Genesis 7:6-24

[6] And Noah  was six  hundred  years  old  when the flood  of waters  was upon the earth.  [7] And Noah  went in,  and his sons,  and his wife,  and his sons'  wives  with him, into the ark,  because of  the waters  of the flood.  [8] Of clean  beasts,  that are not clean,  and of fowls,  and of every thing that creepeth  upon the earth,  [9] There went in  two  unto Noah  into the ark,  the male  and the female,  as  God  had commanded  Noah.  [10] And it came to pass after seven  days,  that the waters  of the flood  were upon the earth.  [11] In  the six  hundredth  year  of Noah's  life,  in the second  month,  the seventeenth  day  of the month,  the same  day  were all the fountains  of the great  deep  broken up,  and the windows  of heaven  were opened.  [12] And the rain  was upon the earth  forty  days  and forty  nights.  [13] In the selfsame  day  entered  Noah,  and Shem,  and Ham,  and Japheth,  the sons  of Noah,  wife,  and the three  wives  of his sons  with them, into the ark;  [14] They,  and every beast  after his kind,  and all the cattle  after their kind,  and every creeping thing  that creepeth  upon the earth  after his kind,  and every fowl  after his kind,  every bird  of every sort.  [15] And they went in  unto Noah  into the ark,  two  of all flesh,  wherein  is the breath  of life.  [16] And they that went in,  male  and female  of all flesh,  as God  had commanded  him: and the LORD  shut him in.  [17] And the flood  was forty  days  upon the earth;  and the waters  increased,  and bare up  the ark,  and it was lift up  above the earth.  [18] And the waters  prevailed,  and were increased  greatly  upon the earth;  and the ark  upon the face  of the waters.  [19] And the waters  prevailed  exceedingly  upon the earth;  and all the high  hills,  that were under  the whole heaven,  were covered.  [20] Fifteen  cubits  upward  did the waters  prevail;  and the mountains  were covered.  [21] And all flesh  died  that moved  upon the earth,  both of fowl,  and of cattle,  and of beast,  and of every creeping thing  that creepeth  upon the earth,  and every man:  [22] All in whose nostrils  was the breath  of life,  of all that was in the dry  land, died.  [23] And every living substance  was destroyed  which was upon the face  of the ground,  both man,  and cattle,  and the creeping things,  and the fowl  of the heaven;  and they were destroyed  from the earth:  and Noah  only  remained  alive, and they that  were with him in the ark.  [24] And the waters  prevailed  upon the earth  an hundred  and fifty  days.
