The Great Flood^(A)

7 Then the ^(B)Lord said to Noah, ^(C)“Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that ^(D)you are righteous before Me in this generation. ² You shall take with you seven each of every ^(E)clean animal, a male and his female; ^(F)two each of animals that are unclean, a male and his female; ³ also seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep ^[a]the species alive on the face of all the earth. ⁴ For after ^(G)seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth ^(H)forty days and forty nights, and I will ^[b]destroy from the face of the earth all living things that I have made.” ^5 (I)And Noah did according to all that the Lord commanded him. ⁶ Noah was ^(J)six hundred years old when the floodwaters were on the earth.
