10. After seven days, the floodwaters arrived on the earth.
11. In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day—on that day all the springs of the deep sea erupted, and the windows in the skies opened.
12. It rained on the earth forty days and forty nights.
13. That same day Noah, with his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, Noah’s wife, and his sons’ three wives, went into the ark.
14. They and every kind of animal—every kind of livestock, every kind that crawls on the ground, every kind of bird—
15. they came to Noah and entered the ark, two of every creature that breathes.
16. Male and female of every creature went in, just as God had commanded him. Then the Lord closed the door behind them.
