10. Seven days later the flood came.
11. When Noah was 600 years old, on the seventeenth day of the second month all the outlets of the vast body of water beneath the earth burst open, all the floodgates of the sky were opened,
12. and rain fell on the earth for forty days and nights.
13. On that same day Noah and his wife went into the boat with their three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and their wives.
14. With them went every kind of animal, domestic and wild, large and small, and every kind of bird.
15. A male and a female of each kind of living being went into the boat with Noah,
16. as God had commanded. Then the Lord shut the door behind Noah.
