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.

7 І сказав Господь Ноєві: Увійди ти й увесь дім твій до ковчегу, бо Я бачив тебе праведним перед лицем Своїм в оцім роді.
2 Із усякої чистої худоби візьмеш собі по семеро, самця та самицю її, а з худоби нечистої двоє: самця та самицю її.
3 Також із птаства небесного по семеро, самця та самицю, щоб насіння сховати живим на поверхні всієї землі.
4 Ось бо по семи днях Я литиму на землю дощ сорок день і сорок ночей, і всяку істоту, яку Я вчинив, зітру з-над поверхні землі!
5 І зробив Ной усе, як звелів був Господь.
6 А Ной був віку шостисот літ, і стався потоп, вода на землі.
7 І ввійшов Ной, і сини його, і жінка його, і невістки його з ним до ковчегу перед водою потопу.
8 Із чистої худоби та з худоби, що нечиста вона, і з птаства, і всього, що плазує на землі,
9 по двоє ввійшли до Ноя до ковчегу, самець і самиця, як Бог Ноєві був ізвелів.
10 І сталося по семи днях, і води потопу линули на землю.
11 Року шостої сотні літ життя Ноєвого, місяця другого, сімнадцятого дня місяця, цього дня відкрилися всі джерела великої безодні, і розчинилися небесні розтвори.
12 І був дощ на землі сорок день і сорок ночей.
13 Того саме дня до ковчегу ввійшов Ной, і Сим, і Хам та Яфет, сини Ноєві, і жінка Ноєва, і три невістки його з ними,
14 вони та всяка звірина за родом її, і всяка худоба за родом її, і всяке плазуюче, що плазує по землі, за родом його, і всяке птаство за родом його, усяка пташка крилата.
15 І ввійшли до Ноя, до ковчегу по двоє із кожного тіла, що в нім дух життя.
16 А те, що ввійшло, самець і самиця з кожного тіла ввійшли, як звелів йому Бог. І замкнув Господь за ним ковчега.
17 І був потоп сорок день на землі, і збільшилась вода, і понесла ковчега. І він високо став над землею.
18 І прибула вода, і сильно збільшилась вона на землі, і пливав ковчег на поверхні води.
19 І дуже-дуже вода на землі прибула, і покрились усі гори високі, що під небом усім.
20 На п'ятнадцять ліктів угору вода прибула, і покрилися гори.
21 І вимерло всяке тіло, що рухається на землі: серед птаства, і серед скотини, і серед звірини, і серед усіх плазунів, що плазують по землі, і кожна людина.
22 Усе, що в ніздрях його дух життя, з усього, що на суходолі вимерло було.
23 І винищив Бог усяку істоту на поверхні землі, від людини аж до скотини, аж до плазуна, і аж до птаства небесного, вони стерлись з землі. І зостався тільки Ной та те, що з ним у ковчезі було.
24 І прибувала вода на землі сто і п'ятдесят день.

Entering the Ark
7 Then the Lord said to Noah, ‘Enter the ark, you and all your household, for I have seen that you alone are righteous before me in this generation.(A) 2 You are to take with you seven pairs, a male and its female, of all the clean animals,(B) and two of the animals that are not clean, a male and its female, 3 and seven pairs, male and female, of the birds of the sky – in order to keep offspring alive throughout the earth. 4 Seven days from now I will make it rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and every living thing I have made I will wipe off the face of the earth.’ 5 And Noah did everything that the Lord commanded him.(C)
6 Noah was six hundred years old when the flood came and water covered the earth. 7 So Noah, his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives entered the ark because of the floodwaters. 8 From the animals that are clean, and from the animals that are not clean, and from the birds and every creature that crawls on the ground, 9 two of each, male and female, came to Noah and entered the ark, just as God had commanded him. 10 Seven days later the floodwaters came on the earth.
The Flood
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 sources of the vast watery depths burst open,(D) the floodgates of the sky were opened,(E) 12 and the rain fell on the earth for forty days and forty nights. 13 On that same day Noah and his three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, entered the ark, along with Noah’s wife and his three sons’ wives. 14 They entered it with all the wildlife according to their kinds, all livestock according to their kinds, all the creatures that crawl on the earth according to their kinds, every flying creature – all the birds and every winged creature – according to their kinds. 15 Two of every creature that has the breath of life in it came to Noah and entered the ark. 16 Those that entered, male and female of every creature, entered just as God had commanded him. Then the Lord shut him in.
17 The flood continued for forty days on the earth; the water increased and lifted up the ark so that it rose above the earth. 18 The water surged and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water. 19 Then the water surged even higher on the earth, and all the high mountains under the whole sky were covered. 20 The mountains were covered as the water surged above them more than seven metres.[a] 21 Every creature perished – those that crawl on the earth, birds, livestock, wildlife, and those that swarm on the earth, as well as all mankind. 22 Everything with the breath of the spirit of life in its nostrils(F) – everything on dry land died. 23 He wiped out every living thing that was on the face of the earth, from mankind to livestock, to creatures that crawl, to the birds of the sky, and they were wiped off the earth. Only Noah was left, and those that were with him in the ark.(G) 24 And the water surged on the earth for 150 days.
