Genesis 7:1-3 ▼

1 Then the LORD said to Noah, “Enter the ark, you and all your household, for I have seen that you alone are righteous before me in this generation.

2 You are to take with you seven pairs, a male and its female, of all the clean animals, and two of the animals that are not clean, a male and its female,

3 and seven pairs, male and female, of the birds of the sky—in order to keep offspring alive throughout the earth.
