17. I am about to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy from under the sky all the living creatures that have the breath of life in them. Everything that is on the earth will die,
18. but I will confirm my covenant with you. You will enter the ark – you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.
19. You must bring into the ark two of every kind of living creature from all flesh, male and female, to keep them alive with you.
20. Of the birds after their kinds, and of the cattle after their kinds, and of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every kind will come to you so you can keep them alive.
21. And you must take for yourself every kind of food that is eaten, and gather it together. It will be food for you and for them.
22. And Noah did all that God commanded him – he did indeed.
