11 God saw how corrupt the whole world had become, full of violent and lawless people.12 God recognized that the corruption in the world was due to everyone on earth living corrupt lives.13 So God told Noah, “I have decided to put an end to all people on earth because they are all violent and lawless. I myself am going to destroy all of them, along with the earth.

14 Build an ark out of cypress wood. Make rooms inside the ark, and coat it with tar, both inside and out.15 This is how to build it: the ark is to measure 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high.16 Make a roof for the ark, leaving a cubit-wide opening between the roof and the top of the sides. Put a door in the side of the ark, and construct three decks inside.

17 I myself am going to flood the earth with water that will destroy everything that breathes. Every living thing everywhere on earth will die.18 But I will keep my agreement with you. You are to go into the ark, taking with you your wife and your sons and their wives.19 Take a pair, male and female, of every kind of animal into the ark and make sure you keep them alive.20 The same applies to every kind of bird, livestock, and the creatures that run along the ground—a pair of every kind will come to you so they can be kept alive.21 Take all kinds of food with you too. Store it so you and the animals will have enough to eat.”

22 Noah did exactly what God ordered him to do.
