Genesis 6:14–22

¹⁴Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood;^c make rooms in the ark and coat it with pitch inside and out. ¹⁵And this is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high.^{d 16}You are to make a roof^e for the ark, finish its walls a cubit from the top,^f place a door in the side of the ark, and build lower, middle, and upper decks.

¹⁷And 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. ¹⁸But 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.

¹⁹And you are to bring two of every living creature into the ark — male and female — to keep them alive with you. ²⁰Two of every kind of bird and animal and crawling creature will come to you to be kept alive. ²¹You are also to take for yourself every kind of food that is eaten and gather it as food for yourselves and for the animals.”

²²So Noah did everything precisely as God had commanded him.
