Genesis 6:13-16
New American Standard Bible
13 Then God said to Noah, “(A)The end of [a]humanity has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of [b]people; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth. 14 Make for yourself an ark of [c]gopher wood; you shall make the ark with compartments, and [d]cover it inside and out with pitch. 15 This is how you shall make it: the length of the ark shall be [e]three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits. 16 You shall make a [f]window for the ark, and finish it to a [g]cubit from [h]the top; and put the door of the ark on the side; you shall make it with lower, second, and third decks.
