¹ The LORD said to Noah, "Come into the ark, you and all your household, for I consider you godly among this generation. ² You must take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, the male and its mate, two of every kind of unclean animal, the male and its mate, ³ and also seven of every kind of bird in the sky, male and female, to preserve their offspring on the face of the earth. ⁴ For in seven days I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the ground every living thing that I have made." ⁵ And Noah did all that the LORD commanded him. ⁶ Noah was 600 years old when the floodwaters engulfed the earth. ⁷ Noah entered the ark along with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives because of the floodwaters. ⁸ Pairs of clean animals, of unclean animals, of birds, and of everything that creeps along the ground, ⁹ male and female, came into the ark to Noah, just as God had commanded him. ¹⁰ And after seven days the floodwaters engulfed the earth. ¹¹ In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst open and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. ¹² And the rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.
