*
And after seven days the waters of the flood came upon the earth .
*
In the six hundredth year 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 burst forth ,
and the windows of the heavens were opened .
*
And rain fell upon the earth forty days and forty nights .
*
On the very same day Noah and his sons ,
Shem and Ham and Japheth ,
and Noah '
s wife and the three wives of his sons with them entered the ark ,
*
they and every beast according to its kind ,
and all the cattle according to their kinds ,
and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth according to its kind ,
and every bird according to its kind ,
every bird of every sort .
*
They went into the ark with Noah ,
two and two of all flesh in which there was the breath of life .
*
And they that entered ,
male and female of all flesh ,
went in as God had commanded him ;
and the LORD shut him in .
*
The flood continued forty days upon the earth ;
and the waters increased ,
and bore up the ark ,
and it rose high above the earth .
*
The waters prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth ;
and the ark floated on the face of the waters .
*
And the waters prevailed so mightily upon the earth that all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered ;
*
the waters prevailed above the mountains ,
covering them fifteen cubits deep .
*
And all flesh died that moved upon the earth ,
birds ,
cattle ,
beasts ,
all swarming creatures that swarm upon the earth ,
and every man ;
*
everything on the dry land in whose nostrils was the breath of life died .
*
He blotted out every living thing that was upon the face of the ground ,
man and animals and creeping things and birds of the air ;
they were blotted out from the earth .
Only Noah was left ,
and those that were with him in the ark .
*
And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days .
