Genesis 6:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ Make a roof for it. Leave below the roof an opening all the way around that is a foot and a half high. Put a door in one side of the ark. Make lower, middle and upper decks. ¹⁷ I am going to bring a flood on the earth. It will destroy all life under the sky. It will destroy every living creature that breathes. Everything on earth will die. ¹⁸ But I will make my covenant with you. You will go into the ark. Your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives will enter it with you.
