Taken from Genesis 7:1-24
Noah has finished building the ark, and now the day has finally came when God said to Noah, "Take your family and go into the ark. For from all the people on the earth, you alone are righteous, the one who worships and obeys me. I want you to take along seven pairs, male and female, of each animal and bird that I have said was alright for eating, and for sacrifices. And take one pair, male and female, of each of the other animals and birds. There must be a male and a female in each pair to be sure that every kind of living creature will live through the flood. For one week from today the rain will begin. It will rain for 40 days and 40 nights. And I will wipe from the earth all the living things I have created."
Noah did exactly as the Lord told him to do. Noah was 600 years old when the flood started. Noah went into the ark with his wife, their sons, and his son's wives to escape the flood. With them were all the different kinds of animals, large and small, and the birds that God told them to put in the ark.
One week later, the flood waters came and covered the earth. The streams of underground waters broke loose on the earth, and the rain fell heavy from the sky. It rained for 40 days and 40 nights. But Noah and all of his family, the animals, the birds, and the flying insects were all safe inside the ark. For you see God had shut the door of the ark, locking Noah and all of them inside the ark. Everything that breathed air and lived on dry land died that was outside the ark. The flood waters covered the earth for 40 days and 40 nights. The flood waters lifted the ark high above the earth. As water rose higher and higher above the ground, the ark floated safely on the surface of the water. Finally the water covered even the highest mountains on the earth, standing more than 22 feet above the highest mountain top. And the water covered the earth for 150 days.
