Genesis 6:13-22

13So God said to Noah, “I have decided that all living creatures must die, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. Now I am about to destroy them and the earth.

14Make for yourself an ark of cypress wood. Make rooms in the ark, and cover it with pitch inside and out.

15This is how you should make it: The ark is to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high.

16Make a roof for the ark and finish it, leaving 18 inches from the top. Put a door in the side of the ark, and make lower, middle, and upper decks.

17I am about to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy from under the sky all the living creatures that have the breath of life in them. Everything that is on the earth will die,

18but I will confirm my covenant with you. You will enter the ark – you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.

19You must bring into the ark two of every kind of living creature from all flesh, male and female, to keep them alive with you.

20Of the birds after their kinds, and of the cattle after their kinds, and of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every kind will come to you so you can keep them alive.

21And you must take for yourself every kind of food that is eaten, and gather it together. It will be food for you and for them.

22And Noah did all that God commanded him – he did indeed.
