Genesis 7:7-10

7He went on board the boat to escape the flood—he and his wife and his sons and their wives.

8With them were all the various kinds of animals—those approved for eating and for sacrifice and those that were not—along with all the birds and the small animals that scurry along the ground.

9They entered the boat in pairs, male and female, just as God had commanded Noah.

10After seven days, the waters of the flood came and covered the earth.
