Genesis 7:10-16

10Seven days later the floodwaters came on the earth.

11In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the sources of the vast watery depths burst open, the floodgates of the sky were opened,

12and the rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.

13On that same day Noah and his three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, entered the ark, along with Noah’s wife and his three sons’ wives.

14They entered it with all the wildlife according to their kinds, all livestock according to their kinds, all the creatures that crawl on the earth according to their kinds, every flying creature — all the birds and every winged creature — according to their kinds.

15Two of every creature that has the breath of life in it came to Noah and entered the ark.

16Those that entered, male and female of every creature, entered just as God had commanded him. Then the Lord shut him in.
