Genesis 6:13-18
13Then GodH430 saidH559 to NoahH5146, “The endH7093 of allH3605 living creaturesH1320 has comeH935 before MeH6440, becauseH3588 through themH6440 the earthH776 is full ofH4390 violenceH2555. Now beholdH2005, I will destroy both themH7843 andH854 the earthH776.
14MakeH6213 for yourself an arkH8392 of gopherH1613 woodH6086;1 makeH6213 roomsH7064 inH853 the arkH8392 and coatH3722 itH853 with pitchH3724 insideH1004 and outH2351. 15And thisH2088 is howH834 you are to buildH6213 itH853: The arkH8392 is to be 300H7969H3967 cubitsH520 longH753, 50H2572 cubitsH520 wideH7341, and 30H7970 cubitsH520 highH6967.2 16You are to makeH6213 a roofH66723 for the arkH8392, finishH3615 its walls a cubitH520 from the topH4605,4 placeH7760 a doorH6607 in the sideH6654 of the arkH8392, and buildH6213 lowerH8482, middleH8145, and upper decksH7992.
17AndH589 beholdH2009, I will bringH935 floodwatersH3999H4325 uponH5921 the earthH776 to destroyH7843 everyH3605 creatureH1320 underH8478 the heavensH8064 that hasH834 the breathH7307 of lifeH2416. EverythingH3605 on the earthH776 will perishH1478. 18But I will establishH6965 My covenantH1285 with youH854, and you will enterH935H413 the arkH8392—youH859 and your sonsH1121 and your wifeH802 and your sonsH1121’ wivesH802 with youH854.
