Genesis 6:8-22

[8] But Noah  found  grace  in the eyes  of the LORD.  [9] These are the generations  of Noah:  was a just  and perfect  in his generations,  and Noah  walked  with God.  [10] And Noah  begat  three  sons,  Shem,  Ham,  and Japheth.  [11] The earth  also was corrupt  before  God,  and the earth  was filled  with violence.  [12] And God  looked  upon the earth,  and, behold, it was corrupt;  for all flesh  had corrupted  his way  upon the earth.  [13] And God  said  unto Noah,  The end  of all flesh  is come  before me;  for the earth  is filled with  violence  through them;  and, behold, I will destroy  them with  the earth.  [14] Make  thee an ark  of gopher  wood;  rooms  shalt thou make  in  the ark,  and shalt pitch  it within  and without  with pitch.  [15] And this is the fashion which thou shalt make  it of: The length  of the ark  shall be three  hundred  cubits,  the breadth  of it fifty  cubits,  and the height  of it thirty  cubits.  [16] A window  shalt thou make  to the ark,  and in a cubit  shalt thou finish  it above;  and the door  of the ark  shalt thou set  in the side thereof;  with lower,  second,  and third  stories shalt thou make  [17] I,  even I, do bring  a flood  of waters  upon the earth,  to destroy  all flesh,  wherein is the breath  of life,  from under  heaven;  and every thing  that is in the earth  shall die.  [18] But with thee will I establish  my covenant;  and thou shalt come  into  the ark,  thou,  and thy sons,  and thy wife,  and thy sons'  wives  [19] And of every living thing  of all flesh,  two  of every sort shalt thou bring  into the ark,  to keep them alive  with thee; they shall be male  and female.  [20] Of fowls  after their kind,  and of cattle  after their kind,  of every creeping thing  of the earth  after his kind,  two  of every sort shall come  unto thee, to keep them alive.  [21] And take  thou unto thee of all food  that is eaten,  and thou shalt gather  it to thee; and it shall be for food  for thee, and for them. [22] Thus did  Noah;  according to all that God  commanded  him, so did  he.
