Genesis 6:16-18
Legacy Standard Bible
16 You shall make a [a]window for the ark, and complete it to one [b]cubit from [c]the top; and set the door of the ark in the side of it; you shall make it with lower, second, and third decks. 17 As for Me, behold (A)I am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall breathe its last. 18 But I will establish (B)My covenant with you; and (C)you shall enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you.
