Genesis 7:5-15

5 So Noah did everything that the LORD commanded him.
6 Noah was 600 years old when the flood came to the earth.
7 Noah, his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives went into the ship to escape the floodwaters.
8 Clean and unclean animals, birds, and creatures that crawl on the ground
9 came to Noah to go into the ship in pairs (a male and female of each) as God had commanded Noah.
10 Seven days later the flood came on the earth.
11 On 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,
12 and rain came pouring down on the earth for 40 days and 40 nights.
13 On 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.
14 They 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).
15 A pair of every living, breathing animal came to Noah to go into the ship.
