Genesis 6:10-20

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

10 He had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

11 The world was corrupt in God's sight and full of violence.

12 God saw the world and how corrupt it was because all people on earth lived evil lives.

13 God said to Noah, "I have decided to put an end to all people because the earth is full of their violence. Now I'm going to destroy them along with the earth.

14 Make yourself a ship of cypress wood. Make rooms in the ship and coat it inside and out with tar.

15 This is how you should build it: the ship is to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high.

16 Make a roof for the ship, and leave an 18-inch-high opening at the top. Put a door in the side of the ship. Build the ship with lower, middle, and upper decks.

17 I'm about to send a flood on the earth to destroy all people under the sky--every living, breathing human. Everything on earth will die.

18 "But I will make my promise to you. You, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives will go into the ship.

19 Bring two of every living creature into the ship in order to keep them alive with you. They must be male and female.

20 Two of every type of bird, every type of domestic animal, and every type of creature that crawls on the ground will come to you to be kept alive.

New International Version NIV

10 Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth.

11 Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence.

12 God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.

13 So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.

14 So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out.

15 This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.

16 Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit high all around. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks.

17 I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish.

18 But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you.

19 You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you.

20 Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive.
