Genesis Chapter 7
The Lord declared to Noah, “Walk onto the boat with your family. You are the only one who does the right things. Bring seven pairs of each ritually clean animal but only one pair of each kind of unclean animal. Bring seven pairs of each kind of bird as well. Please do this so that every animal and bird will reproduce again on the Earth.” 7 days from now, I am going to make rain fall for 40 days and nights so that I will get rid of all the living beings that I have made.” Noah did as God had told him. When the large floods came upon the ark, he was 600 during that time. He and his wife, his sons and their wives went into the boat from getting into the floods. Any animal or bird, male or female, whether ritually clean or unclean, also went with Noah to the boat. 7 days later, the floods poured upon the ark. When Noah was 600, all of the vast water body outlets beneath the earth had burst forth and the floodgates were opened. Rain constantly fell on the earth continuously for 40 days and nights.
On the same day, Noah and his wife got into the boat with Shem, Ham and Japheth, Noah’s three sons, and their wives. Every kind of animal, domestic and wild, large and small, and every bird of any kind. Any living being, male and female, were with Noah as well, as God commanded him. Then God closed the door behind Noah. The flood went on for 40 days, and the water was deep enough for floating on the boat. The water became deeper and the boat proceeded to wade to the surface. The water covered the mountains, and it was 25 feet above the mountaintops. Every living being and everything that breathed passed away; human beings, animals and birds. The only ones that were with Noah were the ones in the boat. The water didn't decrease later for 150 days.
