Genesis 7:3 in Context — Genesis 7

1 L’Éternel dit à Noé: Entre dans l’arche, toi et toute ta maison; car je t’ai vu juste devant moi parmi cette génération.

2 Tu prendras auprès de toi sept couples de tous les animaux purs, le mâle et sa femelle; une paire des animaux qui ne sont pas purs, le mâle et sa femelle;

3 sept couples aussi des oiseaux du ciel, mâle et femelle, afin de conserver leur race en vie sur la face de toute la terre.

4 Car, encore sept jours, et je ferai pleuvoir sur la terre quarante jours et quarante nuits, et j’exterminerai de la face de la terre tous les êtres que j’ai faits.

5 Noé exécuta tout ce que l’Éternel lui avait ordonné.
