Genesis 6:13-17 ▼

13 So God announced to Noah, |I've decided to destroy every living thing on earth, because it has become filled with violence due to them. Look! I'm about to annihilate them, along with the earth.

14 So make yourself an ark out of cedar, constructing compartments in it, and cover it inside and out with tar.

15 Make the ark like this: 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high.

16 Make a roof for the ark, and finish the walls to within one cubit from the top. Place the entrance in the side of the ark, and build a lower, a middle, and an upper deck.

17 |For my part, I'm about to flood the earth with water and destroy every living thing that breathes. Everything on earth will die.
