9These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation. Noah walked with God.

10And Noah fathered three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

11The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

12And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupted, because all flesh had corrupted its way on the earth.

13Then God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before me, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. And behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth.”

14Make yourself an ark of gopher wood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.

15And this is how you shall make it: the length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.

16You shall make a roof for the ark, and finish it to within a cubit from above. And you shall set the ark’s door in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third levels.
