Genesis 7 and 9 Then the Lord said to Noah, go into the ark, you and all your household, for I have seen that you are righteous before me in this generation. Take with you seven pairs of all clean animals, the male and its mates, and a pair of the animals that are not clean, the male and its mate, and seven pairs of the birds of the air, also male and female, to keep their kind alive upon the face of all the earth. For in seven days I will send rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and every living thing that I have made I will blot out from the face of the ground. And Noah did all that the Lord had commanded him. Noah was 600 years old when the flood of waters came upon the earth. And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons wives with him went into the ark to escape the waters of the flood of clean animals and of animals that are not cleaned, and of birds and of everything that creeps in the ground. Two and two, male and female, went.

Into the ark with Noah as God had commanded.
Narrator / Scripture Reader (2:13)
Noah and after seven days, the waters of the flood came upon the earth. In the 600th year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the 17th day of the month, on that day, all the fountains of the great deep burst forth and the windows of the heavens were opened and rain fell upon the earth. 40 days and 40 nights on the very same day, Noah and his sons, Shem and Ham and Japheth, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them entered the ark. And they and every beast, according to its kind, and all the cattle according to their kinds, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth according to its kind, in every bird, according to its kind, every bird of every sort, they went into the ark with Noah 2 and 2 of all flesh, in which there was the breath of life. And they that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded him. And the Lord shut him in. The flood continued 40 days upon the Earth. And the waters increased and bore up the ark. And it rose high above the Earth. The waters prevailed and increased greatly upon the Earth. And the ark floated on the face of the waters. And the waters prevailed so mightily upon the Earth that all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered. The waters prevailed upon the mountains covering them 15 cubits deep. And all flesh died that moved upon the earth. Birds, cattle, beasts, all swarming creatures that swarm upon the Earth. And every man, everything on the dry land in whose nostril was the breath of life, died. He blotted out every living thing that was upon the face of the ground. Man and animals and creeping things and birds of the air, they were blotted out from the Earth. Only Noah was left. And those that were with him in the ark and the waters prevailed upon the Earth a hundred and fifty days. But God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark. When God made a wind blow over the Earth and the waters subsided, the fountains of the deep and the windows of the heavens were closed. The rains from the heavens was restrained, and the waters receded from the earth continually. At the end of a hundred and fifty days, the waters had abated. And in the seventh month, on the 17th day of the month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. And the waters continued to abate until the 10th month. In the 10th month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen. At the end of 40 days, Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made and sent forth a raven. And it went to and fro until the waters were dried up from the earth. Then he sent forth a dove from him to see if the waters had subsided from the face of the ground. But the dove found no place to set her foot. And she returned to him, to the ark. For the waters were still on the face of the whole Earth. So he put forth his hand and took her and brought her into the ark with him. He waited another seven days. And again he sent forth the dove out of the ark. And the dove came back to him in the evening. And behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters had subsided from the earth. Then he waited another seven days and.
