6:8
Noah, however, found favor in the eyes of the LORD.
6:9
This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation; Noah walked with God.
6:10
And Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
6:11
Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and full of violence.
6:12
And God looked upon the earth and saw that it was corrupt; for all living creatures on the earth had corrupted their ways.
6:13
Then God said to Noah, “The end of all living creatures has come before Me, because through them the earth is full of violence. Now behold, I will destroy both them and the earth.
6:14
Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood; make rooms in the ark and coat it with pitch inside and out.
6:15
And this is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high.
6:16
You are to make a roof for the ark, finish its walls a cubit from the top, place a door in the side of the ark, and build lower, middle, and upper decks.
6:17
And behold, I will bring floodwaters upon the earth to destroy every creature under the heavens that has the breath of life. Everything on the earth will perish.
6:18
But I will establish My covenant with you, and you will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you.
6:19
And you are to bring two of every living creature into the ark—male and female—to keep them alive with you.
6:20
Two of every kind of bird and animal and crawling creature will come to you to be kept alive.
6:21
You are also to take for yourself every kind of food that is eaten and gather it as food for yourselves and for the animals.”
6:22
So Noah did everything precisely as God had commanded him.
