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; also seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep [a]the species alive on the face of all the earth. 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.” (E)And Noah did according to all that the Lord commanded him. Noah was (F)six hundred years old when the floodwaters were on the earth.

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