Genesis 7:1-5 Then the Lord said to Noah, Go into the ark, with all your household, for you alone have I found righteous before Me in this generation. 2 Of every clean animal you shall take seven pairs, males and their mates, and of every animal that is not clean, two, a male and its mate ;3 of the birds of the sky also, seven pairs, male and female, to keep seed alive upon all the earth. 4 For in seven days time I will make it rain upon the earth, forty days and forty nights, and I will blot out from the earth all existence that I created. 5 And Noah did just as the Lord commanded him. Genesis 7: Noah was six hundred years old when the Flood came, waters upon the earth. 7 Noah, with his son, his wife, and his sons wives, went into the ark because of the waters of the Flood. 8 Of the clean animals, of the animals that are not clean, of the birds, and of everything that creeps on the ground, 9 two of each, male and female, came to Noah into the ark, as God had commanded Noah. 10 And on the seventh day the waters of the Flood came upon the earth. -- (Translation: JPS Tanakh, 1988, Philadelphia)
