Genesis 7:10-16

10Seven days later the flood came on the earth.

11On the seventeenth day of the second month of the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, all the deep springs burst open. The sky opened,

12and rain came pouring down on the earth for 40 days and 40 nights.

13On that same day Noah and his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, as well as Noah’s wife and his three daughters-in-law went into the ship.

14They had with them every type of wild animal, every type of domestic animal, every type of creature that crawls on the earth, and every type of bird (every creature with wings).

15A pair of every living, breathing animal came to Noah to go into the ship.

16A male and a female of every animal went in as God had commanded Noah. Then the Lord closed the door behind them.
