1At that time, after the death of Methuselah, Yahuah (the Lord) said to Noah, Go you with your household into the ark; behold I will gather to you all the animals of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and they shall all come and surround the ark.
2And you shall go and seat thyself by the doors of the ark, and all the beasts, the animals, and the fowls, shall assemble and place themselves before you, and such of them as shall come and crouch before you, shall you take and deliver into the hands of your sons, who shall bring them to the ark, and all that will stand before you you shall leave.
3And Yahuah (the Lord) brought this about on the next day, and animals, beasts and fowls came in great multitudes and surrounded the ark.
4And Noah went and seated himself by the door of the ark, and of all flesh that crouched before him, he brought into the ark, and all that stood before him he left upon earth.
