You shall make it with lower, second, and third decks. ^17 (A)And behold, I Myself am bringing ^(B)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 ^(C)die. ¹⁸ But I will establish My ^(D)covenant with you; and ^(E)you shall go into the ark—you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.
