New Living Translation

1Then 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.

1When everything was ready, the LORD said to Noah, “Go into the boat with all your family, for among all the people of the earth, I can see that you alone are righteous.

2You 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;

2Take with you seven pairs—male and female—of each animal I have approved for eating and for sacrifice, and take one pair of each of the others.

3also seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep the species alive on the face of all the earth.

3Also take seven pairs of every kind of bird. There must be a male and a female in each pair to ensure that all life will survive on the earth after the flood.

4For 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.”

4Seven days from now I will make the rains pour down on the earth. And it will rain for forty days and forty nights, until I have wiped from the earth all the living things I have created.”

5And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him.

5So Noah did everything as the LORD commanded him.

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

6Noah was 600 years old when the flood covered the earth.

7So Noah, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, went into the ark because of the waters of the flood.

7He went on board the boat to escape the flood—he and his wife and his sons and their wives.

8Of clean animals, of animals that are unclean, of birds, and of everything that creeps on the earth,

8With them were all the various kinds of animals—those approved for eating and for sacrifice and those that were not—along with all the birds and the small animals that scurry along the ground.

9two by two they went into the ark to Noah, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.

9They entered the boat in pairs, male and female, just as God had commanded Noah.

10And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were on the earth.

10After seven days, the waters of the flood came and covered the earth.

11In 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.

11When Noah was 600 years old, on the seventeenth day of the second month, all the underground waters erupted from the earth, and the rain fell in mighty torrents from the sky.

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

12The rain continued to fall for forty days and forty nights.

13On 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—

13That very day Noah had gone into the boat with his wife and his sons—Shem, Ham, and Japheth—and their wives.

14they 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.

14With them in the boat were pairs of every kind of animal—domestic and wild, large and small—along with birds of every kind.

15And they went into the ark to Noah, two by two, of all flesh in which is the breath of life.

15Two by two they came into the boat, representing every living thing that breathes.

16So those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded him; and the LORD shut him in.

16A male and female of each kind entered, just as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD closed the door behind them.

17Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it rose high above the earth.

17For forty days the floodwaters grew deeper, covering the ground and lifting the boat high above the earth.

18The waters prevailed and greatly increased on the earth, and the ark moved about on the surface of the waters.

18As the waters rose higher and higher above the ground, the boat floated safely on the surface.

19And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth, and all the high hills under the whole heaven were covered.

19Finally, the water covered even the highest mountains on the earth,

20The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered.

20rising more than twenty-two feet above the highest peaks.

21And 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.

21All the living things on earth died—birds, domestic animals, wild animals, small animals that scurry along the ground, and all the people.

22All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, all that was on the dry land, died.

22Everything that breathed and lived on dry land died.

23So 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.

23God wiped out every living thing on the earth—people, livestock, small animals that scurry along the ground, and the birds of the sky. All were destroyed. The only people who survived were Noah and those with him in the boat.

24And the waters prevailed on the earth one hundred and fifty days.

24And the floodwaters covered the earth for 150 days.
