Genesis 6:9-22 (NKJV)
[9] This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.
[10] And Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
[11] The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
[12] So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
[13] And God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
[14] Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.
[15] And this is how you shall make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.
[16] You shall make a window for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above; and set the door of the ark in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third decks.
[17] And behold, I Myself am bringing floodwaters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall die.
[18] But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall go into the ark—you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.
[19] And of every living thing of all flesh you shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.
[20] Of the birds after their kind, of animals after their kind, and of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind, two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive.
[21] And you shall take for yourself of all food that is eaten, and you shall gather it to yourself; and it shall be food for you and for them.”
[22] Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he did.
Part Four: God’s Covenant with Noah
Genesis 9:8-17 (NKJV)
[8] Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying:
[9] “And as for Me, behold, I establish My covenant with you and with your descendants after you,
[10] and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ark, every beast of the earth.
[11] Thus I establish My covenant with you: Never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood; never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.”
[12] And God said: “This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
[13] I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.
[14] It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud;
[15] and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.
[16] The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”
[17] And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
