Genesis 7:1

CHAPTER VII

God informs Noah that within seven days he shall send a rain upon

the earth, that shall continue for forty days and nights; and

therefore commands him to take his family, with the different

clean and unclean animals, and enter the ark, 1-4.

This command punctually obeyed, 5-9.

In the seventeenth day of the second month, in the six hundredth

year of Noah's life, the waters, from the opened windows of heaven,

and the broken up fountains of the great deep, were poured out upon

the earth, 10-12.

The different quadrupeds, fowls, and reptiles come unto Noah, and

the Lord shuts him and them in, 13-16.

The waters increase, and the ark floats, 17.

The whole earth is covered with water fifteen cubits above the

highest mountains, 18-20.

All terrestrial animals die, 21-23.

And the waters prevail one hundred and fifty days, 24.
