Noah Enters the Ark

The Lord said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family,

for I have found you righteous.” God commanded Noah to bring animals into the ark—

clean and unclean, birds and creatures of every kind. God warned, “Seven days from

now, rain will fall for forty days and nights.” Dark clouds gathered across the sky.

Noah obeyed the Lord completely. He and his family entered the ark, and the animals

followed, just as God commanded. And after seven days… the floodwaters

came upon the earth.
