Genesis 7:2-4

Holman Christian Standard Bible

² You are to take with you seven pairs, a male and its female, of all the clean animals,^(A) and two of the animals that are not clean, a male and its female, ³ and seven pairs, male and female, of the birds of the sky—in order to keep offspring alive on the face of the whole earth. ⁴ Seven days from now I will make it rain on the earth 40 days and 40 nights, and I will wipe off from the face of the earth every living thing I have made.”
