Genesis 7:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² Of all clean beasts take seven and seven, the male and the female.

³ But of the beasts that are unclean two and two, the male and the female. Of the fowls also of the air seven and seven, the male and the female: that seed may be saved upon the face of the whole earth.

⁴ For yet a while, and after seven days, I will rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and I will destroy every substance that I have made, from the face of the earth.
