THE ARK
11And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled of unrighteousness. 12And the Lord God saw the earth, and it is being corrupted, because all flesh corrupted the way of him on the earth. 13And God said to Noe:
“The time of every man has come before Me, because the earth was filled of unrighteousness from them, and behold I Myself will destroy them and the earth. 14Therefore make for thyself an ark of four corners out of wood; thou shall make the ark rooms and thou shall asphalt it from inside and from outside with asphalt. 15And thou shall make the ark thus: the length of the ark three hundred cubits and the breadth fifty cubits and the height of it thirty cubits; 16thou shall make the ark with a window and thou shall complete it into a cubit from above; and thou shall make the door of the ark out of the side; thou shall make it with lower, second, and third floors.
17”And behold I Myself will lead up the flood of water on the earth to destroy all flesh, in which there is spirit of life, under the heaven; and whatsoever be on the earth, he shall die. 18And I will set a covenant of Me to thee; and thou shall enter into the ark, thou and the sons of thee and the woman of thee and the women of the sons of thee with thee. 19And from all of the cattle and from all of the reptiles and from all of the beasts and from all flesh, thou shall lead into the ark two two from all, in order that thou shall nourish them with thyself; they shall be male and female. 20From all of the birds flying according to genus and from all of the cattle according to genus and from all of the reptiles creeping on the earth according to the genus of them, they shall enter with thee two two from all to nourish them with thee, male and female. 21And thou thyself shall take with thyself from all of the foods, which thou see, and thou shall assemble to thyself, and it shall be for thee and for those to eat.”
22And Noe did all things, whatsoever the Lord God commanded to him, he did thus (Genesis 6:11-22).
