Genesis 6:17-7:3

New International Version

¹⁷ I am going to bring floodwaters^(A) on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish.^{(B) 18} But I will establish my covenant with you,^(C) and you will enter the ark^(D)—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you. ¹⁹ You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you.^{(E) 20} Two^(F) of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind^(G) of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive.^{(H) 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.^(I)

7 The Lord then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family,^(J) because I have found you righteous^(K) in this generation. ² Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean^(L) 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^(M) throughout the earth.
