1. And the LORD said to Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark: for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
2. Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
3. Of fowls of the air also by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive on the face of all the earth.
