Genesis Chapter 7

Genesis Chapter 7
1 And the Lord said unto Noah, Enter
thou and all thine house into the Ark: for
thee have I seen righteous before me in
this age.
2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to
thee by sevens, the male and his female:
but of unclean beasts by couples, the
male and his female. 3 Of the fouls also
of the heaven by sevens, male and
female, to keep seed alive upon the
whole earth.
4 For seven days hence I will cause it
rain upon the earth forty days and forty
nights, and all the substance that I have
made, will I destroy from off the earth.
5 Noah therefore did according unto all
that the Lord commanded him. 6 And
Noah was six hundred years old, when
the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 So Noah entered and his sons, and his
wife, and his sons’ wives with him into
the ark, because of the waters of the
flood.
8 Of the clean beasts, and of the unclean
beasts, and of the fouls, and of all that
creepeth upon the earth,
9 There came two and two unto Noah
into the ark, male and female, as God
had commanded Noah.
10 And so after seven days the waters of
the flood were upon the earth. 11 In the
six hundredth year of Noah’s life in the
second month, the seventeenth day of the
month, in the same day were all the
fountains of the great deep broken up,
and the windows of heaven were
opened,
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty
days and forty nights. 13 In the self same
day entered Noah with Shem, and Ham
and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and
Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his
sons with them into the ark.
14 They and every beast after his kind,
and all cattle after their kind, and every
thing that creepeth and moveth upon the
earth after his kind, and every foul after
his kind, even every bird of every
feather.
15 For they came to Noah into the ark,
two and two, of all flesh wherein is the
breath of life.
16 And they entering in, came male and
female of all flesh, as God had
commanded him: and the Lord shut him
in.
17 Then the flood was forty days upon
the earth, and the waters were increased,
and bear up the ark, which was lift up
above the earth. 18 The waters also
waxed strong, and were increased
exceedingly upon the earth, and the ark
went upon the waters.
19 The waters prevailed so exceedingly
upon the earth, that all the high
mountains, that are under the whole
heaven, were covered.
20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters
prevail, when the mountains were
covered.
21 Then all flesh perished that moved
upon the earth, both foul and cattle and
beast, and every thing that creepeth and
moveth upon the earth, and every man.
22 Everything in whose nostrils the
spirit of life did breathe, whatsoever
they were in the dry land, they died.
23 So he destroyed everything that was
upon the earth, from man to beast, to the
creeping thing, and to the foul of the
heaven: they were even destroyed from
the earth. And Noah only remained; and
they that were with him in the ark.
24 And the waters prevailed upon the
earth an hundred and fifty days.
