MEDITATION
Genesis 6:18-22
But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall go into the ark—you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you. 19 And of every living thing of all flesh you shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.
20 Of the birds after their kind, of animals after their kind, and of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind, two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive.
21 And you shall take for yourself of all food that is eaten, and you shall gather it to yourself; and it shall be food for you and for them.”
22 Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he did.

沉思
《创世记 6：18-22》
18 我却要与你立约，你同你的妻，与儿子、儿妇，都要进入方舟。
19 凡有血肉的活物，每样两个，一公一母，你要带进方舟，好在你那里保全生命。
20 飞鸟各从其类，牲畜各从其类，地上的昆虫各从其类，每样两个，要到你那里，好保全生命。
21 你要拿各样食物积蓄起来，好做你和它们的食物。”22 挪亚就这样行。凡神所吩咐的，他都照样行了。
