10It happened after the seven days, that the waters of the flood came on the earth.
11In the six hundredth year of Noah`s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep were burst open, and the sky`s windows were opened.
12The rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.
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 ark;
14they, and every animal after its kind, all the cattle 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.
15They went to Noah into the ark, by pairs of all flesh with the breath of life in them.
16Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; and Yahweh shut him in.
