17. “Understand what I am telling you. I will bring a great flood of water on the earth. I will destroy all living things that live under heaven. Everything on the earth will die.
18. I will make a special agreement with you. You, your wife, your sons, and their wives will all go into the boat.
19. Also, you will take two of every living thing on the earth with you into the boat. Take a male and female of every kind of animal so that they might survive with you.
20. Two of every kind of bird, animal, and creeping thing will come to you so that you might keep them alive.
21. Also bring every kind of food into the boat, for you and for the animals.”
22. Noah did everything God commanded him.
