Genesis 7:6-9 (Vespers, 1st Reading)

6

Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters were on the earth.

7

So Noah, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, went into the ark because of the waters of the flood.

8

Of clean animals, of animals that are unclean, of birds, and of everything that creeps on the earth,

9

two by two they went into the ark to Noah, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.
