Behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
006:014 Make a ship of gopher wood. You shall make rooms in the ship,
and shall seal it inside and outside with pitch.
006:015 This is how you shall make it. The length of the ship will
be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits,
and the height of it thirty cubits.
006:016 You shall make a roof in the ship, and to a cubit shall you finish
it upward. You shall set the door of the ship in its side.
You shall make it with lower, second, and third levels.
006:017 I, even I, do bring the flood of waters on this earth, to destroy
all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky.
Everything that is in the earth will die.
006:018 But I will establish my covenant with you. You shall come
into the ship, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons'
wives with you.
006:019 Of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two
of every sort into the ship, to keep them alive with you.
They shall be male and female.
006:020 Of the birds after their kind, of the livestock after their kind,
of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind,
two of every sort shall come to you, to keep them alive.
006:021 Take with you of all food that is eaten, and gather it to you;
and it will be for food for you, and for them."
006:022 Thus Noah did. According to all that God commanded him,
so he did.
007:001 Yahweh said to Noah, "Come with all of your household into
the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me
in this generation.
007:002 You shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you,
the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean,
take two, the male and his female.
007:003 Also of the birds of the sky, seven and seven, male and female,
to keep seed alive on the surface of all the earth.
007:004 In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty
days and forty nights. Every living thing that I have made,
I will destroy from the surface of the ground."
007:005 Noah did everything that Yahweh commanded him.
007:006 Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came
on the earth.
007:007 Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons'
wives, because of the waters of the flood.
007:008 Clean animals, animals that are not clean, birds, and everything
that creeps on the ground
007:009 went by pairs to Noah into the ship, male and female,
as God commanded Noah.
007:010 It happened after the seven days, that the waters of the flood
came on the earth.
007:011 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month,
on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all
the fountains of the great deep were burst open, and the sky's
windows were opened.
