Genesis 7:1-10 - Entering The Ark

¹ And the LORD said unto Noah, "Go into the ark both thou and all thy household. For thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. ² Of all clean beasts take unto thee seven of every kind, the male and his female, and of unclean beasts a pair, the male and his female: ³ likewise of the birds of the air seven of every kind, male and female to save seed upon all the earth. ⁴ For seven days hence will I send rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights and will destroy all manner of things that I have made, from off the face of the earth." ⁵ And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him:

⁶ and Noah was six hundred years old, when the flood of water came upon the earth. ⁷ And Noah went, and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him, into the ark from the waters of the flood. ⁸ And of clean beasts and of beasts that were unclean and of birds and of all that creepeth upon the earth, ⁹ came in by couples of every kind unto Noah into the ark: a male and a female: even as God commanded Noah. ¹⁰ And the seventh day the waters of the flood came upon the earth.
