Genesis 6:13-18

13Then God said to Noah, “1The end of all flesh has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth.

14Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood; you shall make the ark with rooms, and shall 2cover it inside and out with pitch.

15This is how you shall make it: the length of the ark three hundred 3cubits, its breadth fifty 4cubits, and its height thirty 5cubits.

16You shall make a 6window for the ark, and finish it to a cubit from 7the top; and set the door of the ark in the side of it; you shall make it with lower, second, and third decks.

17Behold, 8I, even I am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall perish.

18But I will establish 9My covenant with you; and 10you shall enter the ark--you and your sons and your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.
