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.

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.

Reina Valera Actualizada
7 Entonces el SEÑOR dijo a Noé: “Entra en el arca tú, y toda tu familia, porque he visto que tú eres justo delante de mí en esta generación. 2 De todo animal limpio toma contigo siete parejas, el macho y su hembra; pero de los animales que no son limpios solo una pareja, el macho y su hembra. 3 De las aves del cielo toma también siete parejas, macho y hembra, para preservar la especie sobre la faz de la tierra. 4 Porque después de siete días yo haré llover sobre la tierra durante cuarenta días y cuarenta noches, y arrasaré de la faz de la tierra todo ser viviente que he hecho”.
5 Y Noé hizo conforme a todo lo que el SEÑOR le mandó.
El diluvio
6 Noé tenía seiscientos años cuando vino el diluvio de aguas sobre la tierra. 7 Noé entró en el arca, y con él sus hijos, su mujer y las mujeres de sus hijos, por causa de las aguas del diluvio.
8 De los animales limpios y de los animales no limpios, de las aves y de todo lo que se desplaza sobre la tierra, 9 de dos en dos entraron en el arca con Noé, macho y hembra, como Dios había mandado a Noé. 10 Y sucedió que a los siete días vinieron sobre la tierra las aguas del diluvio.
11 El día diecisiete del mes segundo del año seiscientos de la vida de Noé, en este día fueron rotas todas las fuentes del gran océano y fueron abiertas las ventanas de los cielos. 12 Y hubo lluvia sobre la tierra durante cuarenta días y cuarenta noches. 13 En este mismo día entraron en el arca Noé, sus hijos Sem, Cam y Jafet, la mujer de Noé y las tres mujeres de sus hijos con ellos[a]. 14 Entraron ellos y todos los animales según su especie, todos los animales domésticos según su especie, todos los animales que se desplazan sobre la tierra según su especie, todas las aves según su especie, y todo pájaro, todo lo que tiene alas. 15 Y vinieron al arca, a Noé, de dos en dos, de todos los seres que respiran. 16 Vinieron macho y hembra de todo animal, como Dios le había mandado. Y el SEÑOR le cerró la puerta.
17 El diluvio duró cuarenta días sobre la tierra. Las aguas crecieron y levantaron el arca, y se elevó sobre la tierra. 18 Las aguas crecieron y se incrementaron tanto sobre la tierra que el arca flotaba sobre la superficie de las aguas. 19 Las aguas subieron tanto sobre la tierra que las montañas más altas debajo de todos los cielos fueron cubiertas. 20 Las montañas fueron cubiertas y las aguas crecieron nueve metros por encima. 21 Y murió todo ser que se desplaza sobre la tierra, tanto las aves como el ganado, las fieras, los animales que se desplazan sobre la tierra y todos los hombres. 22 Murió todo cuanto tenía aliento de vida en sus narices, todo lo que había en la tierra seca. 23 Así fue arrasado de la faz de la tierra todo ser viviente. Fueron arrasados de la tierra desde el hombre hasta el ganado, los reptiles y las aves del cielo. Solo quedaron Noé y los que estaban con él en el arca. 24 Y las aguas prevalecieron sobre la tierra durante ciento cincuenta días.
