13 Then God said to Noah, "The end of *humanity has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of *people; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth. 14 Make for yourself an ark of *gopher wood; you shall make the ark with compartments, and *cover it inside and out with pitch. 15 This is how you shall make it: the length of the ark shall be*three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits. 16 You shall make a *window for the ark, and finish it to a *cubit from *the top; and put the door of the ark on the side; you shall make it with lower, second, and third decks.

1 Then the Lord said to Noah, "Enter the ark, you and all your household, for you alone I have seen to be righteous before Me in this generation.

7 Then Noah and his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives with him entered the ark because of the waters of the flood. 8 Of clean animals and animals that are not clean and birds and everything that crawls on the ground, 9 they all went into the ark to Noah *by twos, male and female, as God had commanded Noah. 10 Now it came about after the seven days, that the waters of the flood *came upon the earth.

16 Those that entered, male and female of all flesh, entered as God had commanded him; and the Lord closed the door behind him.

17 Then the flood *came upon the earth for forty days, and the water increased and lifted up the ark, so that it rose above the earth. 18 The water prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth, and the ark *floated on the *surface of the water.

23 So He wiped out *every living thing that was upon the face of the land, from mankind to animals, to crawling things, and the birds of the sky, and they were wiped out from the earth; and only Noah was left, together with those that were with him in the ark.

3 and the water receded steadily from the earth, and at the end of 150 days the water decreased. 4 Then in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat.

6 Then it came about at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made; 7 and he sent out a raven, and it *flew here and there until the water was dried up *from the earth. 8 Then he sent out a *dove, to see if the water was low on the *surface of the land; 9 but the dove found no resting place for the sole of its foot, so it returned to him in the ark, for the water was on the *surface of all the earth. Then he put out his hand and took it, and brought it into the ark to himself. 10 So he waited another seven days longer; and again he sent out the dove from the ark. 11 And the dove came to him in *the evening, and behold, in its *beak was a fresh olive leaf. So Noah knew that the water was low on the earth. 12 Then he waited another seven days longer, and sent out the dove; but it did not return to him again.

13 Now it came about in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first of the month, that the water was dried up *from the earth. Then Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the *surface of the ground had dried up.

15 Then God spoke to Noah, saying, 16 "Go out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and your sons’ wives with you. 17 Bring out with you every living thing of all flesh that is with you, birds and animals and every crawling thing that crawls on the earth, that they may *breed abundantly on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth."

8 Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying, 9 "Now behold, I Myself am establishing My covenant with you, and with your *descendants after you; 10 and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the livestock, and every animal of the earth with you; of all that comes out of the ark, every animal of the earth. 11 I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall never again be eliminated by the waters of a flood, nor shall there again be a flood to destroy the earth."

13 I have set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall *serve as a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.

7 By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, *in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

20 who once were disobedient when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water. 21 Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you—not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God *for a good conscience—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him.

37 For *the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah.38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,39 and they did not *understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be.40 At that time there will be two men in the field; one *will be taken and one *will be left.41 Two women will be grinding at the *mill; one *will be taken and one *will be left.
