11 The earth also was corrupt abefore God, and the earth was bfilled with violence.
12 So God alooked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for ball flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
The Ark Prepared
13 And God said to Noah, a“The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; band behold, cI will destroy them with the earth.
14 Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make1 rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.
15 And this is how you shall make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred1 cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.
16 You 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.
17 aAnd behold, I Myself am bringing bfloodwaters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall cdie.
18 But I will establish My acovenant with you; and byou shall go into the ark—you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.
19 And of every living thing of all flesh you shall bring atwo of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.
20 Of 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 awill come to you to keep them alive.
