Genesis 6:19-7:5

New International Version

¹⁹ You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you.^{(A) 20} Two^(B) of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind^(C) of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive.^{(D) 21} You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them.”

²² Noah did everything just as God commanded him.^(E)

7 The Lord then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family,^(F) because I have found you righteous^(G) in this generation. ² Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean^(H) animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, ³ and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive^(I) throughout the earth. ⁴ Seven days from now I will send rain^(J) on the earth^(K) for forty days^(L) and forty nights,^(M) and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.^(N)”

⁵ And Noah did all that the Lord commanded him.^(O)
