Genesis 7

vayyomer Adonai lenoakh bo-attah vekhol-betekha el-hattevah ki-otekha ra'iti tsaddiq lefanay baddor hazzeh

Then GOD said to Noah, “Go into the ark, with all your household, for you alone have I found righteous before Me in this generation.

mikkol habbehemah hattehorah tiqqakh-lekha shivah shivah ish ve'ishto umin-habbehemah asher lo tehorah hiv shenayim ish ve'ishto

Of every pure animal you shall take seven pairs, male and female mates, and of every animal that is not pure, two, male and female mates;

gam me'of hashamayim shivah shivah zakhar uneqevah lekhayyot zera al-pene khol-ha'arets

of the birds of the sky also, seven pairs, male and female, to keep seed alive upon all the earth.

ki leyamim od shivah anokhi mamtir al-ha'arets arba'im yom ve'arba'im layelah umakhiti et-kol-hayequm asher asiti me'al pene ha'adamah

For in seven days’ time I will make it rain upon the earth, forty days and forty nights, and I will blot out from the earth all existence that I created.”

vayya'as noakh kekhol asher-tsivvahu Adonai

And Noah did just as GOD commanded him.

venoakh ben-shesh me'ot shanah vehammabbul hayah mayim al-ha'arets

Noah was six hundred years old when the Flood came, waters upon the earth.

vayyavo noakh uvanayw ve'ishto uneshe-vanayw itto el-hattevah mippene me hammabbul

Noah, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, went into the ark because of the waters of the Flood.

min-habbehemah hattehorah umin-habbehemah asher enennah tehorah umin-ha'of vekhol asher-romes al-ha'adamah

Of the pure animals, of the animals that are not pure, of the birds, and of everything that creeps on the ground,

shenayim shenayim ba'u el-noakh el-hattevah zakhar uneqevah ka'asher tsivvah elohim et-noakh

two of each, male and female, came to Noah into the ark, as God had commanded Noah.

vayehi leshivat hayyamim ume hammabbul hayu al-ha'arets

And on the seventh day the waters of the Flood came upon the earth.

bishnat shesh-me'ot shanah lekhayye-noakh bakhodesh hasheni beshivah-asar yom lakhodesh bayyom hazzeh nivqe'u kol-mayenot tehom rabbah va'arubbot hashamayim niftakhu

In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day All the fountains of the great deep burst apart, And the floodgates of the sky broke open.

vayehi haggeshem al-ha'arets arba'im yom ve'arba'im layelah

(The rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.)

be'etsem hayyom hazzeh ba noakh veshem-vekham vayefet bene-noakh ve'eshet noakh usheloshet neshe-vanayw ittam el-hattevah

That same day Noah and Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, went into the ark, with Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons—

hemmah vekhol-hakhayyah leminah vekhol-habbehemah leminah vekhol-haremes haromes al-ha'arets leminehu vekhol-ha'of leminehu kol tsippor kol-kanaf

they and all beasts of every kind, all cattle of every kind, all creatures of every kind that creep on the earth, and all birds of every kind, every bird, every winged thing.

vayyavo'u el-noakh el-hattevah shenayim shenayim mikkol-habbasar asher-bo ruakh khayyim

They came to Noah into the ark, two each of all flesh in which there was breath of life.

vehabba'im zakhar uneqevah mikkol-basar ba'u ka'asher tsivvah oto elohim vayyisgor Adonai ba'ado

Thus they that entered comprised male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him. And GOD shut him in.

vayehi hammabbul arba'im yom al-ha'arets vayyirbu hammayim vayyisu et-hattevah vattarom me'al ha'arets

The Flood continued forty days on the earth, and the waters increased and raised the ark so that it rose above the earth.

vayyigberu hammayim vayyirbu me'od al-ha'arets vattelekh hattevah al-pene hammayim

The waters swelled and increased greatly upon the earth, and the ark drifted upon the waters.

vehammayim gaveru me'od me'od al-ha'arets vayekhussu kol-heharim haggevohim asher-takhat kol-hashamayim

When the waters had swelled much more upon the earth, all the highest mountains everywhere under the sky were covered.

khamesh esreh ammah milmalah gaveru hammayim vayekhussu heharim

Fifteen cubits higher did the waters swell, as the mountains were covered.

vayyigva kol-basar haromes al-ha'arets ba'of uvabbehemah uvakhayyah uvekhol-hasherets hashorets al-ha'arets vekhol ha'adam

And all flesh that stirred on earth perished—birds, cattle, beasts, and all the things that swarmed upon the earth, and all humankind.

kol asher nishmat-ruakh khayyim be'appayw mikkol asher bekharavah metu

All in whose nostrils was the merest breath of life, all that was on dry land, died.

vayyimakh et-kol-hayequm asher al-pene ha'adamah me'adam ad-behemah ad-remes ve'ad-of hashamayim vayyimmakhu min-ha'arets vayyisha'er akh-noakh va'asher itto battevah

All existence on earth was blotted out—humans, cattle, creeping things, and birds of the sky; they were blotted out from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark.

vayyigberu hammayim al-ha'arets khamishim ume'at yom

And when the waters had swelled on the earth one hundred and fifty days,
