And Noah stood asking God to save him from the waters of the Flood.
2Then God talked to Noah, and said to him, "Of every kind of birds, take one pair, male and female of the clean; and of the unclean also one pair, male and female.
3Yet also of the clean take 6 more pairs, male and female.
4And Noah did all this.
5Then when they all had gotten into the ark, God shut to the door of the ark upon them by His power.
6He then commanded the windows of heaven to open wide, and to pour down from them cataracts of water.
7And so it was; by God's order.
8And He commanded all fountains to burst open, and the depths to pour forth water, upon the face of the earth, so that the sea all round rose above the whole world, and surged, and the deep waters arose.
9Yet when the windows of heaven opened wide, all stores of water and depths were opened, and all the stores (locks) of the winds, and the whirlwind, thick mist, gloom and darkness spread abroad.
10The sun and moon and stars, withheld their light.
11It was a day of terror, such as had never been.
12Then the sea all round, began to raise its waves on high like mountains; and it covered the whole face of the earth.
13Yet when the sons of Seth, that were fallen into wickedness and adultery with the children of Cain, saw this, they then knew that God was angry with them; and that Noah had told them the truth.
14Then they all ran round the ark, to Noah, begging and entreating him to open for them the door of the ark; inasmuch as they could not climb the Holy Mountain, by reason of the stones thereof, that were like fire.
15Yet as to the ark, it was closed and sealed by the power of God.
16An angel of God sat upon the ark, and was like a captain to Noah, to his sons, and to all inside the ark.
17And the waters of the flood increased on the children of Cain and overwhelmed them; and they began to sink, and the words of Noah were fulfilled, which he preached to them saying, the waters of the Flood should come and drown them.
18And the waters continued above and below over Noah and his sons, until they were suspended in the ark; and by the strength of the water, the ark rose from the earth; and the flesh of every moving thing perished.
19And the water rose until it covered the earth, and until it covered all high mountains; and the waters rose above them, and above the tops of high mountains 15 cubits, by the cubit of the Holy Ghost, which is equal to three cubits of man.
20So that the number of these were 45 cubits above the highest mountains.
21And the water increased and bare the ark, and brought it to the lower side of the garden, which the waters, the rain, the whirlwind and all that went about on the earth, did worship.
22As did also Noah and his sons and all that was in the ark, they bowed in worship to the holy garden.
23And the water returned to its former state, and destroyed every thing that was upon the earth and under heaven.
24Yet the ark was floating on the waters and rose up before the winds; while the angel of God steered and led it from east to west.
25And the ark thus moved about on the face of the waters 150 days, after that, the ark stood upon the mountains of Ararat, on the 27th day of the month of Tkarnt.
