Genesis 7:1-7 ▼

1 And YHWH said to Noah, “Go, you and all your house, into the ark, because you I have seen righteous before My face in this generation.

2 From every clean animal you shall take with you seven by seven, a male and his female; and from the animals that are not clean, from these two: A male and his female;

3 also from each bird of the heavens, seven by seven, male and female, to keep alive the seed upon the face of all the earth.

4 For after seven more days I am sending rain upon the earth for forty days and forty nights; I will wipe out every living thing that I have made from the face of the ground!”

5 And Noah did according to all that YHWH had commanded him.

6 And Noah was a son of six hundred years, and the flood of waters came upon the earth.

7 And Noah entered—and his sons, and his wife, and the wives of his sons with him—into the ark, from the face of the waters of the flood.
