This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.
10
And Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11
The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12
So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
13
And God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

"Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.
15
And 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.
16
You shall make a window for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above; and set the door of the ark in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third decks.
17
And behold, I Myself am bringing floodwaters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall die.
