1And the Lord God said to Noe, Enter thou and all thy family into the ark, for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
1Yahweh said to Noah, “Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation.
2And of the clean cattle take in to thee sevens, male and female, and of the unclean cattle pairs male and female.
2You shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his female.
3And of clean flying creatures of the sky sevens, male and female, and of all unclean flying creatures pairs, male and female, to maintain seed on all the earth.
3Also of the birds of the sky, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive on the surface of all the earth.
4For yet seven days [having passed] I bring rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will blot out every offspring which I have made from the face of all the earth.
4In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. I will destroy every living thing that I have made from the surface of the ground.”
5And Noe [did] all things whatever the Lord God commanded him.

10After the seven days, the floodwaters came on the earth.
11In the six hundredth year of the life of Noe, in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, on this day all the fountains of the abyss were broken up, and the flood-gates of heaven were opened.
11In 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 open, and the sky’s windows opened.
12And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
12It rained on the earth forty days and forty nights.
13On that very day entered Noe, Sem, Cham, Japheth, the sons of Noe, and the wife of Noe, and the three wives of his sons with him into the ark.
13In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth—the sons of Noah—and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship—
14And all the wild beasts after their kind, and all cattle after their kind, and every reptile moving itself on the earth after its kind, and every flying bird after its kind,
14they, and every animal after its kind, all the livestock after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.

18And the water prevailed and abounded exceedingly upon the earth, and the ark was borne upon the water.
18The waters rose, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters.
19And the water prevailed exceedingly upon the earth, and covered all the high mountains which were under heaven.
19The waters rose very high on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered.

24The waters flooded the earth one hundred fifty days.
1And God remembered Noe, and all the wild beasts, and all the cattle, and all the birds, and all the reptiles that creep, as many as were with him in the ark, and God brought a wind upon the earth, and the water stayed.

3And the water subsided, and went off the earth, and after an hundred and fifty days the water was diminished, and the ark rested in the seventh month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
3The waters continually receded from the earth. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters receded.
4And the water continued to decrease until the tenth month.

7and he sent out a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.
8And he sent a dove after it to see if the water had ceased from off the earth.
8He himself sent out a dove to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground,
9And the dove not having found rest for her feet, returned to him into the ark, because the water was on all the face of the earth, and he stretched out his handand took her, and brought her to himself into the ark.
9but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned into the ship to him, for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put out his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.
10And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove from the ark.
10He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship.
11And the dove returned to him in the evening, and had a leaf of olive, a sprig in her mouth; and Noe knew that the water had ceased from off the earth.
11The dove came back to him at evening and, behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from the earth.
12And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove, and she did not return to him again any more.
12He waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to him any more.

15God spoke to Noah, saying,
16Come out from the ark, thou and thy wife and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
16“Go out of the ship, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.
17And all the wild beasts as many as are with thee, and all flesh both of birds and beasts, and every reptile moving upon the earth, bring forth with thee: and increase ye and multiply upon the earth.
17Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, including birds, livestock, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth.”
18And Noe came forth, and his wife and his sons, and his sons' wives with him.
18Noah went out, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives with him.
19And all the wild beasts and all the cattle and every bird, and every reptile creeping upon the earthafter their kind, came forth out of the ark.
19Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.
20And Noe built an altar to the Lord, and took of all clean beasts, and of all clean birds, and offered a whole burnt-offering upon the altar.
20Noah built an altar to Yahweh, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21And the Lord God smelled a smell of sweetness, and the Lord God having considered, said , I will not any more curse the earth, because of the works of men, because the imagination of manis intently bent upon evil things from his youth, I will not therefore any more smite all living flesh as I have done.
21Yahweh smelled the pleasant aroma. Yahweh said in his heart, “I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake because the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth. I will never again strike every living thing, as I have done.
22All the days of the earth , seed and harvest, cold and heat, summer and spring, shall not cease by day or night .
22While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”
