Faith hero: Noah and his story:
Genesis 7:
"The Flood Covers the Earth
When
everything was ready, the Lord said to Noah, “Go into the boat with all
your family, for among all the people of the earth, I can see that you
alone are righteous. Take with you seven pairs—male and female—of each
animal I have approved for eating and for sacrifice, and take one pair
of each of the others. Also take seven pairs of every kind of bird.
There must be a male and a female in each pair to ensure that all life
will survive on the earth after the flood. Seven days from now I will
make the rains pour down on the earth. And it will rain for forty days
and forty nights, until I have wiped from the earth all the living
things I have created.”
So Noah did everything as the Lord commanded him.
Noah was
600 years old when the flood covered the earth. He went on board the
boat to escape the flood—he and his wife and his sons and their wives.
With them were all the various kinds of animals—those approved for
eating and for sacrifice and those that were not—along with all the
birds and the small animals that scurry along the ground. They entered
the boat in pairs, male and female, just as God had commanded Noah.
After seven days, the waters of the flood came and covered the earth.
When Noah
was 600 years old, on the seventeenth day of the second month, all the
underground waters erupted from the earth, and the rain fell in mighty
torrents from the sky. The rain continued to fall for forty days and
forty nights.
That very
day Noah had gone into the boat with his wife and his sons—Shem, Ham,
and Japheth—and their wives. With them in the boat were pairs of every
kind of animal—domestic and wild, large and small—along with birds of
every kind. Two by two they came into the boat, representing every
living thing that breathes. A male and female of each kind entered,
just as God had commanded Noah. Then the Lord closed the door behind
them.
For forty
days the floodwaters grew deeper, covering the ground and lifting the
boat high above the earth. As the waters rose higher and higher above
the ground, the boat floated safely on the surface. Finally, the water
covered even the highest mountains on the earth, rising more than
twenty-two feet above the highest peaks. All the living things on earth
died—birds, domestic animals, wild animals, small animals that scurry
along the ground, and all the people. Everything that breathed and
lived on dry land died. God wiped out every living thing on the
earth—people, livestock, small animals that scurry along the ground, and
the birds of the sky. All were destroyed. The only people who survived
were Noah and those with him in the boat. And the floodwaters covered
the earth for 150 days."
