16 Make a roof for the boat and leave a space of 44 centimetres between the roof and the sides. Build it with three decks and put a door in the side.
17 I am going to send a flood on the earth to destroy every living being. Everything on the earth will die,
18 but I will make a covenant with you. Go into the boat with your wife, your sons, and their wives.
19-20 Take into the boat with you a male and a female of every kind of animal and of every kind of bird, in order to keep them alive.
21 Take along all kinds of food for you and for them.”
22 Noah did everything that God commanded.
