Genesis 6:13-18

13Then GodH430 saidH559 to NoahH5146, “1The endH7093 of allH3605 fleshH1320 has comeH935 beforeH6440 Me; for the earthH776 is filledH4390 with violenceH2555 becauseH4480 H6440 of them; and beholdH2009, I am about to destroyH7843 them with the earthH776.

14MakeH6213 for yourself an arkH8392 of gopherH1613 woodH6086; you shall makeH6213 the arkH8392 with roomsH7064, and shall 2coverH3722 it insideH4480 H1004 and out with pitchH3724.

15ThisH2088 is howH834 you shall makeH6213 it: the lengthH753 of the arkH8392 threeH7969 hundredH3967 3cubitsH520, its breadthH7341 fiftyH2572 4cubitsH520, and its heightH6967 thirtyH7970 5cubitsH520.

16You shall makeH6213 a 6windowH6672 for the arkH8392, and finishH3615 it to a cubitH520 from 7the topH4605; and setH7760 the doorH6607 of the arkH8392 in the sideH6654 of it; you shall makeH6213 it with lowerH8482, secondH8145, and thirdH7992 decks.

17BeholdH2009, 8I, even I am bringingH935 the floodH3999 of waterH4325 upon the earthH776, to destroyH7843 allH3605 fleshH1320 in whichH834 is the breathH7307 of lifeH2425, from underH8478 heavenH8064; everythingH3605 that is on the earthH776 shall perishH1478.

18But I will establishH6965 9My covenantH1285 with you; and 10you shall enterH935 the arkH8392--you and your sonsH1121 and your wifeH802, and your sons’H1121 wivesH802 with you.
