* Then the LORD said to Noah , "Come into the ark , you and all your household , because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation . * You shall take with you seven each of every clean animal , a male and his female ; two each of animals that are unclean , a male and his female ; * also seven each of birds of the air , male and female , to keep the species alive on the face of all the earth . * For after seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights , and I will destroy from the face of the earth all living things that I have made ." * And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him . * Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters were on the earth . * So Noah , with his sons , his wife , and his sons ' wives , went into the ark because of the waters of the flood . * Of clean animals , of animals that are unclean , of birds , and of everything that creeps on the earth , * two by two they went into the ark to Noah , male and female , as God had commanded Noah . * And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were on the earth . * In the six hundredth year of Noah 's life , in the second month , the seventeenth day of the month , on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up , and the windows of heaven were opened . * And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights . * On the very same day Noah and Noah 's sons , Shem , Ham , and Japheth , and Noah 's wife and the three wives of his sons with them , entered the ark -- * they and every beast after its kind , all cattle after their kind , every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind , and every bird after its kind , every bird of every sort . * And they went into the ark to Noah , two by two , of all flesh in which is the breath of life . * So those that entered , male and female of all flesh , went in as God had commanded him ; and the LORD shut him in . * Now the flood was on the earth forty days . The waters increased and lifted up the ark , and it rose high above the earth . * The waters prevailed and greatly increased on the earth , and the ark moved about on the surface of the waters . * And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth , and all the high hills under the whole heaven were covered . * The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward , and the mountains were covered . * And all flesh died that moved on the earth : birds and cattle and beasts and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth , and every man . * All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life , all that was on the dry land , died . * So He destroyed all living things which were on the face of the ground : both man and cattle , creeping thing and bird of the air . They were destroyed from the earth . Only Noah and those who were with him in the ark remained alive . * And the waters prevailed on the earth one hundred and fifty days .
