Genesis 7:15-17

New Catholic Bible

¹⁵ They went into the ark with Noah, two by two, every creature that had breath in it. ¹⁶ Those that came, male and female of every type of flesh, entered the ark as God had commanded. The Lord closed the door after them.

¹⁷ The flood lasted for forty days. The waters rose and lifted the ark off the earth as they increased.
