Genesis 7:8-10

The Voice

⁸ Noah made sure to take along all of the animals (both ritually acceptable and unacceptable), the birds, and all the small creeping creatures ⁹ in pairs by males and females, just as God had told him to do. They all went into the ark with him, two by two. ¹⁰ After seven days, the rains began and waters flooded the earth.
