Genesis 7:2-9

New King James Version

² You shall take with you seven each of every ^(A)clean animal, a male and his female; ^(B)two each of animals that are unclean, a male and his female; ³ also seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep ^[a]the species alive on the face of all the earth. ⁴ For after ^(C)seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth ^(D)forty days and forty nights, and I will ^[b]destroy from the face of the earth all living things that I have made.” ^5 (E)And Noah did according to all that the Lord commanded him. ⁶ Noah was ^(F)six hundred years old when the floodwaters were on the earth.

^7 (G)So Noah, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, went into the ark because of the waters of the flood. ⁸ Of clean animals, of animals that are unclean, of birds, and of everything that creeps on the earth, ⁹ two by two they went into the ark to Noah, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.
