Genesis 7 — FBV
7Verse 1The Lord told Noah, “Go into the ark with all your family. I have seen how you are a man of integrity, living a moral life among the people of this generation.Verse 2Take with you seven pairs, male and female, of every kind of clean animal, and one pair, male and female, of every kind of unclean animal.Verse 3In addition take seven pairs, male and female, of all the birds, so their different kinds will survive throughout the earth.Verse 4In seven days I'm going to make it rain for forty days and nights. I'm going to wipe out from the surface of the earth all the living creatures I made.”Verse 5Noah did exactly what the Lord ordered him to do.Verse 6Noah was 600 when the flood waters covered the earth.Verse 7Noah went into the ark, taking with him his wife and his sons and their wives, because of the flood.Verse 8Clean and unclean animals, birds, and creatures that run along the ground,Verse 9went into the ark with Noah. They came in pairs, male and female, just as God had told Noah.Verse 10After seven days the floodwaters swept over the earth.Verse 11Noah was 600 when on the seventeenth day of the second month all the subterranean waters burst through the earth, and heavy rain poured down from the sky.Verse 12Rain continued to fall on the earth for forty days and nights.Verse 13That was the actual day+when Noah, his wife, and their sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth together with their three wives went into the ark.Verse 14They had with them every kind of wild animals, livestock, creatures that run along the ground, and birds—everything with wings.Verse 15They all came into the ark with Noah in pairs—every living thing that breathes.Verse 16A male and a female of every creature entered, as God had told Noah. Then the Lord shut the door behind him.Verse 17The flood increased for forty days, lifting the ark so that it floated up from the earth.Verse 18The floodwaters surged and grew deeper and deeper over the earth, but the ark floated along on the surface.Verse 19Finally the water grew so deep that even the highest mountains were covered—all that could be seen was sky.Verse 20The water rose so much that it was higher than the mountains by fifteen cubits.Verse 21Everything living on earth died—the birds, livestock, wild animals, all creatures that run along the ground, and all the people.Verse 22Everything on land that breathed, died.Verse 23The Lord wiped out all life on earth—people, livestock, creatures that run along the ground, and birds. All were killed. The only ones left were Noah and those with him on the ark.Verse 24The earth remained flooded for 150 days.
