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.

De zondvloed
7 De dag brak aan waarop de Here tegen Noach zei: ‘Ga met uw familie aan boord van de ark, want u bent de enige rechtvaardige tussen al die anderen die de aarde bewonen. 2 Neem ook de dieren aan boord, van elke soort één paar, uitgezonderd de dieren die Ik heb bestemd tot voedsel en offer. 3 Van die dieren moet u zeven paar aan boord nemen, evenals van de vogels. Op die manier zullen ze na de grote watervloed hun soort in stand houden. 4 Over een week zal het gaan regenen. Veertig dagen en nachten achter elkaar. Alle levende wezens die Ik heb gemaakt en die op het droge leven, zullen sterven.’
5 Noach volgde al de bevelen van de Here op. 6 Hij was zeshonderd jaar oud toen de vloed over de aarde kwam 7 en hij ging met zijn vrouw, zijn zonen en hun vrouwen in de ark om aan de vloed te ontkomen. 8,9 Alle dieren die bestemd waren om te offeren of om op te eten en de andere soorten, kwamen in paren naar de ark: mannetjes en vrouwtjes, precies zoals God het Noach had gezegd. 10,11 Een week later, toen Noach zeshonderd jaar oud was, op de zeventiende dag van de tweede maand, stroomde de regen uit de hemel neer en braken de ondergrondse watermassaʼs open. 12 En dat gedurende veertig dagen en nachten! 13 Maar Noach was die dag met zijn vrouw, hun zonen Sem, Cham en Jafet en hun vrouwen aan boord van de ark gegaan. 14 Bij hen in de ark zaten alle diersoorten, zowel wilde dieren als vee, kruipende dieren en vogels. 15 Ze kwamen twee aan twee, mannetjes en vrouwtjes, precies zoals God het had bevolen. 16 Toen sloot de Here God de toegang tot de ark.
17 Veertig dagen lang raasde de enorme watervloed over de aarde, bedekte alles en nam de ark hoog op zijn golven mee. 18 Het water steeg en steeg, maar de ark bleef veilig drijven. 19 Ten slotte bedekte het water ook de hoogste bergen. 20 Het stond zeven meter boven de hoogste bergtoppen. 21 En alle levende wezens op aarde verdronken: vogels, vee, wilde en kruipende dieren en alle mensen, 22 alles wat ademde en op het land leefde. 23 God vernietigde alles, uitgezonderd Noach en zijn familie die in de ark waren. 24 De watervloed bedekte de aarde honderdvijftig dagen lang.

24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.
