Genesis 7:7-10 ▼

7 Then Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him entered the ark to escape the flood waters.

8 Of clean animals and animals that are not clean and birds and fowls and everything that crawls on the ground,

9 they came [motivated by God] into the ark with Noah two by two, the male and the female, just as God had commanded Noah.

10 And after the seven days [God released the rain and] the floodwaters came on the earth.
