Genesis 7:1–10
And the Lord said unto Noah, aCome thou and all thy house into the ark; for bthee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. 2 Of every cclean beast thou shalt take to thee †by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. 3 Of fowls also of the air †by sevens, the male and the 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 substance that I have made will I †destroy from off the face of the earth. 5 dAnd Noah did according unto all that the Lord 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 fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth, 9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 *And it came to pass ||after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
