4 In seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. I will wipe off from the fertile land every living thing that I have made."
5 Noah did everything the Lord commanded him.
6 Noah was 600 years old when the floodwaters arrived on earth.
7 Noah, his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives with him entered the ark to escape the floodwaters.
8 From the clean and unclean animals, from the birds and everything crawling on the ground,
9 two of each, male and female, went into the ark with Noah, just as God commanded Noah.
10 After seven days, the floodwaters arrived on the earth.
