7 1 Noah and his enter into the Ark. 20 The flood destroyeth all the rest upon the earth.
1 And the Lord said unto Noah, Enter thou and all thine house into the Ark: for thee have I seen (A)[a]righteous before me in this [b]age.
2 Of every [c]clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: but of unclean beasts by couples, the male and his female.
3 Of the fowls also of the heaven by sevens, male and female, to keep seed alive upon the whole earth.
