Genesis 7 BSB
The Great Flood
1 Then the LORD said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and all your family, because I have found you righteous in this generation. See the Hebrew order
2 You are to take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate; a pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate; See the Hebrew order
3 and seven pairs of every kind of bird of the air, male and female, to preserve their offspring on the face of all the earth. See the Hebrew order
4 For seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living thing I have made.” See the Hebrew order
5 And Noah did all that the LORD had commanded him. See the Hebrew order
6 Now Noah was 600 years old when the floodwaters came upon the earth. See the Hebrew order
7 And Noah and his wife, with his sons and their wives, entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood. See the Hebrew order
8 The clean and unclean animals, the birds, and everything that crawls along the ground See the Hebrew order
9 came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two, male and female, as God had commanded Noah. See the Hebrew order
10 And after seven days the floodwaters came upon the earth. See the Hebrew order
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month, all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. See the Hebrew order
12 And the rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights. See the Hebrew order
13 On that very day Noah entered the ark, along with his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and his wife, and the three wives of his sons— See the Hebrew order
14 they and every kind of wild animal, livestock, crawling creature, bird, and winged creature. See the Hebrew order
15 They came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two of every creature with the breath of life. See the Hebrew order
16 And they entered, the male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD shut him in. See the Hebrew order
17 For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and the waters rose and lifted the ark high above the earth. See the Hebrew order
18 So the waters continued to surge and rise greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the waters. See the Hebrew order
19 Finally, the waters completely prevailed upon the earth, so that all the high mountains under all the heavens were covered. See the Hebrew order
20 The waters rose and covered the mountaintops to a depth of fifteen cubits. See the Hebrew order
21 And every living thing that moved upon the earth perished—birds, livestock, animals, every creature that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind. See the Hebrew order
22 Of all that was on dry land, everything that had the breath of life in its nostrils died. See the Hebrew order
23 And every living thing on the face of the earth was destroyed—man and livestock, crawling creatures and birds of the air; they were blotted out from the earth, and only Noah and those with him in the ark remained. See the Hebrew order
24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth for 150 days. See the Hebrew order
