2 O f every clean beast thou shalt take to thee seven and seven, the male and his female; and of the beasts that are not clean two, the male and his female:

Take with you seven of every clean animal of each sex, and one of each sex of the animals that are unclean.

3 o f the birds also of the heavens, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

And take with you seven of every kind of bird of the sky of each sex, to keep their kind alive over all the earth.

4 F or yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living thing that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the ground.

In seven days I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. I will destroy from the land every living thing that I have made.”
