(2 Peter 3:1–7)
1
Then Yahweh said to Noah, “I have seen that from all the people who are now living, you alone always act righteously. So I want you and all your family to go into the boat.
2
Take with you seven pairs of every kind of animal that I have said I will accept for sacrifices. Take seven males and seven females. Also take one male and one female from every kind of animal that I have said that I will not accept for sacrifices.
3
Also take seven pairs of every kind of bird from the sky to keep their descendants alive all over the earth.
4
Do this because seven days from now I will cause rain to fall on the earth. It will rain constantly for forty days and nights. In this way, I will destroy everything that I have made that is on the earth.”
5
Noah did everything that Yahweh told him to do.
6
Noah was six hundred years old when the flood came on the earth.
7
Before it started to rain, Noah and his wife and his sons and his sons’ wives all went into the boat to escape from the flood water.
8
Pairs of animals, those that God said that he would accept for sacrifices and those that he would not accept for sacrifices, and pairs of birds and pairs of all the kinds of creatures that move close to the ground,
9
males and females, came to Noah and then went into the boat, just as God told Noah that they would do.
10
After seven days had ended, it started to rain and a flood began to cover the earth.
11
When Noah was six hundred years old, on the seventeenth day of the second month, all the water that is under the surface of the earth burst out, and it began to rain so hard that it was as though a dam in the sky burst open.
12
Rain fell on the earth constantly for forty days and nights.
13
On the day that it started to rain, Noah went into the boat with his wife, and his three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and their wives.
14
They and some of every kind of wild animal, and every kind of domestic animal, and every kind of creature that moves close to the ground, and every kind of bird, and every other creature that has wings, all entered the boat.
15
Pairs of all creatures that breathed came to Noah and entered the boat.
16
There were a male and a female of each creature that came to Noah, just as God had said they would do. After they were all in the boat, Yahweh shut the door.
17
For forty days the water kept coming and the flood increased and lifted the boat up above the ground.
18
The rushing water rose higher and higher on the earth, and the boat floated on the surface of the water.
19
The water rushed higher and higher all over the earth until it covered all the mountains and everything under heaven.
20
Even the highest mountains were covered by more than six meters of water.
21
As a result, every living being on the surface of the earth died. That included the birds, the domestic animals, the wild animals, and all the other creatures that move around on the ground, as well as all the people.
22
Everything that breathed, that was a creature of the land, died.
23
In this way every living thing on the earth perished, the people, the larger animals, the creatures that crawl, and the birds. The only ones that remained alive were Noah and those who were in the boat with him.
24
The waters remained at full flood like that on the earth for 150 days.
(2 Peter 3:1–7)
1
The LORD said to Noah, “Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation.
2
You shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his female.
3
Also of the birds of the sky, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive on the surface of all the earth.
4
In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. I will destroy every living thing that I have made from the surface of the ground.”
5
Noah did everything that the LORD commanded him.
6
Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came on the earth.
7
Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, because of the floodwaters.
8
Clean animals, unclean animals, birds, and everything that creeps on the ground
9
went by pairs to Noah into the ship, male and female, as God commanded Noah.
10
After the seven days, the floodwaters came on the earth.
11
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 open, and the sky’s windows opened.
12
It rained on the earth forty days and forty nights.
13
In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheththe sons of Noahand Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship
14
they, and every animal after its kind, all the livestock after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.
15
Pairs from all flesh with the breath of life in them went into the ship to Noah.
16
Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; then the LORD shut him in.
17
The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ship, and it was lifted up above the earth.
18
The waters rose, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters.
19
The waters rose very high on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered.
20
The waters rose fifteen cubits (a) higher, and the mountains were covered.
21
All flesh died that moved on the earth, including birds, livestock, animals, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man.
22
All on the dry land, in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died.
23
Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including man, livestock, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ship.
24
The waters flooded the earth one hundred fifty days.
