MEDITATION
Genesis 7:1-6
1 Then the LORD said to Noah, “Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation.
2 You shall take with you seven each of every clean animal, a male and his female; two each of animals that are unclean, a male and his female;
3 also seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep the species alive on the face of all the earth.
4 For after seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will destroy from the face of the earth all living things that I have made.”
5 And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him.
6 Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters were on the earth.

沉思
《创世记 7:1-6》
1 耶和华对挪亚说:“你和你的全家都要进入方舟,因为在这世代中,我见你在我面前是义人。
2 凡洁净的畜类,你要带七公七母,不洁净的畜类,你要带一公一母,
3 空中的飞鸟也要带七公七母,可以留种,活在全地上。
4 因为再过七天,我要降雨在地上四十昼夜,把我所造的各种活物都从地上除灭。”
5 挪亚就遵着耶和华所吩咐的行了。6 当洪水泛滥在地上的时候,挪亚整六百岁。
