"You shall take with you of every clean animal by sevens, a male and his female; and of the animals that are not clean two, a male and his female;
3
also of the birds of the sky, by sevens, male and female, to keep offspring alive on the face of all the earth.
4
"For after seven more days, I will send rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; and I will blot out from the face of the land every living thing that I have made."
5
Noah did according to all that the LORD had commanded him.
