Genesis 7:7–16

⁷And Noah and his sons and his wife, and the wives of his sons with him, went into the ark because of the waters of the flood. ⁸Of clean animals, and of animals which are not clean, and of the birds, and everything that creeps upon the ground, ⁹two of eachⁱ went to Noah, into the ark, male and female, as God had commanded Noah. ¹⁰And it happened that after seven days the waters of the flood came over the earth. ¹¹In the six hundredth year of the life of Noah, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month—on that day all the springs of the great deep were split open, and the windows of heaven were opened. ¹²And the rain came upon the earth forty days and forty nights. ¹³On this same day, Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and the wife of Noah and the three wives of his sons with them, went into the ark, ¹⁴they and all the living creatures according to their^j kind, and all the domesticated animals according to their^k kind, and all the creatures that creep upon the earth according to their^l kind, all the birds according to their^m kind, every winged creature. ¹⁵And they came to Noah to the ark, two of each,ⁿ from every living thing in which was the breath of life. ¹⁶And those that came, male and female, of every living thing, came as God had commanded him. And Yahweh shut the door behind him.
