Genesis 7
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
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.

神命挪亞進方舟
7 耶和華對挪亞說：“你和你全家都要進入方舟，因為在這世代中，我見只有你在我面前是個義人。 2 潔淨的牲畜，你要各帶七公七母；不潔淨的牲畜，你要各帶一公一母； 3 空中的飛鳥，也要各帶七公七母，以便傳種，活在全地上； 4 因為再過七天，我就要一連四十晝夜降雨在地上，我把所造的一切生物都從地上除滅。” 5 挪亞就照著耶和華吩咐他的一切作了。
6 洪水臨到地上的時候，挪亞剛好是六百歲。 7 挪亞帶著他的兒子、妻子和兒媳一同進了方舟，躲避洪水。 8 潔淨的牲畜和不潔淨的牲畜，飛鳥和各種在地上爬行的動物， 9 都是一公一母、一對一對來到挪亞那裡，進入方舟，是照著 神吩咐挪亞的。 10 那七天一過，洪水就臨到地上了。 11 挪亞六百歲那一年，二月十七日那一天，所有大淵的泉源都裂開了，天上的窗戶都敞開了。 12 大雨傾盆下在地上，一連四十晝夜。
13 就在那一天，挪亞帶著他的兒子閃、含、雅弗，以及他的妻子和三個兒媳，一同進了方舟。 14 他們一家，所有走獸各從其類，所有牲畜各從其類，所有在地上爬行的動物各從其類，所有有羽有翼的飛禽各從其類， 15 有生命、有氣息的，都是一對一對來到挪亞那裡，進入方舟。 16 那些進去的，都是有生命的，一公一母進去，是照著 神吩咐挪亞的。耶和華跟著就把方舟關起來。
洪水氾濫淹沒世界
17 洪水就臨到地上四十天；水不斷上漲，把方舟升起，於是方舟就從地上浮起來。 18 水勢甚大，在地上大大上漲，方舟就在水面上漂來漂去。 19 水勢在地面上越來越大，天下所有的高山都被淹沒了。 20 水勢浩大，比眾山高出七公尺，山嶺都被淹沒了。 21 凡有生命仍在地上行動的，無論是飛鳥或是牲畜，走獸或是在地上滋生的各樣小生物，以及所有的人都死了； 22 仍在陸地上，鼻孔裡有氣息的生靈都死了。 23 耶和華把地上的所有生物，從人類到牲畜，爬行的動物，以及空中的飛鳥都除滅了；於是，這一切都從地上消滅了。只留下挪亞和那些與挪亞一同在方舟裡的。 24 水勢浩大，在地上共一百五十天。
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.
