Genesis 6:16-18

Good News Translation

¹⁶ Make a roof^[a] for the boat and leave a space of 18 inches between the roof^[b] and the sides. Build it with three decks and put a door in the side. ¹⁷ I am going to send a flood on the earth to destroy every living being. Everything on the earth will die, ¹⁸ but I will make a covenant with you. Go into the boat with your wife, your sons, and their wives.
