4. Seven days from now I will send rain that will last for forty days and nights, and I will destroy all other living creatures I have made.
10. Seven days later a flood began to cover the earth.
13. On that day Noah and his wife went into the boat with their three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and their wives.
14. They took along every kind of animal, tame and wild, including the birds.
15. Noah took a male and a female of every living creature with him,
16. just as God had told him to do. And when they were all in the boat, God closed the door.
21. Not a bird, animal, reptile, or human was left alive anywhere on earth.
24. A hundred and fifty days later, the water started going down.
