Genesis 6:21

19 And you are to bring two of every living creature into the ark—male and female—to keep them alive with you.

20 Two of every kind of bird and animal and crawling creature will come to you to be kept alive.

You are also to take for yourself every kind of food that is eaten and gather it as food for yourselves and for the animals.”

22 So Noah did everything precisely as God had commanded him.
