Genesis 7
New King James Version
The Great Flood(A)
7 Then the (B)Lord said to Noah, (C)“Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that (D)you are righteous before Me in this generation. 2 You shall take with you seven each of every (E)clean animal, a male and his female; (F)two each of animals that are unclean, a male and his female; 3 also seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep [a]the species alive on the face of all the earth. 4 For after (G)seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth (H)forty days and forty nights, and I will [b]destroy from the face of the earth all living things that I have made.” 5 (I)And Noah did according to all that the Lord commanded him. 6 Noah was (J)six hundred years old when the floodwaters were on the earth.
7 (K)So Noah, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, went into the ark because of the waters of the flood. 8 Of clean animals, of animals that are unclean, of birds, and of everything that creeps on the earth, 9 two by two they went into the ark to Noah, male and female, as God had commanded Noah. 10 And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were on the earth. 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on (L)that day all (M)the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the (N)windows of heaven were opened. 12 (O)And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 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— 14 (P)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 (Q)sort. 15 And they (R)went into the ark to Noah, two by two, of all flesh in which is the breath of life. 16 So those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in (S)as God had commanded him; and the Lord shut him in.
17 (T)Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it rose high above the earth. 18 The waters prevailed and greatly increased on the earth, (U)and the ark moved about on the surface of the waters. 19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth, and all the high hills under the whole heaven were covered. 20 The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered. 21 (V)And all flesh died that moved on [c]the earth: birds and cattle and beasts and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man. 22 All in (W)whose nostrils was the breath [d]of the spirit of life, all that was on the dry land, died. 23 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 (X)Noah and those who were with him in the ark remained alive. 24 (Y)And the waters prevailed on the earth one hundred and fifty days.

Die Sündflut
7 Und der Herr sprach zu Noah: Geh in die Arche, du und dein ganzes Haus! Denn dich habe ich gerecht ersehen unter diesem Geschlecht. 2 Nimm von allem reinen Vieh zu dir je sieben und sieben, das Männchen und sein Weibchen; von dem unreinen Vieh aber je ein Paar, das Männchen und sein Weibchen; 3 auch von den Vögeln des Himmels je sieben und sieben, Männchen und Weibchen, um auf dem ganzen Erdboden Samen am Leben zu erhalten. 4 Denn es sind nur noch sieben Tage, so will ich auf Erden regnen lassen vierzig Tage lang und alles Bestehende von dem Erdboden vertilgen.
5 Und Noah machte alles, wie ihm der Herr gebot.
6 Und Noah war sechshundert Jahre alt, als die Wasser der Sündflut auf die Erde kamen. 7 Er ging aber samt seinen Söhnen, seiner Frau und seiner Söhne Frauen in die Arche vor dem Gewässer der Sündflut. 8 Von dem reinen Vieh und von dem Vieh, das nicht rein[a] war, und von den Vögeln und von allem, was auf der Erde kriecht, 9 gingen paarweise in die Arche, Männchen und Weibchen, wie Gott dem Noah geboten hatte. 10 Und es begab sich nach den sieben Tagen, daß die Wasser der Sündflut auf die Erde kamen.
11 Im sechshundertsten Lebensjahre Noahs, am siebzehnten Tag des zweiten Monats, an dem Tag brachen alle Quellen der großen Tiefe auf, und die Fenster des Himmels öffneten sich. 12 Und es regnete auf die Erde vierzig Tage und vierzig Nächte lang. 13 An ebendemselben Tag war Noah in die Arche gegangen mit Sem, Ham und Japhet, seinen Söhnen, und seiner Frau und den drei Frauen seiner Söhne; 14 sie und alle Arten der Tiere und des Viehs und aller Art Kriechendes, was auf Erden kriecht, von jeglicher Art, auch aller Art Geflügel, Vögel und Federvieh; 15 die kamen zu Noah in die Arche, je zwei und zwei, von allem Fleisch, das lebendigen Odem in sich hatte. 16 Und die hineingingen, Männchen und Weibchen von allem Fleisch, kamen herbei, wie Gott ihm geboten hatte; und der Herr schloß hinter ihm zu.
17 Da sich aber die Sündflut vierzig Tage auf die Erde ergoß, wuchsen die Wasser und hoben die Arche, daß sie über der Erde schwebte. 18 Und die Wasser wurden so groß und nahmen so sehr zu, daß die Arche auf dem Wasserspiegel dahinfuhr. 19 Ja, das Gewässer nahm so sehr überhand, daß alle hohen Berge unter dem ganzen Himmel bedeckt wurden; 20 fünfzehn Ellen höher stieg das Wasser, nachdem die Berge schon zugedeckt waren.
21 Da ging alles Fleisch zugrunde, das auf Erden sich bewegte, Vögel, Vieh und wilde Tiere und alles, was sich auf Erden regte, samt allen Menschen; 22 und es starb alles, was auf dem trockenen Land einen lebendigen Odem in der Nase hatte. 23 So wurden alle Lebewesen vertilgt auf dem Erdboden, vom Menschen an bis auf das Vieh, bis auf das Kriechende und bis auf die Vögel des Himmels; es wurde alles von der Erde vertilgt; nur Noah blieb übrig und was mit ihm in der Arche war. 24 Und das Wasser blieb hoch über der Erde, hundertundfünfzig Tage lang.

Genesis 7
King James Version
7 And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
5 And Noah 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 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that 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, 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 selfsame day entered Noah, and 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 the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in.
17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.
18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
