1Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to NoahH5146, “EnterH935 the arkH8392, you and allH3605 your householdH1004, for you alone I have seenH7200 to be 1righteousH6662 beforeH6440 Me in thisH2088 2timeH1755. 2You shall takeH3947 3with you of everyH3605 4cleanH2889 animalH929 5by sevensH7651, a maleH376 and his femaleH802; and of the animalsH929 that are not cleanH2889 twoH8147, a maleH376 and his femaleH802; 3alsoH1571 of the birdsH5775 of the 6skyH8064, 7by sevensH7651, maleH2145 and femaleH5347, to keepH2421 8offspringH2233 aliveH2421 on the faceH6440 of allH3605 the earthH776. 4For after 9sevenH7651 moreH5750 daysH3117, I will sendH4305 rainH4305 on the earthH776 10fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915; and I will blotH4229 out from the faceH6440 of the landH127 11everyH3605 livingH3351 thingH3351 that I have madeH6213.” 512NoahH5146 didH6213 according to allH3605 that the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 him.
