Genesis 7:1-7

NSB(i) 1 Jehovah said to Noah: »Go into the ark, you and your whole family. For I have found you righteous in this generation. 2 »Take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate. 3 »Also take seven of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth. 4 »Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.« 5 Noah did all that Jehovah commanded him. 6 Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters came on the earth. 7 Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood.
