And Jehovah said to Noah, Come, thou and all thy house into the ark, for I have seen thee righteous before me in this generation.

2 of all the clean beasts thou dost take to thee seven pairs, a male and its female; and of the beasts which are not clean two, a male and its female;

Of every clean beast thou shall take to thee by sevens, the male and his female. And of the beasts that are not clean two, the male and his female.

3 also, of fowl of the heavens seven pairs, a male and a female, to keep alive seed on the face of all the earth;

Also of the birds of the heavens by sevens, male and female, to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

4 for after other seven days I am sending rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and have wiped away all the substance that I have made from off the face of the ground.'

For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and every living thing that I have made I will destroy from off the face of the ground.
