14. They had every kind of wild animal and tame animal. There was every kind of animal that crawls on the earth. Every kind of bird was there.
15. They all came to Noah in the boat in groups of two. There was every creature that had the breath of life.
16. One male and one female of every living thing came. It was just as God had commanded Noah. Then the Lord closed the door behind them.
17. Water flooded the earth for 40 days. As the water rose, it lifted the boat off the ground.
