Genesis 7
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
The Great Flood
7 Then the Lord said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and all your household, for I have seen that you alone are righteous before me in this generation.(A) 2 Take with you seven pairs of all clean animals, the male and its mate; and a pair of the animals that are not clean, the male and its mate;(B) 3 and seven pairs of the birds of the air also, male and female, to keep their kind alive on the face of all the earth. 4 For in seven days I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and every living thing that I have made I will blot out from the face of the ground.” 5 And Noah did all that the Lord had commanded him.
6 Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came on the earth. 7 And Noah with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives went into the ark to escape the waters of the flood.(C) 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 on 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 fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were opened.(D) 12 The rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.(E) 13 On the very same day Noah with his sons, Shem and Ham and Japheth, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons entered the ark,(F) 14 they and every wild animal of every kind and all domestic animals of every kind and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth and every bird of every kind.[a] 15 They went into the ark with Noah, two and two of all flesh in which there was the breath of life.(G) 16 And those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded him, and the Lord shut him in.(H)
17 The flood continued forty days on the earth, and the waters increased and bore up the ark, and it rose high above the earth.(I) 18 The waters swelled and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the face of the waters.(J) 19 The waters swelled so mightily on the earth that all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered; 20 the waters swelled above the mountains, covering them fifteen cubits deep. 21 And all flesh died that moved on the earth, birds, domestic animals, wild animals, all swarming creatures that swarm on the earth, and all human beings;(K) 22 everything on dry land in whose nostrils was the breath of life died.(L) 23 He blotted out every living thing that was on the face of the ground, human beings and animals and creeping things and birds of the air; they were blotted out from the earth. Only Noah was left and those with him in the ark.(M) 24 And the waters swelled on the earth for one hundred fifty days.(N)

New International Version
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)

Noé entra en el arca
7 Entonces el Señor dijo a Noé: Entra en el arca tú y todos los de tu casa[a]; porque he visto que solo tú eres justo(A) delante de mí en esta generación. 2 De todo animal limpio tomarás contigo[b] siete parejas[c], el macho y su hembra; y de todo animal que no es limpio, dos, el macho y su hembra(B); 3 también de las aves del cielo, siete parejas[d], macho y hembra, para conservar viva la especie[e] sobre la faz de toda la tierra. 4 Porque dentro de siete días haré llover sobre la tierra(C) cuarenta días y cuarenta noches(D), y borraré de la faz de la tierra a todo ser viviente[f] que he creado[g](E). 5 Y Noé hizo conforme a todo lo que el Señor le había mandado(F).
El diluvio
6 Noé tenía seiscientos años(G) cuando el diluvio de las aguas vino[h] sobre la tierra. 7 Entonces entró Noé en el arca(H), y con él sus hijos, su mujer y las mujeres de sus hijos, a causa de las aguas del diluvio. 8 De los animales limpios y de los animales que no son limpios, de las aves y de todo lo que se arrastra sobre la tierra(I), 9 de dos en dos entraron con[i] Noé en el arca, macho y hembra, como Dios había ordenado a Noé. 10 Y aconteció que a los siete días las aguas del diluvio(J) vinieron[j] sobre la tierra. 11 El año seiscientos de la vida de Noé(K), el mes segundo, a los diecisiete días del mes, en ese mismo día se rompieron todas las fuentes del gran abismo, y las compuertas[k] del cielo fueron abiertas(L). 12 Y cayó[l] la lluvia sobre la tierra por cuarenta días y cuarenta noches(M).
13 En ese mismo día entró Noé en el arca, con Sem, Cam y Jafet, hijos de Noé, y la mujer de Noé y las tres mujeres de sus hijos con ellos(N), 14 y toda[m] fiera según su especie, y todo ganado según su especie, y todo reptil que se arrastra sobre la tierra según su especie, y toda ave según su especie, toda clase de aves[n]. 15 Entraron, pues, con[o] Noé en el arca de dos en dos de toda carne(O) en que había aliento de vida. 16 Y los que entraron, macho y hembra de toda carne, entraron como Dios le había mandado; y el Señor cerró la puerta detrás de Noé[p]. 17 Entonces vino[q] el diluvio sobre la tierra por cuarenta días(P), y las aguas crecieron y alzaron el arca, y esta se elevó sobre la tierra. 18 Y las aguas aumentaron y crecieron mucho sobre la tierra; y el arca flotaba[r] sobre la superficie[s] de las aguas. 19 Y las aguas aumentaron más y más sobre la tierra, y fueron cubiertos todos los altos montes que hay debajo de todos los cielos. 20 Quince codos[t] por encima subieron las aguas después que[u] los montes(Q) habían sido cubiertos. 21 Y pereció toda carne que se mueve sobre la tierra: aves, ganados, bestias, y todo lo que pulula sobre la tierra, y todo ser humano(R); 22 todo aquello en cuya nariz había aliento de espíritu de vida(S), todo lo que había sobre la tierra firme, murió. 23 Exterminó, pues, el Señor todo ser viviente[v] que había sobre la faz de la tierra; desde el hombre hasta los ganados, los reptiles y las aves del cielo, fueron exterminados de la tierra; solo quedó Noé y los que estaban con él en el arca(T). 24 Y prevalecieron las aguas sobre la tierra ciento cincuenta días(U).
