1 And the Lord said vnto Noah, Enter thou and all thine house into the Arke: for thee haue I seene righteous before me in this age. 2 Of euery cleane beast thou shalt take to thee by seuens, the male & his female: but of vncleane beastes by couples, the male & his female. 3 Of the foules also of the heauen by seuens, male and female, to keepe seede aliue vpon the whole earth. 4 For seuen dayes hence I will cause it raine vpon the earth fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes, and all the substance that I haue made, will I destroy from off the earth. 5 Noah therefore did according vnto all that the Lord commanded him. 6 And Noah was sixe hundreth yeeres olde, when the flood of waters was vpon the earth. 7 So Noah entred and his sonnes, and his wife, & his sonnes wiues with him into the Arke, because of the waters of the flood.
