Genesis 6:13–22

¹³And God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before me, for the earth was filled with violence because of them. Now, look, I am going to destroy them along with the earth. ¹⁴Make for yourself an ark of cypress wood; you must make the ark with rooms, then^g you must cover it with pitch, inside and outside. ¹⁵And this is how you must make it: the length of the ark, three hundred cubits; its width fifty cubits; its height, thirty cubits. ¹⁶You must make a roof for the ark, and finish it to a cubit above.^h And as for the door of the ark, you must put it in its side. You must make it with a lower, second, and a third deck.

¹⁷And I, behold, I am about to bring the flood waters over the earth to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life from under the heaven;ⁱ everything that is on the earth shall perish. ¹⁸And I will establish my covenant with you, and you must go into the ark—you, and your sons, and your wife, and the wives of your sons with you. ¹⁹And of every living thing, from all flesh, you must bring two from every kind into the ark to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female. ²⁰From the birds according to their^j kind, and from the animals according to their^k kind, from every creeping thing on the ground according to its^l kind—two from every kind shall come to you to keep them alive. ²¹And as for you, take for yourself from every kind of food that is eaten. And you must gather it to yourself. And it shall be for you and for them for food.” ²²And Noah did according to all that God commanded him; thus he did.
