Genesis 7:1-5

New American Standard Bible

The Flood

7 Then the Lord said to Noah, “Enter the ark, you and all your household, for you alone I have seen to be ^(A)righteous before Me in this generation. ² You shall take ^[a]with you ^[b]seven pairs of every ^(B)clean animal, a male and his female; and two of the animals that are not clean, a male and his female; ³ also of the birds of the sky, ^[c]seven pairs, male and female, to keep their ^[d]offspring alive on the face of all the earth. ⁴ For after ^(C)seven more days, I will send rain on the earth for ^(D)forty days and forty nights; and I will wipe out from the face of the land ^(E)every living thing that I have made.” ⁵ So ^(F)Noah acted in accordance with everything that the Lord had commanded him.
