Genesis 7:1-9 ▼

1 And YHWH says to Noah, “Come, you and all your house, into the Ark, for I have seen you [are] righteous before Me in this generation;

2 you take seven pairs from all the clean beasts to yourself, a male and its female; and of the beasts which are not clean—two, a male and its female;

3 also, seven pairs from [each] bird of the heavens, a male and a female, to keep alive seed on the face of all the earth;

4 for after seven more days I am sending rain on the earth [for] forty days and forty nights, and have wiped away all the substance that I have made from off the face of the ground.”

5 And Noah does according to all that YHWH has commanded him.

6 And Noah [is] a son of six hundred years, and the flood of waters has been on the earth.

7 And Noah goes—and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him—into the Ark, out of the presence of the waters of the flood;

8 from the clean beast, and from the beast that [is] not clean, and from the bird, and of everything that is creeping on the ground,

9 they have come to Noah two by two into the Ark, a male and a female, as God has commanded Noah.
