Genesis 6:13-18

13Then God said to Noah, “1The end of 2humanity has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of 3people; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth.

14Make for yourself an ark of 4gopher wood; you shall make the ark with compartments, and 5cover it inside and out with pitch.

15This is how you shall make it: the length of the ark shall be 6three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.

16You shall make a 7window for the ark, and finish it to a 8cubit from 9the top; and put the door of the ark on the side; you shall make it with lower, second, and third decks.

17Now behold, 10I Myself am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which there is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall perish.

18But I will establish 11My covenant with you; and 12you shall enter the ark--you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.
