15 Ils entrèrent dans l’arche auprès de Noé, deux à deux, de toute chair ayant souffle de vie.

16 Il en entra, mâle et femelle, de toute chair, comme Dieu l’avait ordonné à Noé. Puis l’Éternel ferma la porte sur lui.

17 Le déluge fut quarante jours sur la terre. Les eaux crûrent et soulevèrent l’arche, et elle s’éleva au-dessus de la terre.

18 Les eaux grossirent et s’accrurent beaucoup sur la terre, et l’arche flotta sur la surface des eaux.
