Genesis 6:16-18

GOD’S WORD Translation

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 ^[a] to you. You, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives will go into the ship.
