5 Noah complied, just as the Lord had commanded.
6 Noah was six hundred years old when the flood came upon the earth.
7 Together with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, Noah went into the ark because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of the clean animals and the unclean, of the birds, and of everything that crawls on the ground,
9 two by two, male and female came to Noah into the ark, just as God had commanded him.
10 When the seven days were over, the waters of the flood came upon 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 dayAll the fountains of the great abyss burst forth,and the floodgates of the sky were opened.
