Genesis 7:11-24

11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were opened. 
12 And rain fell upon the earth forty days and forty nights. 
13 On the very same day Noah and his sons, Shem and Ham and Japheth, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them entered the ark, 14 they and every beast, according to its kind, and all the livestock according to their kinds, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, according to its kind, and every bird, according to its kind, every winged creature. 
15 They went into the ark with Noah, two and two of all flesh in which there was the breath of life. 
16 And those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded him. And the LORD shut him in.
17 The flood continued forty days on the earth. The waters increased and bore up the ark, and it rose high above the earth. 
18 The waters prevailed and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the face of the waters. 
19 And the waters prevailed so mightily on the earth that all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered. 
20 The waters prevailed above the mountains, covering them fifteen cubits deep. 
21 And all flesh died that moved on the earth, birds, livestock, beasts, all swarming creatures that swarm on the earth, and all mankind. 
22 Everything on the dry land in whose nostrils was the breath of life died. 
23 He blotted out every living thing that was on the face of the ground, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens. They were blotted out from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ark. 
24 And the waters prevailed on the earth 150 days.

Genesis 8:20-22

20 Then Noah built an altar to the LORD and took some of every clean animal and some of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 
21 And when the LORD smelled the pleasing aroma, the LORD said in his heart, “I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the intention of man's heart is evil from his youth. Neither will I ever again strike down every living creature as I have done. 
22 While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.”
