Genesis 6:13-22
13 Then God said to Noah, “ aThe end of ▼▼Lit all flesh
humanity has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of ▼▼Lit them
people; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth. 14Make for yourself an ark of ▼▼I.e., Unknown species of tree
gopher wood; you shall make the ark with compartments, and ▼▼Or pitch
cover it inside and out with pitch. 15This is how you shall make it: the length of the ark shall be ▼▼About 450 ft. long, 75 ft. wide, and 45 ft. high or 135 m, 23 m, and 14 m
three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits. 16You shall make a ▼▼Or roof
window for the ark, and finish it to a ▼▼One cubit is about 18 in. or 45 cm
cubit from ▼▼Lit above
the top; and put the door of the ark on the side; you shall make it with lower, second, and third decks. 17Now behold, jI Myself am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which there is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall perish. 18But I will establish kMy covenant with you; and lyou shall enter the ark--you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you. 19 mAnd of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every kind into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female. 20 nOf the birds according to their kind, and of the animals according to their kind, of every crawling thing of the ground according to its kind, two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive. 21As for you, take for yourself some of every ofood that is edible, and gather it to yourself; and it shall be food for you and them.” 22 pSo Noah did these things; according to everything that God had commanded him, so he did.
