Genesis 7:1-9 ▼

1 And the Lord God said to Noe, Enter thou and all thy family into the ark, for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

2 And of the clean cattle take in to thee sevens, male and female, and of the unclean cattle pairs male and female.

3 And of clean flying creatures of the sky sevens, male and female, and of all unclean flying creatures pairs, male and female, to maintain seed on all the earth.

4 For yet seven days having passed I bring rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will blot out every offspring which I have made from the face of all the earth.

5 And Noe did all things whatever the Lord God commanded him.

6 And Noe was six hundred years old when the flood of water was upon the earth.

7 And then went in Noe and his sons and his wife, and his sons' wives with him into the ark, because of the water of the flood.

8 And of clean flying creatures and of unclean flying creatures, and of clean cattle and of unclean cattle, and of all things that creep upon the earth,

9 pairs went in to Noe into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noe.
