Description
NOAH
This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, the
only blameless person living on earth at the time, and he walked in close
fellowship with God. 10 Noah was the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and
Japheth.
11 Now God saw that the earth had become corrupt and was filled with
violence. 12 God observed all this corruption in the world, for everyone on
earth was corrupt. 13 So God said to Noah, “I have decided to destroy all
living creatures, for they have filled the earth with violence. Yes, I will wipe
them all out along with the earth!
14 “Build a large boat[a] from cypress wood[b] and waterproof it with tar,
inside and out. Then construct decks and stalls throughout its interior. 15
Make the boat 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high.[c] 16 Leave an 18-
inch opening[d] below the roof all the way around the boat. Put the door on
the side, and build three decks inside the boat—lower, middle, and upper.
17 “Look! I am about to cover the earth with a flood that will destroy every
living thing that breathes. Everything on earth will die. 18 But I will confirm my
covenant with you. So enter the boat—you and your wife and your sons and
their wives. 19 Bring a pair of every kind of animal—a male and a female—into
the boat with you to keep them alive during the flood. 20 Pairs of every kind of
bird, and every kind of animal, and every kind of small animal that scurries
along the ground, will come to you to be kept alive.21 And be sure to take on
board enough food for your family and for all the animals.”
22 So Noah did everything exactly as God had commanded him
