7 Then Noah and his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives with him entered the ark because of the waters of the flood. 8 Of clean animals and animals that are not clean and birds and everything that crawls on the ground, 9 they all went into the ark to Noah *by twos, male and female, as God had commanded Noah. 10 Now it came about after the seven days, that the waters of the flood *came upon the earth.
