19 De tout ce qui vit, de toute chair, tu feras entrer dans l’arche deux de chaque espèce, pour les conserver en vie avec toi: il y aura un mâle et une femelle.

20 Des oiseaux selon leur espèce, du bétail selon son espèce, et de tous les reptiles de la terre selon leur espèce, deux de chaque espèce viendront vers toi, pour que tu leur conserves la vie.

21 Et toi, prends de tous les aliments que l’on mange, et fais-en une provision auprès de toi, afin qu’ils te servent de nourriture ainsi qu’à eux.

22 C’est ce que fit Noé: il exécuta tout ce que Dieu lui avait ordonné.
