Genesis 7:10-16

¹⁰Now it came about after the seven days, that the waters of the flood came upon the earth. ¹¹In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened. ¹²The rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.

¹³On this very same day Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark, ¹⁴they and every animal according to its kind, and all the livestock according to their kind, and every crawling thing that crawls on the earth according to its kind, and every bird according to its kind, all sorts of birds. ¹⁵So they went into the ark to Noah, by twos of all flesh in which there was the breath of life. ¹⁶Those that entered, male and female of all flesh, entered as God had commanded him; and the Lord closed the door behind him.
