What does Genesis chapters 7-9 discuss?

Fr. Mike Schmitz 0:22
This is day four, so let's get started. We are reading today from Genesis. Genesis chapter 7 and chapter 9, as well as diving back into the Psalms, but all the way back to the beginning. We're going to be reading Psalm 1. So to get your Bibles queued up, Genesis chapter 7, 8, and 9, and Psalm 1. A couple of reminders. The Bible translation that I'm using is the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension. It's the RSVCE, the Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition. If you want to read along as well as listen along, you can download your Bible in a Year reading plan by going to ascensionpress.com slash Bible in a Year.

And then lastly, if you want to sign up for our email list, you can do that by texting the word Catholic Bible to 33777. You probably have that memorized by now after these four days. Catholic Bible 233-777. Let's get started. Genesis 7 and 9.
Fr. Mike Schmitz 1:21
Then the Lord said to Noah, Go into the ark, you and all your household, for I have seen that you are righteous before me in this generation. Take with you seven pairs of all clean animals, the male and its mate, and a pair of the animals that are not clean, the male and its mate, and seven pairs of the birds of the air also, male and female, to keep their kind alive upon the face of all the earth. For in seven days I will send rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and every living thing that I have made I will blot out from the face of the ground. And Noah did all that the Lord had commanded him. Noah was 600 years old when the flood of waters came upon the earth. And Noah and his sons and his wife and his son's wives with him went into the ark to escape the waters of the flood of clean animals and of animals that are not cleaned and of birds and of everything that creeps in the ground. Two and two, male and female, went into the ark with Noah as God had commanded Noah. And after seven days, the waters of the flood came upon the earth.
Fr. Mike Schmitz 2:18
In the 600th year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the 17th day of the month, on that day, all the fountains of the great deep burst forth and the windows of the heavens were opened and rain fell upon the earth 40 days and 40 nights. 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, and they and every beast according to its kind, and all the cattle 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 bird of every sort. They went into the ark with Noah, two and two of all flesh in which there was the breath of life, and they that entered, male and female of all flesh." went in as God had commanded him, and the Lord shut him in. The flood continued forty days upon the earth, and the waters increased and bore up the ark, and it rose high above the earth.
Fr. Mike Schmitz 3:13
The waters prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth, and the ark floated on the face of the waters, and the waters prevailed so mightily upon the earth that all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered. The waters prevailed upon the mountains, covering them fifteen cubits deep. And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, birds, cattle, beasts, all swarming creatures that swarm upon the earth, and every man. Everything on the dry land in whose nostril was the breath of life died. He blotted out every living thing that was upon the face of the ground, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the air. They were blotted out from the earth.
