They, and every beaft after his kind; and all the cattell after their kind ; and every creeping - thing that creepeth upon the earth, after his kind; and every fowle after his kind; every 15 bird of every wing. And they went in unto Noe,into the Arke : two and two of all flelh 16 which "badin it the fpirit of life. And they that went in, went in male and female of all flelh , even as God had commanded him : 27 and Jehovah Phut him in. And the Flood was forty daies upon the earth : and the wa- ters increafed , and bare-up the Arke, and it z8 was lift-up from the earth. And the waters prevailed, and were increafed greatly upon the earth, and the Arke went upon the face rg of the waters. And the waters prevailed moll exceedingly upon the earth : and all the high mountains that are under all the z® heavens, were covered. Fifteene cubits up- wards did the waters prevaile : & the moun- t taines were covered. And all flea, that mo- ved uponthe earth, gave up the she ; of fowle, and of cattell, and of beaft; and of e_ very creeping - thing, thatcreepeth upon the zs earth : and every man. All which had the breath of the fpirit of life in his nollrils ; of 23 all which was in the dry land,they died. And every living fubftance was blotted out,' which was upon the face of the earth ; from man unto cattell , unto the creeping thing, and unto the fowle ofthe heavens; and they were blotted out from the earth : and Noe only remained,and they that were with him 54 in the Arke. Andthe waters prevailed upon the earth : a hundred and fifty daies. I z Annotations.
