7 (13) In the selfsame day Noaĥ, and Shem, and Ḥam, and Yefet, the sons of Noaĥ, and Noaĥ’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ark;

(14) they, and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.

(15) And they went in to Noaĥ into the ark, two and two of all flesh in which is the breath of life.

(16) And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in.

(17) And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it was raised above the earth.

(18) And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.

(19) And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high mountains, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.

(20) Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.

(21) And all flesh perished that moved upon the earth, both of birds, and of cattle, and of beasts, and of every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth, and all mankind:

(22) all in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was on the dry land, died.

(23) And He destroyed every living substance which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and creeping things, and the birds of the heaven; they were destroyed from the earth: and Noaĥ only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.

(24) And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.

8 (1) And God remembered Noaĥ, and every living thing, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters were assuaged;

(2) the fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped,

(3) and the rain from heaven was restrained; and the waters receded from the earth continually: and after the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.

(4) And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

(5) And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.

(6) And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noaĥ opened the window of the ark which he had made:

(7) and he sent forth the raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.

(8) Also he sent forth the dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from the face of the ground;

(9) but the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned to him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put out his hand, and took her, and pulled her in to him into the ark.

(10) And he waited yet another seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;

(11) and the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off: so Noaĥ knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.

(12) And he waited yet another seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again to him any more.

(13) And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month on the first day of the month, that the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noaĥ removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.

(14) And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, was the earth dried.
