And Noach was shesh me’ot shanah when the mabbul waters were upon ha’aretz.

And Noach entered in, and his banim, and his isha, and nashim of his banim with him, into the tevah (ark), because of the waters of the mabbul.

Of behemah hatehorah, and of behemah that are not tehorah, and of haoph, and of every thing that creepeth upon ha’adamah,

There went in shnayim shnayim unto Noach into the tevah (ark), the zachar and the nekevah, as Elohim had commanded Noach.

10 And it came to pass after shivat hayamim, that the waters of the mabbul were upon ha’aretz.

11 In the six hundredth year of Noach’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the floodgates of Shomayim were opened.

12 And the geshem was upon ha’aretz arba’im yom and arba’im lailah.

13 On that very yom entered Noach, and Shem, and Cham, and Yephet, the bnei Noach, and Noach’s isha, and the three nashim of his banim with them, into the tevah (ark);

14 They, and every beast after its kind, and kol habehemah after their kind, and every remes that crawls upon ha’aretz after its kind, and kol haoph after its kind, every bird of every sort.

15 And they went in unto Noach into the tevah (ark), shnayim shnayim of kol habasar, wherein is the ruach chayyim.

16 And they that went in, went in zachar and nekevah of kol basar, as Elohim had commanded him; then Hashem shut him in.

17 And the mabbul was arba’im yom upon ha’aretz; and the waters increased, and lifted up the tevah (ark), and it rose above ha’aretz.

18 And the waters rose, and were increased greatly upon ha’aretz; and the tevah (ark) floated upon the face of the waters.

19 And the waters rose exceedingly upon ha’aretz; and all the high hills, that were under kol HaShomayim, were covered.

20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters rise; and the harim were covered.

21 And kol basar perished that moved upon ha’aretz, both of Oph, and of Behemah, and of Beast, and of every Swarming Thing that swarms upon ha’aretz, and kol haadam;

22 All in whose nostrils was the ruach chayyim, of all that was in the dry land, perished.

23 And every living creature was wiped out which was upon the p’nei haadamah, both Adam, and Behemah, and the Remes, and the Oph HaShomayim; and they were wiped out from ha’aretz: and Noach only remained alive, and they that were with him in the tevah (ark).

24 And the waters flooded upon ha’aretz a hundred and fifty days.

Noah was six hundred years old(A) when the floodwaters came on the earth. And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives entered the ark(B) to escape the waters of the flood. Pairs of clean and unclean(C) animals, of birds and of all creatures that move along the ground, male and female, came to Noah and entered the ark, as God had commanded Noah.(D) 10 And after the seven days(E) the floodwaters came on the earth.

11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life,(F) on the seventeenth day of the second month(G)—on that day all the springs of the great deep(H) burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens(I) were opened. 12 And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.(J)

13 On that very day Noah and his sons,(K) Shem, Ham and Japheth, together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark.(L) 14 They 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,(M) everything with wings. 15 Pairs of all creatures that have the breath of life in them came to Noah and entered the ark.(N) 16 The animals going in were male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah.(O) Then the Lord shut him in.

17 For forty days(P) the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the earth. 18 The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water. 19 They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered.(Q) 20 The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than fifteen cubits.[a][b] (R) 21 Every living thing that moved on land perished—birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind.(S) 22 Everything on dry land that had the breath of life(T) in its nostrils died. 23 Every 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.(U) Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark.(V)

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