Genesis 7

¹And the Lord said vnto Noah, Enter thou and all thine house into the Arke: for thee haue I seene righteous before me in this age.

²Of euery cleane beast thou shalt take to thee by seuens, the male and his female: but of vncleane beastes by couples, the male and his female.

³Of the foules also of the heauen by seuens, male and female, to keepe seede aliue vpon the whole earth.

⁴For seuen dayes hence I will cause it raine vpon the earth fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes, and all the substance that I haue made, will I destroy from off the earth.

⁵Noah therefore did according vnto all that the Lord commanded him.

⁶And Noah was sixe hundreth yeeres olde, when the flood of waters was vpon the earth.

⁷So Noah entred and his sonnes, and his wife, and his sonnes wiues with him into the Arke, because of the waters of the flood.

⁸Of the cleane beastes, and of the vncleane beastes, and of the foules, and of all that creepeth vpon the earth,

⁹There came two and two vnto Noah into the Arke, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.

¹⁰And so after seuen dayes the waters of the flood were vpon the earth.

¹¹In the sixe hundreth yeere of Noahs life in the second moneth, the seuetenth day of the moneth, in the same day were all the fountaines of the great deepe broken vp, and the windowes of heauen were opened,

¹²And the raine was vpon the earth fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes.
