Chapter 7 of Genesis—American Standard Version (ASV)

  1. ¶ And Jehovah said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
  2. Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee seven and seven, the male and his female; and of the beasts that are not clean two, the male and his female:
  3. of the birds also of the heavens, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
  4. For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living thing that I have made will I [a]destroy from off the face of the ground.
  5. And Noah did according unto all that Jehovah commanded him.
  6. ¶ And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
  7. And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
  8. Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that creepeth upon the ground,
  9. there went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noah.
  10. And it came to pass after the seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
  11. In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
  12. And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
  13. ¶ In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
  14. they, and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every [b]sort.
  15. And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh wherein is the breath of life.
  16. And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him: and Jehovah shut him in.
  17. And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth.
  18. And the waters prevailed, and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
  19. And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high mountains that were under the whole heaven were covered.
  20. Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
  21. And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both birds, and cattle, and beasts, and every [c]creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
  22. all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of all that was on the dry land, died.
  23. [d]And every living thing was [e]destroyed that was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only was left, and they that were with him in the ark.
  24. And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.
