7:2  Of every clean animal, take with you seven pairs, a male and its mate; and of the unclean animals, one pair, a male and its mate;
7:3  likewise, of every bird of the air, seven pairs, a male and a female, to keep their progeny alive over all the earth.
7:4  For seven days from now I will bring rain down on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and so I will wipe out from the face of the earth every being that I have made.
