7. And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him went into the ark because of the waters of the flood. [Matt. 24:38; Luke 17:27.]
8. Of clean animals and of animals that are not clean, and of birds and fowls, and of everything that creeps on the ground,
9. There went in two and two with Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10. And after the seven days the floodwaters came upon the earth or land.
11. In the year 600 of Noah's life, in the seventeenth day of the second month, that same day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up and burst forth, and the windows and floodgates of the heavens were opened.
12. And it rained upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
13. On the very 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, went into the ark,
14. They and every [wild] beast according to its kind, all the livestock according to their kinds, every moving thing that creeps on the land according to its kind, and every fowl according to its kind, every winged thing of every sort.
15. And they went into the ark with Noah, two and two of all flesh in which there were the breath and spirit of life.
16. And they that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded [Noah]; and the Lord shut him in and closed [the door] round about him.
