Genesis 7:1-3 ▼

1 Then the LORD told Noah, |Come—you and all your household—into the ark, because I've seen that you alone are righteous in this generation.

2 You are to take with you seven pairs of every clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of the unclean animals, a male and its mate;

3 along with seven pairs of the flying birds, male and female, in order to keep their offspring alive on the surface of all the earth.
