Genesis 7:1-16

[1] And the LORD  said  unto Noah,  Come  thou and all thy house  into the ark;  for thee have I seen  righteous  before me  in this  generation.  [2] Of every clean  beast  thou shalt take  to thee by sevens,  the male  and his female:  and of beasts  that are not clean  by two,  the male  and his female.  [3] Of fowls  also of the air  by sevens,  the male  and the female;  seed  alive  upon the face  of all the earth.  [4] For yet  seven  days,  and I will cause it to rain  upon the earth  forty  days  and forty  nights;  and every  living substance  that I have made  will I destroy  from off  the face  of the earth.  [5] And Noah  did  according unto all that the LORD  commanded  [6] And Noah  was six  hundred  years  old  when the flood  of waters  was upon the earth.  [7] And Noah  went in,  and his sons,  and his wife,  and his sons'  wives  with him, into the ark,  because of  the waters  of the flood.  [8] Of clean  beasts,  that are not clean,  and of fowls,  and of every thing that creepeth  upon the earth,  [9] There went in  two  unto Noah  into the ark,  the male  and the female,  as  God  had commanded  Noah.  [10] And it came to pass after seven  days,  that the waters  of the flood  were upon the earth.  [11] In  the six  hundredth  year  of Noah's  life,  in the second  month,  the seventeenth  day  of the month,  the same  day  were all the fountains  of the great  deep  broken up,  and the windows  of heaven  were opened.  [12] And the rain  was upon the earth  forty  days  and forty  nights.  [13] In the selfsame  day  entered  Noah,  and Shem,  and Ham,  and Japheth,  the sons  of Noah,  wife,  and the three  wives  of his sons  with them, into the ark;  [14] They,  and every beast  after his kind,  and all the cattle  after their kind,  and every creeping thing  that creepeth  upon the earth  after his kind,  and every fowl  after his kind,  every bird  of every sort.  [15] And they went in  unto Noah  into the ark,  two  of all flesh,  wherein  is the breath  of life.  [16] And they that went in,  male  and female  of all flesh,  as God  had commanded  him: and the LORD  shut him in.
