1 耶和華挪亞:你和你的全家都要進入方舟;因為在這世代中,我見你在我面前是人。

2 凡潔淨的畜類,你要帶母;不潔淨的畜類,你要帶一公一母;

3 空中的飛也要帶母,可以留種,活在全上;

4 因為再過,我要降四十晝夜,把我所造的各種活物都從上除滅。

5 挪亞就遵著耶和華所吩咐的行了。

6 洪水氾濫在上的時候,挪亞整歲。

7 挪亞就同他的妻和兒子兒婦都進入方舟,躲避洪水。

8 潔淨的畜類和不潔淨的畜類,飛並地上一切的昆蟲,

9 是一對一對的,有公有母,到挪亞那裡進入方舟,正如所吩咐挪亞的。

10 過了那洪水氾濫在上。

11 當挪亞歲,二十七日那一天,大淵的泉源都裂開了上的窗戶也敞開了

12 四十晝夜降大雨在上。

13 正當那日,挪亞和他個兒子、含、雅弗,並挪亞的妻子個兒婦,都進入方舟。

14 他們和百,各從其類,一切牲畜,各從其類,爬在上的昆蟲,各從其類,一切禽,各從其類,都進入方舟。

15 凡有血、有氣息的活物,一對一對地到挪亞那裡,進入方舟。

16 凡有血進入方舟的,都是有公有母,正如所吩咐挪亞的。耶和華就把他在方舟裡頭。

17 洪水氾濫在四十,水往上長,把方舟從上漂起。

18 水勢浩大,在上大大往上長,方舟在水面上漂來漂去。

19 水勢在上極其浩大,都淹沒了。

20 勢比高過十五肘,嶺都淹沒了。

21 凡在上有血動物,就是飛牲畜、走,和爬在上的昆蟲,以及所有的人,都死了。

22 凡在旱地上、鼻孔有氣息的生靈都死了

23 上各類的活物,連人帶牲畜、昆蟲,以及空中的飛,都從上除滅了,只留下挪亞和那些與他同在方舟裡的。

24 水勢浩大,在上共一五十

917. 'According to their families' means pairs. This is clear from what has been stated already in Chapter 7:2, 3, 15, about them going into the ark 'seven by seven of the clean, and two by two of the unclean', whereas in the present verse it is said that they went out 'according to families'. The reason no reference is made to seven by seven of the clean and two by two of the unclean but to 'families' is that the Lord has now brought all things into such order that they represent families. With a regenerate person goods and truths, that is, the things of charity and those of faith deriving from it, interrelate like blood relatives and relatives through marriage, and so they are like families descended from a single stock or parent, in the way they are in heaven, 685. This is the order which the Lord brings to goods and truths. The express meaning in the present verse is that every single good looks upon its own truth as one joined to it in marriage. And just as in general charity looks to faith, so in every individual part good looks to truth. For unless the general whole is the product of the individual part there is no general whole. It is from the individual parts that the general comes into being, and it is by virtue of that that it is called the general. With every person the situation is as follows: As is the person in general so are the most individual details of his affections and ideas. These are what he is composed of or what make him what he is in general. People therefore who have been regenerated become in the most individual details of their person what they are in general character.
