The Great Flood begins
Gen 7:6-17
7:6Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came on the earth.
7:7Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, because of the floodwaters.
7:8Clean animals, unclean animals, birds, and everything that creeps on the ground
7:9went by pairs to Noah into the ship, male and female, as God commanded Noah.
7:10After the seven days, the floodwaters came on the earth.
7:11In 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.
7:12It rained on the earth forty days and forty nights.
7:13In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth—the sons of Noah—and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship—
7:14they, 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.
7:15Pairs from all flesh with the breath of life in them went into the ship to Noah.
7:16Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; then the LORD shut him in.
7:17The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ship, and it was lifted up above the earth.
