And God said - Lo! I have given to you - every herb yielding seed which is on the face of all the land, and every tree wherein is the fruit of a tree yielding seed, - to you, shall it be, for food;

Also of the bird of the heavens, by sevens, male and female, - to keep alive a seed on the face of all the earth.

For in seven days more, I, am sending rain on the earth, forty days and forty nights, - so will I wipe out all the living things which I have made, from off the face of the ground.

And the waters prevailed and increased greatly, on the earth, - and the ark went its way on the face of the waters.
