- 12. And God, looking on the earth, saw that it was evil: for the way of all flesh had become evil on the earth.

- 16. You are to put a window in the ark, a cubit from the roof, and a door in the side of it, and you are to make it with a lower and second and third floors.

- 19. And you will take with you into the ark two of every sort of living thing, and keep them safe with you; they will be male and female.

- 21. And make a store of every sort of food for yourself and them.
