Genesis 7 · Notes

And YHWH said to Noach (Noah), "Come, you and all your household, into the tebah, for you I have seen as righteous before me in this generation.

From all the clean livestock you shall take for yourself seven seven, a man and his woman, and from the livestock which is not clean, two, a man and his woman.

Also from the bird of the sky, seven seven, male and female, to keep alive seed on the face of all the land.

For in yet seven days I am sending rain upon the land, forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe every standing thing which I made from upon the face of the ground."

And Noah did according to all that YHWH commanded him.

And Noah was six hundred years old, and the flood of waters was upon the land.

And Noah went, and his sons and his woman and the women of his sons with him, into the tebah, from the face of the waters of the flood.

From the clean livestock and from the livestock which is not clean, and from the bird, and from everything that creeps upon the ground,

two two they came to Noah into the tebah, male and female, as God commanded Noah.

And it was at seven of the days, and the waters of the flood were upon the land.

In the six hundredth year of the life of Noah, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on this day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the windows of the sky were opened.

And the rain was upon the land forty days and forty nights.

On this very day Noah entered, and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and the woman of Noah and the three women of his sons with them, into the tebah —

they, and every living thing to its kind, and every livestock to its kind, and every creeping thing that creeps upon the land to its kind, and every bird to its kind, every winged thing.

And they came to Noah into the tebah, two two from all the flesh in which is breath of life.

And those coming, male and female from all flesh they came, as God commanded him; and YHWH shut it behind him.

And the flood was forty days upon the land, and the waters increased and lifted the tebah, and it rose from upon the land.

And the waters prevailed and increased greatly upon the land, and the tebah went upon the face of the waters.

And the waters prevailed very very upon the land, and all the high mountains which were under all the sky were covered.

Fifteen cubits upward the waters prevailed, and the mountains were covered.

And all flesh that moves upon the land perished — the bird and the livestock and the living thing and every swarming thing that swarms upon the land, and every human.

Everything which had breath of the wind/spirit of life in its nostrils, from all which was on the dry ground, died.

And he wiped every standing thing which was on the face of the ground, from human to livestock to creeping thing to bird of the sky, and they were wiped from the land; and only Noah remained, and those with him in the tebah.

And the waters prevailed upon the land one hundred and fifty days.
