Noah was an upright man and without sin in his generation: he went in the ways of God.
And Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
…
And God, looking on the earth, saw that it was evil: for the way of all flesh had become evil on the earth.
And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh has come; the earth is full of their violent doings, and now I will put an end to them with the earth.
Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood with rooms in it, and make it safe from the water inside and out.
And this is the way you are to make it: it is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high.
