Genesis 7:1–16

¹And Jehovah said to Noah, Go into the ark, thou and all thy house; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. ²Of all clean beasts thou shalt take to thee by sevens, a male and its female; but of the beasts that are not clean two, a male and its female. ³Also of the fowl of the heavens by sevens, male and female; to keep seed alive on the face of all the earth. ⁴For in yet seven days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living being which I have made will I destroy from the ground.

⁵And Noah did according to all that Jehovah had commanded him. ⁶And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was on the earth. ⁷And 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. ⁸Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowl, and of everything that creeps on the ground, ⁹there came two and two unto Noah into the ark, male and female, as God had commanded Noah. ¹⁰And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were on the earth.

¹¹In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that same day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. ¹²And the pour of rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.

¹³On the same day went 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; ¹⁴they, and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and all fowl after its kind—every bird of every wing. ¹⁵And they went to Noah, into the ark, two and two of all flesh, in which was the breath of life. ¹⁶And they that came, came male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him. And Jehovah shut him in.
