5 And Noah did all that the Lord had commanded him. (Ge 6:22) 6 Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came upon the earth. 7 And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him went into the ark to escape the waters of the flood. 8 Of clean animals, and of animals that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that creeps on the ground, 9 two and two, male and female, went into the ark with Noah, as God had commanded Noah. 10 And after seven days 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 day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were opened. (Ge 8:2; 2Ki 7:19; Ps 78:23; Pr 8:28; Isa 24:18; Am 9:6; Mal 3:10)

12 And rain fell upon the earth forty days and forty nights. 13 On the very same day Noah and his sons, Shem and Ham and Japheth, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them entered the ark, 14 they and every beast, according to its kind, and all the livestock according to their kinds, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, according to its kind, and every bird, according to its kind, every winged creature. 15 They went into the ark with Noah, two and two of all flesh in which there was the breath of life. (Ge 6:20) 16 And those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded him. And the Lord shut him in. (Ge 7:2) 17 The flood continued forty days on the earth. The waters increased and bore up the ark, and it rose high above the earth. (Ge 7:4; Ge 7:12) 18 The waters prevailed and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the face of the waters. 19 And the waters prevailed so mightily on the earth that all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered. 20 The waters prevailed above the mountains, covering them fifteen cubits^[4] deep. 21 And all flesh died that moved on the earth, birds, livestock, beasts, all swarming creatures that swarm on the earth, and all mankind. (Ge 6:13; Ge 6:17; Ge 7:4; 2Pe 3:6)

Ge 6:13Ge 6:17Ge 7:42Pe 3:6

22 Everything on the dry land in whose nostrils was the breath of life died. (Ge 2:7) 23 He blotted out every living thing that was on the face of the ground, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens. They were blotted out from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ark. (2Pe 2:5) 24 And the waters prevailed on the earth 150 days.

1 The Lord then said to Noah, ‘Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation. 2 Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, 3 and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth. 4 Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.’ 5 And Noah did all that the Lord commanded him. 6 Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters came on the earth. 7 And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood. 8 Pairs of clean and unclean animals, of birds and of all creatures that move along the ground, 9 male and female, came to Noah and entered the ark, as God had commanded Noah. 10 And after the seven days the floodwaters came on the earth. 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month – on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. 12 And rain fell on the earth for forty days and forty nights. 13 On that very day Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark. 14 They had with them every wild animal according to its kind, all livestock according to their kinds, every creature that moves along the ground according to its kind and every bird according to its kind, everything with wings. 15 Pairs of all creatures that have the breath of life in them came to Noah and entered the ark. 16 The animals going in were male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the Lord shut him in. 17 For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the earth. 18 The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water. 19 They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered. 20 The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than fifteen cubits.^[1] 21 Every living thing that moved on land perished – birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind. 22 Everything on dry land that had the breath of life in its nostrils died. 23 Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; people and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark. 24 The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days.

from Biblica

1 Then the LORD said to Noah, ‘Go into the ark with your whole family. I know that you are a godly man among the people of today. 2 Take seven pairs of every kind of “clean” animal with you. Take a male and a female of each kind. Take one pair of every kind of animal that is not “clean”. Take a male and a female of each kind. 3 Also take seven pairs of every kind of bird. Take a male and a female of each kind. Then every kind will be kept alive. They can spread out again over the whole earth. 4 Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth. It will rain for 40 days and 40 nights. I will destroy from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.’ 5 Noah did everything the LORD commanded him to do. 6 Noah was 600 years old when the flood came on the earth. 7 He and his sons entered the ark. His wife and his sons’ wives went with them. They entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood. 8 Male and female pairs of ‘clean’ animals and pairs of animals that were not ‘clean’ came to Noah. So did male and female pairs of birds and of all the creatures that move along the ground. 9 All of them came to Noah and entered the ark. Everything happened just as God had commanded Noah. 10 After seven days the flood came on the earth. 11 Noah was 600 years old. It was the 17th day of the second month of the year. On that day all of the springs at the bottom of the oceans burst open. God opened the windows of the sky. 12 Rain fell on the earth for 40 days and 40 nights. 13 On that same day Noah entered the ark together with his sons Shem, Ham and Japheth. Noah’s wife and the wives of his three sons also entered it. 14 They had every kind of wild animal with them. They had every kind of livestock, creature that moves along the ground, and bird that flies. 15 Pairs of all living creatures that breathe came to Noah and entered the ark. 16 The animals going in were male and female of every living thing. Everything happened just as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD shut him in. 17 For 40 days the flood kept coming on the earth. As the waters rose higher, they lifted the ark high above the earth. 18 The waters rose higher and higher on the earth. And the ark floated on the water. 19 The waters rose on the earth until all the high mountains under the entire sky were covered. 20 The waters continued to rise until they covered the mountains by more than 7 metres. 21 Every living thing that moved on land died. The birds, the livestock and the wild animals died. All of the creatures that fill the earth also died. And so did every human being. 22 Every breathing thing on dry land died. 23 Every living thing on earth was wiped out. People and animals were destroyed. The creatures that move along the ground and the birds in the sky were wiped out. Everything on earth was destroyed. Only Noah and those with him in the ark were left. 24 The waters flooded the earth for 150 days.

King James Version

1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. 2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. 3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. 4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth. 5 And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him. 6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. 7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons'wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. 8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth, 9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah. 10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah' life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. 12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. 13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah' wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark; 14 They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort. 15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. 16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in. 17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth. 18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. 19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. 20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. 21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: 22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land , died. 23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive , and they that were with him in the ark. 24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.

1 Der HERR sprach zu Noach: Geh in die Arche, du und dein ganzes Haus, denn ich habe gesehen, dass du in dieser Generation ein Gerechter vor mir bist! (Eze 14:14) 2 Von allen reinen Tieren nimm dir je sieben Paare mit, Männchen und Weibchen, und von allen unreinen Tieren je ein Paar, Männchen und Weibchen, (Ge 8:20) 3 auch von den Vögeln des Himmels jeweils sieben, männlich und weiblich, um Nachwuchs auf der ganzen Erde am Leben zu erhalten! 4 Denn noch sieben Tage dauert es, dann lasse ich es vierzig Tage und vierzig Nächte lang auf die Erde regnen und tilge vom Erdboden alle Wesen, die ich gemacht habe. 5 Noach tat alles genauso, wie ihm der HERR geboten hatte. (Heb 11:7) 6 Noach war sechshundert Jahre alt, als die Flut, das Wasser, über die Erde kam. 7 Noach ging also mit seinen Söhnen, seiner Frau und den Frauen seiner Söhne in die Arche, bevor das Wasser der Flut kam. 8 Von den reinen und unreinen Tieren, von den Vögeln und allem, was sich auf dem Erdboden regt, 9 kamen immer zwei zu Noach in die Arche, männlich und weiblich, wie Gott es Noach geboten hatte. 10 Als die sieben Tage vorbei waren, kam das Wasser der Flut über die Erde. 11 Im sechshundertsten Lebensjahr Noachs, am siebzehnten Tag des zweiten Monats, an diesem Tag brachen alle Quellen der gewaltigen Urflut auf und die Schleusen des Himmels öffneten sich. (Isa 24:18) 12 Der Regen ergoss sich vierzig Tage und vierzig Nächte lang auf die Erde. 13 Genau an jenem Tag waren Noach, die Söhne Noachs, Sem, Ham und Jafet, Noachs Frau und mit ihnen die drei Frauen seiner Söhne in die Arche gegangen, 14 sie und alle Arten der Tiere, alle Arten des Viehs und alle Arten der Kriechtiere, die sich auf der Erde regen, und alle Arten der Vögel, alles Gefiederte und alles Flügel Schlagende. 15 Sie waren zu Noach in die Arche gekommen, immer zwei von allen Wesen aus Fleisch, in denen Lebensgeist ist. 16 Und die kamen, waren männlich und weiblich; von allen Wesen aus Fleisch kamen sie, wie Gott ihm geboten hatte. Dann schloss der HERR hinter ihm zu. 17 Die Flut auf der Erde dauerte vierzig Tage. Das Wasser stieg und hob die Arche immer höher über die Erde. 18 Das Wasser schwoll an und stieg immer mehr auf der Erde, die Arche aber trieb auf dem Wasser dahin. 19 Das Wasser war auf der Erde gewaltig angeschwollen und bedeckte alle hohen Berge, die es unter dem ganzen Himmel gibt. 20 Das Wasser war fünfzehn Ellen über die Berge hinaus angeschwollen und hatte sie zugedeckt. 21 Da fanden alle Wesen aus Fleisch, die sich auf der Erde geregt hatten, den Tod, Vögel, Vieh und sonstige Tiere, alles, wovon die Erde gewimmelt hatte, und auch alle Menschen. 22 Alles, was auf der Erde durch die Nase Lebensgeist atmet, und alles, was auf dem Trockenen lebt, starb. 23 Gott vertilgte also alle Wesen auf dem Erdboden, vom Menschen bis zum Vieh, bis zu den Kriechtieren und die Vögel des Himmels; sie alle wurden von der Erde vertilgt. Übrig blieb nur Noach und was mit ihm in der Arche war. (Mt 24:39; Lu 17:27; 2Pe 2:5) 24 Das Wasser aber schwoll hundertfünfzig Tage lang auf der Erde an.
