Genesis 7:1-10 - Entering The Ark

¹ And the Lord said to Noah, Take all your family and go into the ark, for you only in this generation have I seen to be upright. ² Of every clean beast you will take seven males and seven females, and of the beasts which are not clean, two, the male and his female; ³ And of the birds of the air, seven males and seven females, so that their seed may still be living on the face of the earth. ⁴ For after seven days I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, for the destruction of every living thing which I have made on the face of the earth. ⁵ And Noah did everything which the Lord said he was to do.

⁶ And Noah was six hundred years old when the waters came flowing over all the earth. ⁷ And Noah, with his sons and his wife and his sons' wives, went into the ark because of the flowing of the waters. ⁸ Of clean beasts, and of beasts which are not clean, and of birds, and of everything which goes on the earth, ⁹ In twos, male and female, they went into the ark with Noah, as God had said. ¹⁰ And after the seven days, the waters came over all the earth.
