1 Entonces el Señor dijo a Noé: «Entra en el arca con toda tu familia, porque he visto que solo tú eres justo delante de mí en esta generación.
1 Yahweh said to Noah, “Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation.
2 Toma siete machos y siete hembras de cada animal limpio, y dos de cada animal que no es limpio, un macho y una hembra.
2 You shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his female.
3 También toma siete machos y siete hembras de las aves del cielo, para que su descendencia siga viviendo sobre la tierra.
3 Also of the birds of the sky, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive on the surface of all the earth.
4 Dentro de siete días haré llover sobre la tierra durante cuarenta días y cuarenta noches. Destruiré de la faz de la tierra a todo ser vivo que he creado».
4 In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. I will destroy every living thing that I have made from the surface of the ground.”

14 they, and every animal after its kind, all the livestock after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.

17 El diluvio continuó durante cuarenta días sobre la tierra. Las aguas aumentaron y levantaron el arca por encima de la tierra.
17 The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ship, and it was lifted up above the earth.
18 Las aguas siguieron creciendo y cubrieron la tierra, mientras el arca flotaba sobre ellas.
18 The waters rose, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters.
19 Las aguas crecieron tanto sobre la tierra que cubrieron todas las montañas altas que había debajo del cielo.

23 Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including man, livestock, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ship.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
But why in the same place is it also written, "The waters of the flood were upon the earth in the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the twenty-seventh day of the month," if that very brief year (of which it took ten to make one of ours) consisted of thirty-six days?

Hence in the Psalms, fifteen "songs of degrees." Hence the waters of the deluge overtopped the highest mountains by fifteen cubits: and many other instances of the same nature.
