Put the door on the side, and build three decks inside the boat— lower, middle, and upper.“ Look! I am about to cover the earth with a flood that will destroy every living thing that breathes. Everything on earth will die.But I will confirm my covenant with you. So enter the boat— you and your wife and your sons and their wives.Bring a pair of every kind of animal— a male and a female— into the boat with you to keep them alive during the flood.Pairs of every kind of bird, and every kind of animal, and every kind of small animal that scurries along the ground, will come to you to be kept alive.And be sure to take on board enough food for your family and for all the animals.”So Noah did everything exactly as God had commanded him.When everything was ready, the Lord said to Noah,“ Go into the boat with all your family, for among all the people of the earth, I can see that you alone are righteous.
