Genesis 7:2-9
7:2 You must take with you seven
of every kind of clean animal,
the male and its mate,
two of every kind of unclean animal, the male and its mate,
7:3 and also seven
of every kind of bird in the sky, male and female,
to preserve their offspring
on the face of the earth.
7:4 For in seven days
I will cause it to rain
on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the ground every living thing that I have made.”
7:5 And Noah did all that the Lord commanded him.
7:6 Noah was 600 years old when the floodwaters engulfed the earth.
7:7 Noah entered the ark along with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives because of the floodwaters.
7:8 Pairs of clean animals, of unclean animals, of birds, and of everything that creeps along the ground,
7:9 male and female, came into the ark to Noah, just as God had commanded him.
