1
Then the Lord said to Noah, "Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation.
2
You shall take with you seven each of every clean animal, a male and his female; 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 the species alive on the face of all the earth.
4
For after seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will destroy from the face of the earth all living things that I have made."
5
And Noah did according to all that the Lord commanded him.
6
Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters were on the earth.
7
So Noah, with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives, went into the ark because of the waters of the flood.
