The Doorway of Refuge

10And after seven days, the waters of the flood came upon the earth.

11In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the springs of the great deep burst open, and the windows of the heavens were opened.

12And the rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.

13On that very day Noah entered the ark, with Shem, Ham, and Japheth, Noah’s sons, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them.

14they, and every wild animal according to its kind, and every livestock animal according to its kind, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth according to its kind, and every bird according to its kind—every winged bird.

15They came to Noah into the ark, two by two from all flesh in which was the breath of life.

16And those that entered, male and female from all flesh, as God had commanded him; and Yahweh shut him in.
