6And Noe was six hundred years, and the flood of water came on the earth. 7And Noe entered and the sons of him and the woman of him and the women of the sons of him with him into the ark on account of the water of the flood. 8And from the birds and from the clean cattle and from the cattle not clean and from all of the things creeping on the earth 9two two entered with Noe into the ark, male and female, as God commanded to him. 10And it happened after seven days and the water of the flood came on the earth. 11In the six hundredth year in the life of Noe, of the second month, twenty-seventh of the month, on this day all the springs of the abyss bursted, and the windows of the heaven were opened. 12And the rain came on the earth forty days and forty nights. 13In this day Noe entered, Sem, Cham, Iapheth, sons of Noe, and the woman of Noe and the three women of the sons of him with him into the ark. 14And all the beasts according to genus and all the cattle according to genus and every reptile moving on the earth according to genus and every bird according to genus 15entered with Noe into the ark, two two from all flesh, in which there is spirit of life. 16And all the things entering male and female from all flesh entered, as God commanded to Noe. And the Lord God closed the ark from outside of it. 17And the flood came forty days and forty nights on the earth, and the water increased and took up the ark, and it rose high from the earth. 18And the water prevailed and it was being exceedingly increased on the earth, and the ark was being brought above the water. 19And the water prevailed exceedingly much on the earth and it covered all the high mountains, which were under the heaven; 20the water rose high above fifteen cubits and covered all the high mountains. 21And all flesh moving on the earth died the birds and the cattle and the beasts and every reptile moving on the earth and every man. 22And all, whatsoever has breath of life, and everyone, who was on the dry, died. 23And He blotted out all the things living, which was on the face of the whole earth, from man until cattle and reptiles and the birds of the heaven, and they were blotted out from the earth; and only Noe and the men with him in the ark were left. 24And the water rose high on the earth hundred fifty days. (Genesis 7:6-24) 1And God remembered Noe and all the beasts and all the cattle and all the birds and all the reptiles, whatsoever was with him in the ark, and God led up wind on the earth, and the water stopped, 2and the springs of the abyss and the windows of the heaven were covered, and the rain from the heaven was restrained. 3And the water was giving in going from the earth, the water was giving in and lessening after hundred and fifty days. 4And the ark sat in the seventh month,twenty-seventh of the month, on the Ararat mountains. 5And the water going was lessening until the tenth month; and in the eleventh month, on the first of the month, the heads of the mountains were seen. (Genesis 8:1-6)
