| 1 Then the LORD said to Noah, "Enter the ark, you and all your household, for you alone I have seen to be righteous before Me in this time. | 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. | 1 The LORD said to Noah, "Go into the ship with your whole family because I have seen that you alone are righteous among the people of today. | 1 Yahweh said to Noah, "Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation. | 1 And Jehovah said to Noah, Go into the ark, thou and all thy house; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. | 2 "You shall take with you of every clean animal by sevens, a male and his female; and of the animals that are not clean two, a male and his female; | 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. | 2 Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal (a male and a female of each) and one pair of every kind of unclean animal (a male and a female). | 2 You shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his female. | 2 Of all clean beasts thou shalt take to thee by sevens, a male and its female; but of the beasts that are not clean two, a male and its female. | 3 also of the birds of the sky, by sevens, male and female, to keep offspring alive on the face of all the earth. | 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. | 3 Also, take seven pairs of every kind of bird (a male and a female of each) to preserve animal life all over the earth after the flood. | 3 Also of the birds of the sky, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive on the surface of all the earth. | 3 Also of the fowl of the heavens by sevens, male and female; to keep seed alive on the face of all the earth. | 4 "For after seven more days, I will send rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; and I will blot out from the face of the land every living thing that I have made." | 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. | 4 In seven days I will send rain to the earth for 40 days and 40 nights. I will wipe off the face of the earth every living creature that I have made." | 4 In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. Every living thing that I have made, I will destroy from the surface of the ground." | 4 For in yet seven days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living being which I have made will I destroy from the ground. | 5 Noah did according to all that the LORD had commanded him. | 5 And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him. | 5 So Noah did everything that the LORD commanded him. | 5 Noah did everything that Yahweh commanded him. | 5 And Noah did according to all that Jehovah had commanded him. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
