Hooberus,
Besides the Jewish site previously mentioned to you, notice these three versions. Mostly modern:
Genesis 6:16-21 :: Amplified Bible (AMP) 16You shall make a roof or [1] window [a place for light] for the ark and finish it to a cubit [at least 18 inches] above--and the [2] door of the ark you shall put in the side of it; and you shall make it with lower, second, and third stories. 17For behold, I, even I, will bring a flood of waters upon the earth to destroy and make putrid all flesh under the heavens in which are the breath and spirit of life; everything that is on the land shall die. 18But I will establish My covenant (promise, pledge) with you, and you shall come into the ark--you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you. 19And of every living thing of all flesh [found on land], you shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female. 20Of fowls and birds according to their kinds, of beasts according to their kinds, of every creeping thing of the ground according to its kind--two of every sort shall come in with you, that they may be kept alive. 21Also take with you every sort of food that is eaten, and you shall collect and store it up, and it shall serve as food for you and for them. [Note: First Noah is to bring them into the ark. After that, two of the animals would come in with them.]
Genesis 6:16-21 :: New Life Version (NLV)
16Make a window for the boat, that goes down an arm's length from the roof. Put a door in the side of the boat. And make it with first, second, and third floors. 17See, I will bring a flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh under heaven that has the breath of life. Everything on earth will be destroyed. 18But I will make My agreement with you. You will go into the large boat, you and your sons and your wife, and your sons' wives with you. 19You are to bring into the large boat two of every kind of living thing of all flesh, to keep them alive with you. They will be male and female. 20Two of all the kinds of birds, and animals, and every thing that moves on the ground are to be with you to keep them alive. 21And take with you every kind of ood that is eaten, and store it. It will be food for you and for them.'
Genesis 6:16-21 :: Contemporary English Version (CEV)
16Build a roof [1] on the boat and leave a space of about eighteen inches between the roof and the sides. [2] Make the boat three stories high and put a door on one side. 17I'm going to send a flood that will destroy everything that breathes! Nothing will be left alive. 18But I solemnly promise that you, your wife, your sons, and your daughters-in-law will be kept safe in the boat. [3] 19-20Bring into the boat with you a male and a female of every kind of animal and bird, as well as a male and a female of every reptile. I don't want them to be destroyed. 21Store up enough food both for yourself and for them.
Notice that invariably, even in the sources that you sent me, it reads in verse 19 that Noah is supposed to bring the animals first into the boats. Then, after he brings them, it reads in verse 20 that they will go with him. Never does it say that Jehovah was going to bring them to Noah first.
