Genesis 6:15

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.
