1 And the Lord said to him: “Enter the ark, you and all your house. For I have seen you to be just in my sight, within this generation. 2 From all the clean animals, take seven and seven, the male and the female. Yet truly, from animals that are unclean, take two and two, the male and the female. 3 But also from the birds of the air, take seven and seven, the male and the female, so that offspring may be saved upon the face of the whole earth. 4 For from that point, and after seven days, I will rain upon the earth for forty days and forty nights. And I will wipe away every substance that I have made, from the surface of the earth.” 5 Therefore, Noah did all things just as the Lord had commanded him. 6 And he was six hundred years old when the waters of the great flood inundated the earth. 7 And Noah entered into the ark, and his sons, his wife, and the wives of his sons with him, because of the waters of the great flood.
