6 Noah was 600 years old when the flood came and water covered the earth.
7 So Noah, his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives entered the ark because of the waters of the flood.
8 From the clean animals, unclean animals, birds, and every creature that crawls on the ground,
9 two of each, male and female, entered the ark with Noah, just as God had commanded him.
10 Seven days later the waters of the flood 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 sources of the watery depths burst open, the floodgates of the sky were opened,
12 and the rain fell on the earth 40 days and 40 nights.
