¹⁷ And behold, I will bring floodwaters upon the earth to destroy every creature under the heavens that has the breath of life. Everything on the earth will perish.

¹⁸ But I will establish My covenant with you, and you will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you.

¹⁹ And you are to bring two of every living creature into the ark—male and female—to keep them alive with you.

²⁰ Two of every kind of bird and animal and crawling creature will come to you to be kept alive.

²¹ You are also to take for yourself every kind of food that is eaten and gather it as food for yourselves and for the animals.”
