10. Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11. The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12. God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
13. God said to Noah, “I will bring an end to all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them and the earth.
14. Make a ship of gopher wood. You shall make rooms in the ship, and shall seal it inside and outside with pitch.
15. This is how you shall make it. The length of the ship shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.
16. You shall make a roof in the ship, and you shall finish it to a cubit upward. You shall set the door of the ship in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third levels.
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. 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.
