Take with you seven pairs of each kind of ritually clean animal, but only one pair of each kind of unclean animal.

Take also seven pairs of each kind of bird. Do this so that every kind of animal and bird will be kept alive to reproduce again on the earth.

A male and a female of every kind of animal and bird, whether ritually clean or unclean,

went into the boat with Noah, as God had commanded.

A male and a female of each kind of living being went into the boat with Noah,

as God had commanded. Then the LORD shut the door behind Noah.

Take all the birds and animals out with you, so that they may reproduce and spread over all the earth."

Your righteousness is towering like the mountains; your justice is like the depths of the sea. People and animals are in your care.
