Genesis 6:13-18

13God said to Noah, ‘I will destroy everyone. That is what I have decided to do. Everywhere on the earth, people are attacking each other. Now I will destroy the people and also the earth.

14So make a ship for yourself. Use wood from cypress trees to make it. The ship must have rooms in it. Cover the inside and the outside of the ship with tar.

15This is how you will build the ship: It must be 150 metres long, 25 metres wide and 15 metres high.

16Make a roof for the ship. Leave a space 45 centimetres high all round under the roof. Put a door in the side of the ship. Inside the ship, make three floors above each other.

17I will cover the earth with deep water. I will destroy all living things, wherever they live. Everything that breathes will die.

18But I will make a covenant with you, Noah. You will go into the ship. You will take your wife with you, and also your three sons and their wives.
