[6:11] but everyone else was evil in God's sight, and violence had spread everywhere.
[6:12] God looked at the world and saw that it was evil, for the people were all living evil lives.
[6:13] God said to Noah, “I have decided to put an end to all people. I will destroy them completely, because the world is full of their violent deeds.
[6:14] Build a boat for yourself out of good timber; make rooms in it and cover it with tar inside and out.
[6:15] Make it 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high.
[6:16] Make a roof for the boat and leave a space of 18 inches between the roof and the sides. Build it with three decks and put a door in the side.
[6:17] I am going to send a flood on the earth to destroy every living being. Everything on the earth will die,
[6:18] but I will make a covenant with you. Go into the boat with your wife, your sons, and their wives.
[6:21] Take along all kinds of food for you and for them.”
[6:22] Noah did everything that God commanded.
