创7:1The Lord then said to Noah, "Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation.

创7:2Take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate,

创7:3and also seven of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth.

创7:4Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made."

创7:5And Noah did all that the Lord commanded him.

创7:6Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters came on the earth.

创7:7And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood.

创7:8Pairs of clean and unclean animals, of birds and of all creatures that move along the ground,

创7:9male and female, came to Noah and entered the ark, as God had commanded Noah.

创7:10And after the seven days the floodwaters came on the earth.

创7:11In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, on the seventeenth day of the second month-on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.

创7:12And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.

创7:13On that very day Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark.

创7:14They had with them every wild animal according to its kind, all livestock according to their kinds, every creature that moves along the ground according to its kind and every bird according to its kind, everything with wings.

创7:15Pairs of all creatures that have the breath of life in them came to Noah and entered the ark.

创7:16The animals going in were male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the Lord shut him in.

创7:17For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the earth.

创7:18The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water.

创7:19They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered.

创7:20The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than twenty feet. ,
