Genesis 6:16-18

Expanded Bible

¹⁶ Make an opening around the top of the boat [^Cprobably a window] that is ·eighteen inches [^La cubit] high from the edge of the roof down. Put a door in the side of the boat. Make an ·upper, middle, and lower [^Llower, second, and third] deck in it. ¹⁷ I will bring a flood of water on the earth to destroy all ·living things [^Lflesh] that live under ·the sky [heaven], including everything that has the breath of life. Everything on the earth will die. ¹⁸ But I will ·make [establish] an ·agreement [covenant; treaty] with you—you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives will all go into the boat.
