13 God said to Noah, “I have decided to put an end to the whole human race. I will destroy them completely, because the world is full of their violent deeds.
14 Build a boat for yourself out of good timber; make rooms in it and cover it with tar inside and out.
15 Make it 133 metres long, 22 metres wide, and thirteen metres high.
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.
