Génesis 6:17-22

17 Y, he aquí que yo traigo un diluvio de aguas sobre la tierra, para destruir toda carne en que haya espíritu de vida debajo del cielo; todo lo que hay en la tierra morirá

18 Mas estableceré mi pacto contigo, y entrarás en el arca tú, y tus hijos, y tu mujer, y las mujeres de tus hijos contigo

19 Y de todo lo que vive, de toda carne, dos de cada uno meterás en el arca, para que tengan vida contigo; macho y hembra serán

20 De las aves según su especie, y de las bestias según su especie, de todo animal de la tierra según su especie, dos de cada uno entrarán a ti para que haya vida

21 Y tú tómate toda vianda que se come, y júntatela, y será para ti y para ellos por mantenimiento

22 E hizo Noé conforme a todo lo que le mandó Dios; así lo hizo

INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 6

This chapter gives an account of the wickedness of the old world, both among the profane and the professors of religion, which was taken notice of and resented by God, upon which he determined the destruction of it, Ge 6:1-7 only one man, Noah, is excepted, who found favour with God, and whose character is given, Ge 6:8-10 and to whom was observed by God the general corruption of the earth, Ge 6:11-13 and to whom he gave orders and directions for the building an ark for himself, and his family, being determined to destroy the earth with a flood, and all creatures in it, Ge 6:14-17 only he would preserve him and his wife, his three sons and their wives, and two of every living creature, for which, and for himself and his family, he was to take food into the ark when built, Ge 6:18-21 and the chapter is concluded with observing, that Noah did as he was commanded, Ge 6:22.
