1. And יהוה said to Noaḥ, “Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation.
2. “Of all the clean beasts take with you seven pairs, a male and his female; and of the beasts that are unclean two, a male and his female;
3. and of birds of the heavens seven pairs, male and female, to keep offspring alive on the face of all the earth.
4. “For after seven more days I am sending rain on the earth, forty days and forty nights, and shall wipe from the face of the earth all that stand that I created.”
5. And Noaḥ did according to all that יהוה commanded him.
6. Now Noaḥ was six hundred years old when the flood-waters were on the earth.
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.
