7. And Noaḥ and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives went into the ark because of the waters of the flood.
8. Of the clean beasts and of the beasts that are unclean, and of birds, and of all that creep on the earth,
9. two by two they went into the ark to Noaḥ, male and female, as Elohim had commanded Noaḥ.
10. And it came to be after seven days that the waters of the flood were on the earth.
11. In the six hundredth year of Noaḥ’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of the heavens were opened.
12. And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.
13. On that same day Noaḥ and Shĕm and Ḥam and Yepheth, the sons of Noaḥ, and Noaḥ’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, went into the ark,
14. they and every living creature after its kind, and every beast after its kind, and every creeping creature that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.
15. And they went into the ark to Noaḥ, two by two, of all flesh in which is the breath of life.
16. And those going in, male and female of all flesh, went in as Elohim had commanded him, and יהוה shut him in.
17. And the flood was on the earth forty days, and the waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it rose high above the earth.
18. And the waters were mighty and greatly increased on the earth, and the ark moved about on the surface of the waters.
19. And the waters were exceedingly mighty on the earth, and all the high mountains under all the heavens were covered.
