10 E sucedeu que ao sétimo dia as águas do dilúvio foram sobre a terra.

11 No ano seiscentos da vida de Noé, no mês segundo, no dia dezessete do mês, naquele dia foram rompidas todas as fontes do grande abismo, e as comportas dos céus foram abertas;

12 E houve chuva sobre a terra quarenta dias e quarenta noites.

13 Neste mesmo dia entrou Noé, e Sem, e Cam e Jafé, filhos de Noé, a mulher de Noé, e as três mulheres de seus filhos com ele na arca;

14 Eles e todos os animais silvestres segundo suas espécies, e todos os animais mansos segundo suas espécies, e todo réptil que anda arrastando sobre a terra segundo sua espécie, e toda ave segundo sua espécie, todo pássaro, toda espécie de animal voador.
