Genesis 7:16

¹⁶And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.c

Genesis 7 details the beginning of the great Flood, a cataclysmic event orchestrated by God to cleanse the earth of its pervasive wickedness. Noah, his family, and the animals enter the ark, sealing their fate as the only survivors. The chapter vividly describes the relentless downpour and the rising waters, emphasizing God's judgment and His faithful preservation of Noah, who found favor in His eyes. This narrative underscores divine justice, the consequences of sin, and the meticulous fulfillment of God's promises.
