1The LORD then said to Noah, "Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation.

1Then the LORD told Noah, "Come—you and all your household—into the ark, because I've seen that you alone are righteous in this generation.

2Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate,

2You are to take with you seven pairs of every clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of the unclean animals, a male and its mate;

3and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth.

3along with seven pairs of the flying birds, male and female, in order to keep their offspring alive on the surface of all the earth.

4Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made."

4Seven days from now I'll send rain on the earth for 40 days and 40 nights, and I'll destroy every living creature that I've made."

5And Noah did all that the LORD commanded him.

5Noah did everything that the LORD commanded.

6Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters came on the earth.

6Noah was 600 years old when water began to flood the earth.

7And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood.

7Noah, his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives entered the ark with him before the flood waters arrived.

8Pairs of clean and unclean animals, of birds and of all creatures that move along the ground,

8From both clean and unclean animals, from birds, and from everything that crawls on the ground,

9male and female, came to Noah and entered the ark, as God had commanded Noah.

9two by two, male and female, they entered the ark to join Noah, just as God had commanded.

10And after the seven days the floodwaters came on the earth.

10Seven days later, the flooding started.

11In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, on the seventeenth day of the second month--on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.

11On the seventeenth day of the second month, when Noah was 600 years old, all the springs of the great deep burst open, the floodgates of the heavens were opened,

12And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.

12and it rained throughout the earth for 40 days and 40 nights.

13On that very day Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark.

13On that very day, Noah entered the ark with his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, Noah's wife, his sons' three wives with them,

14They had with them every wild animal according to its kind, all livestock according to their kinds, every creature that moves along the ground according to its kind and every bird according to its kind, everything with wings.

14along with every species of wild animal, livestock, crawling creature, bird, and every creature that has wings.

15Pairs of all creatures that have the breath of life in them came to Noah and entered the ark.

15Two of each living creature entered the ark with Noah.

16The animals going in were male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD shut him in.

16The males and females of each living creature entered the ark, just as God had commanded. Then the LORD sealed them inside.

17For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the earth.

17The flood continued throughout the earth for 40 days, while the flood waters increased, lifting the ark so that it rose above the surface of the earth.

18The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water.

18The flood waters continued to surge, increasing throughout the earth, while the ark floated on the surface of the flood water.

19They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered.

19The flood water surged even higher throughout the earth, until all the highest mountains under the sky were covered.

20The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than fifteen cubits.

20The flood waters rose 15 cubits above the mountains.

21Every living thing that moved on land perished--birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind.

21Every living thing on earth died—flying creatures, livestock, wildlife, all creatures that swarm over the earth, and all human beings.

22Everything on dry land that had the breath of life in its nostrils died.

22Everything that breathed and everything that had lived on dry land died.

23Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; people and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark.

23All existing creatures that had lived on the surface of the ground were annihilated, from humans to livestock, from crawling creatures to birds of the sky. They were wiped off the earth. Only Noah remained, along with those who were with him in the ark.

24The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days.

24The flood waters surged over the earth for 150 days.
