◦ went on the faces of the waters.

¹⁹ And the waters prevailed very exceedingly on the earth, and all the lofty mountains were covered that were under all the heavens.

²⁰ Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail, and covered the mountains.

²¹ And all flesh expired that creeps on the land, as·​·to the fowl, and as·​·to the beast, and as·​·to the wild·​·animal, and as·​·to every crawling thing that crawls on the land; and all man.

²² All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of lives, of all that was in the dry^◦ land, died.

²³ And He wiped·​·away every being^◦ that was on the faces of the ground, from man even·​·to beast, even·​·to creeping thing, and even·​·to the fowl of the heavens; and they were wiped·​·away from the land; and Noaḥ only^▵ was·​·left, and that which was with^◦ him in the ark^◦.

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

¹ And it was, that man began to multiply himself upon the faces of the ground, and daughters were born to them.

² And the sons of God saw the daughters of man that they^◦ were good; and they took to themselves wives of all that they chose.

³ And Jehovah said, My spirit shall not contend with man to eternity, because he^◦ is flesh; and his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.

⁴ The Nephilim were in the land in those^◦ days; and even more after the sons of God came·​·in to^▵ the daughters of man, and they gave·​·birth for them; they^◦ are the mighty men^◦, who from an age were men^◦ of renown^*.

⁵ And Jehovah saw that the evil of man was multiplied on^◦ the earth, and that all that is formed by the thoughts of his heart is only evil all the day.

⁶ And Jehovah repented that He had made man on^◦ the earth, and it grieved Him to^▵ His heart.

⁷ And Jehovah said, I will wipe·​·away man, whom I have created, from upon the faces of the ground, from man to^◦ beast, to^◦ creeping thing, and to^◦ the fowl of the heavens; for I repent that I have made them.

⁸ But Noaḥ found grace in the eyes of Jehovah.

⁹ These are the births of Noaḥ; Noaḥ was a man^◦ just and perfect in his generations; Noaḥ walked with^◦ God.

¹⁰ And Noaḥ begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

¹¹ And the earth was corrupt before God; and the earth was·​·filled with violence.

¹² And God saw the earth, and behold it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its way on the earth.

¹³ And God said to Noaḥ, The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence from their faces, and behold I am destroying them with^◦ the earth.

¹⁴ Make for thee an ark^◦ of gopher wood; with^◦ rooms^* thou shalt make the ark^◦, and shalt tar^* it inside and outside with tar^◦.

¹⁵ And this is how^▫ thou shalt make it: three hundred cubits the length of the ark^◦, fifty cubits its breadth, and thirty cubits its height^◦.

¹⁶ A window^* thou shalt make to the ark^◦, and to^▵ a cubit thou shalt complete it from above; and the entrance of the ark^◦ thou shalt set in its side; with lowest^◦, second, and third stories thou shalt make it.

¹⁷ And I^◦, behold I am bringing the flood of waters on the earth, to destroy all flesh wherein^◦ is the spirit of lives from under the heavens; everything that is in the earth shall expire.

¹⁸ And I will raise·​·up My covenant with^◦ thee; and thou shalt come into^▵ the ark^◦, thou^◦ and thy sons, and thy wife, and the wives of thy sons, with^◦ thee.

¹⁹ And from all that lives from all flesh, twos from all, thou shalt bring into^▵ the ark^◦, to keep them alive with^◦ thee; male and female they shall be.

²⁰ Of the fowl after its kind, and of the beast after its kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of all shall come to^▵ thee, to cause them to live.

²¹ And take thou^◦ to thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it to^▵ thee, and it shall be for food for thee and for them.

²² And Noaḥ did according·​·to all that God commanded him; so did he.
