Genesis 6:8-22 ▼

8 But Noah founde grace in the eyes of the Lorde.

9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a iust man, and perfect in his generations: And Noah walked with God.

10 Noah begat three sonnes, Sem, Ham, and Iapheth.

11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the same earth was fylled with crueltie.

12 And God loked vpon the earth, and beholde it was corrupt: for all fleshe had corrupt his way vpon earth.

13 And God sayd vnto Noah: the ende of all fleshe is come before me, for the earth is fylled with crueltie through them, and beholde I wyl destroy them with the earth.

14 Make thee an Arke of Pine trees: Habitations shalt thou make in the arke, and shalt pitch it within and with out with pitche.

15 And of this fashion shalt thou make it: The length of the arke shalbe three hundreth cubites, the breadth of it fiftie cubites, & the height of it thirtie cubites.

16 A wyndowe shalt thou make in the arke, and in a cubite shalt thou finishe it aboue: but the doore of the arke shalt thou set in the syde therof. With three loftes one aboue another shalt thou make it.

17 And beholde, I, euen I do bryng a fludde of waters vpon the earth, to destroy all fleshe wherin is the breath of lyfe vnder heauen, and euery thyng that is in the earth shall perishe.

18 With thee also wyll I make my couenaunt: and thou shalt come into the arke, thou and thy sonnes, thy wife, and thy sonnes wyues with thee.

19 And of euery lyuyng thyng of all fleshe, a payre of euery one shalt thou bryng into the arke to kepe them alyue with thee, they shalbe male & female.

20 Of fethered foules also after their kinde, and of all cattell after their kinde: of euery worme of the earth after his kynde, two of euery one shall come vnto thee, to kepe them alyue.

21 And take thou with thee of all meate that is eaten, and thou shalt lay it vp with thee, that it may be meate for thee and them.

22 Noah therfore dyd according vnto all that God commaunded hym euen so dyd he.
