Genesis 6:9-22

9TheseH428 are the records of the generationsH8435 of NoahH5146. NoahH5146 was a 1righteousH6662 manH376, 23blamelessH8549 in his 4timeH1755; NoahH5146 5walkedH1980 with GodH430. 10NoahH5146 6becameH3205 the fatherH3205 of threeH7969 sonsH1121: ShemH8035, HamH2526, and JaphethH3315.

11Now the earthH776 was 7corruptH7843 in the sightH6440 of GodH430, and the earthH776 was 8filledH4390 with violenceH2555. 12GodH430 lookedH7200 on the earthH776, and beholdH2009, it was corruptH7843; for 9allH3605 fleshH1320 had corruptedH7843 their wayH1870 upon the earthH776.

13Then GodH430 saidH559 to NoahH5146, “10The endH7093 of allH3605 fleshH1320 has comeH935 beforeH6440 Me; for the earthH776 is filledH4390 with violenceH2555 becauseH4480H6440 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 11coverH3722 it insideH4480H1004 and out with pitchH3724. 15ThisH2088 is howH834 you shall makeH6213 it: the lengthH753 of the arkH8392 threeH7969 hundredH3967 12cubitsH520, its breadthH7341 fiftyH2572 13cubitsH520, and its heightH6967 thirtyH7970 14cubitsH520. 16You shall makeH6213 a 15windowH6672 for the arkH8392, and finishH3615 it to a cubitH520 from 16the topH4605; and setH7760 the doorH6607 of the arkH8392 in the sideH6654 of it; you shall makeH6213 it with lowerH8482, secondH8145, and thirdH7992 decks. 17BeholdH2009, 17I, 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 18My covenantH1285 with you; and 19you shall enterH935 the arkH8392--you and your sonsH1121 and your wifeH802, and your sons’H1121 wivesH802 with you. 1920And of everyH3605 livingH2416 thingH2416 of allH3605 fleshH1320, you shall bringH935 twoH8147 of everyH3605 kind into the arkH8392, to keepH2421 them aliveH2421 with you; they shall be maleH2145 and femaleH5347. 2021Of the birdsH5775 after their kindH4327, and of the animalsH929 after their kindH4327, of everyH3605 creepingH7431 thingH7431 of the groundH127 after its kindH4327, twoH8147 of everyH3605 kind will comeH935 to you to keepH2421 them aliveH2421. 21As for you, takeH3947 for yourself someH4480 of allH3605 22foodH3978 whichH834 is edibleH398, and gatherH622 it to yourself; and it shall be for foodH402 for you and for them.” 2223Thus NoahH5146 didH6213; according to allH3605 that GodH430 had commandedH6680 him, soH3651 he didH6213.
