Genesis 7:2-4

New King James Version

² You shall take with you seven each of every ^(A)clean animal, a male and his female; ^(B)two each of animals that are unclean, a male and his female; ³ also seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep ^[a]the species alive on the face of all the earth. ⁴ For after ^(C)seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth ^(D)forty days and forty nights, and I will ^[b]destroy from the face of the earth all living things that I have made.”
