1 Nóah and entre into the Arke. 20 The flood destroyeth all the rest vpon the 〈◊〉〈◊〉.

1 ANd the Lord said vnto Nôah, Entre thou and all thine house into the Arke: for thee haue I sene *a righteous before me in this age.

2 Of euerieb cleane beast thou shalt take to thee by seuens, the male and his female: but of vncleane beastes by couple the male and his female.

3 Of the foules also of the heauen by seuens, male and female, to kepe sede aliue vpon the whole earth.

4 For seuen dayes hence I will cause it raine vpon the earth fourthy dayes, and fourty nights, and al the substance that I haue made will I destroye from of the earth.

5 * Nôah therefore did accordyng vnto all that the Lord commanded him.

6 And Nôah (was) six 〈◊〉〈◊〉 yeres olde, whē the flood, of waters was vpon the earth.

7 ¶ So Nôah entred and his sonnes, & his wife and his sonnes wiues with him into the Arke because of the waters of the flood.

8 Of the cleane beastes, and of the vncleane beastes, and of the foules, and of all that crepeth vpon the earth.

9 Therec came two and two vnto Nōah into the Arke, male and female, as God had com∣manded Nôah.

10 And so after seuen dayes the waters of the flood were vpon the earth.

11 ¶ In the six hundreth yere of Noahs life in thed seconde moneth, the seuententh day of the moneth, in the same day were all thee fountaines of the great depe broken vp, and the windowes of heauen were opened.

12 And the raine was vppon the earth fourty dayes and fourty nights.

13 In the selfe same day entred Nôah with Shem and 〈◊〉〈◊〉 and Iápheth, the sonnes of Nôah, and Noahs wife, and the thre wiues of his sonnes with the into them Arke.

14 They and euerie beast after his kinde, and all cattel after their kinde, and euerie thyng that crepeth and moueth vpon the earth af∣ter 〈◊〉〈◊〉 kinde, (and) euerie foule after his kinde, (euen) euerie birde of euerie fether.

15 For they came to Nôah īto the Arke, two & two,f of al flesh wherein is the breath of life

16 And they entryng in, came male and female

of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lordg shut him in.

17 Thē the flood was fourty dayes vpon the earth, & the waters were īcreased, & bare vp the Arke which was lifte vp aboue the earth

18 The waters also waxed strong, and were in∣creased excedingly vpon the earth, and the Arke went vpon the waters.

19 The waters” preuailed so excedingly vpon the earth, that all the high mountaines, that are vnder the whole heauen, were couered.

20 Fiftene cubites vpwarde did the waters preuaile, whē the mountaines were couered

21 *Then all flesh perished that moued vpon the earth, bothe foule and cattell and beast, and euerie thing that crepeth and moueth vpom the earth, and euerie man.

22 Huerie thing in whose nostrels the spirit of life did breathe, whatsoeuer they were in the dryeland, they dyed.

23 Soh he destroyed euerie thing that was vpon the earth, from mā to beast, to the cre∣ping thing, and to the foule of the heauen: they were euen destroyed from the earth, & Noah onelyi remained, and they that were with him in the Arke.

24 And the waters preuailed vpon the earth an hundreth and fiftie dayes.
