12 And the rain came upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 On this same day, Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and the wife of Noah and the three wives of his sons with them, went into the ark,
14 they and all the living creatures according to their kind, and all the domesticated animals according to their kind, and all the creatures that creep upon the earth according to their kind, all the birds according to their kind, every winged creature.
15 And they came to Noah to the ark, two of each, from every living thing in which was the breath of life.
16 And those that came, male and female, of every living thing, came as God had commanded him. And Yahweh shut the door behind him.
17 And the flood came forty days and forty nights upon the earth. And the waters increased, and lifted the ark, and it rose up from the earth.
18 And the waters prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth. And the ark went upon the surface of the waters.
