Genesis 7
English Standard Version
7 Then the Lord said to Noah, (A)“Go into the ark, you and all your household, for I have seen that (B)you are righteous before me in this generation. 2 Take with you seven pairs of all (C)clean animals,[a] the male and his mate, and a pair of the animals that are not clean, the male and his mate, 3 and seven pairs[b] of the birds of the heavens also, male and female, to keep their offspring alive on the face of all the earth. 4 For in seven days (D)I will send rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, (E)and every living thing[c] that I have made I will blot out from the face of the ground.” 5 (F)And Noah did all that the Lord had commanded him.
6 Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came upon the earth. 7 And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him went into the ark to escape the waters of the flood. 8 Of clean animals, and of animals that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that creeps on the ground, 9 two and two, male and female, went into the ark with Noah, as God had commanded Noah. 10 And after seven days the waters of the flood came upon the earth.
11 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 (G)fountains of the great deep burst forth, and (H)the windows of the heavens were opened. 12 And rain fell upon the earth forty days and forty nights. 13 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, 14 they and every beast, according to its kind, and all the livestock 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 winged creature. 15 They (I)went into the ark with Noah, two and two of all flesh in which there was the breath of life. 16 And those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in (J)as God had commanded him. And the Lord shut him in.
17 The flood (K)continued forty days on the earth. The waters increased and bore up the ark, and it rose high above the earth. 18 The waters prevailed and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the face of the waters. 19 And the waters prevailed so mightily on the earth that all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered. 20 The waters prevailed above the mountains, covering them fifteen cubits[d] deep. 21 And (L)all flesh died that moved on the earth, birds, livestock, beasts, all swarming creatures that swarm on the earth, and all mankind. 22 Everything on the dry land (M)in whose nostrils was the breath of life died. 23 He blotted out every living thing that was on the face of the ground, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens. They were blotted out from the earth. Only (N)Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ark. 24 And the waters prevailed on the earth 150 days.

7 The Lord then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family,(A) because I have found you righteous(B) in this generation. 2 Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean(C) animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, 3 and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive(D) throughout the earth. 4 Seven days from now I will send rain(E) on the earth(F) for forty days(G) and forty nights,(H) and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.(I)”
5 And Noah did all that the Lord commanded him.(J)
6 Noah was six hundred years old(K) when the floodwaters came on the earth. 7 And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives entered the ark(L) to escape the waters of the flood. 8 Pairs of clean and unclean(M) animals, of birds and of all creatures that move along the ground, 9 male and female, came to Noah and entered the ark, as God had commanded Noah.(N) 10 And after the seven days(O) the floodwaters came on the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life,(P) on the seventeenth day of the second month(Q)—on that day all the springs of the great deep(R) burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens(S) were opened. 12 And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.(T)
13 On that very day Noah and his sons,(U) Shem, Ham and Japheth, together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark.(V) 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,(W) everything with wings. 15 Pairs of all creatures that have the breath of life in them came to Noah and entered the ark.(X) 16 The animals going in were male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah.(Y) Then the Lord shut him in.
17 For forty days(Z) 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.(AA) 20 The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than fifteen cubits.[a][b] (AB) 21 Every living thing that moved on land perished—birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind.(AC) 22 Everything on dry land that had the breath of life(AD) 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.(AE) Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark.(AF)
24 The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days.(AG)

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.

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.
