…on the seventeenth day of the second month,
all the underground waters erupted from the earth,
and the rain fell in mighty torrents from the sky.
That very day Noah had gone into the boat
with his wife and his sons—
and their wives.
With them in the boat were pairs
of every kind of animal…
A male and a female of each kind entered,
just as God had commanded Noah.
Then the LORD closed the door behind them.
