Genesis 7:1-9

1Then the Lord said to Noah, aGo into the ark, you and all your household, for I have seen that byou are righteous before me in this generation. 2Take with you seven pairs of all cclean animals,
Or  seven of each kind of clean animal
the male and his mate, and a pair of the animals that are not clean, the male and his mate,
3and seven pairs
Or  seven of each kind
of the birds of the heavens also, male and female, to keep their offspring alive on the face of all the earth.
4For in seven days fI will send rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, gand every living thing
Hebrew all existence; also verse 23
that I have made I will blot out from the face of the ground.”
5 iAnd Noah did all that the Lord had commanded him.

6Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came upon the earth. 7And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sonswives with him went into the ark to escape the waters of the flood. 8Of clean animals, and of animals that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that creeps on the ground, 9two and two, male and female, went into the ark with Noah, as God had commanded Noah.
