Genesis 6:8–22

⁸But Noah ^lfound grace in the eyes of the Lord.

Noah Pleases God

⁹This is the genealogy of Noah. ^mNoah was a just man, ⁶perfect in his generations. Noah ⁿwalked with God. ¹⁰And Noah begot three sons: ^oShem, Ham, and Japheth.

¹¹The earth also was corrupt ^pbefore God, and the earth was ^qfilled with violence. ¹²So God ^rlooked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for ^sall flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.

The Ark Prepared

¹³And God said to Noah, ^t“The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; ^uand behold, ^vI will destroy them with the earth. ¹⁴Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make ⁷rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch. ¹⁵And this is how you shall make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred ⁸cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits. ¹⁶You shall make a window for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above; and set the door of the ark in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third decks. ^17wAnd behold, I Myself am bringing ^xfloodwaters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall ^ydie. ¹⁸But I will establish My ^zcovenant with you; and ^ayou shall go into the ark—you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you. ¹⁹And of every living thing of all flesh you shall bring ^btwo of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female. ²⁰Of the birds after their kind, of animals after their kind, and of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind, two of every kind ^cwill come to you to keep them alive. ²¹And you shall take for yourself of all food that is eaten, and you shall gather it to yourself; and it shall be food for you and for them.”

^22dThus Noah did; ^eaccording to all that ^fGod commanded him, so he did.
