the world was filled with wickedness God saw the corruption of the earth and decided to cleanse it with a great flood but Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord so God said to Noah I am going to put an end to all people for the Earth is filled with violence because of them I am surely going to destroy both them and the Earth make yourself an ark of Cypress Wood this is how you are to build it the ark is to be 300 cubits long 50 cubits wide and 30 cubits High make a
roof for it leaving below the roof an opening one cubit High all around put a door in the side of the Ark and make lower middle and upper decks Noah did everything just as God commanded him then the Lord said to Noah go into the ark you and your whole family because I have found you righteous in this generation take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal a male and its mate and one pair of every kind of unclean animal a male and its mate and also seven pairs of every kind of
bird male and female to keep their various kinds alive throughout the Earth [Music] Noah was 600 years old when the flood waters came on the earth and Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons wives entered the Ark to escape the Waters of the flood for 40 days and 40 nights it rained upon the Earth and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the Earth the waters Rose and increased greatly on the earth and the Ark floated on the surface of the [Music] water God remembered Noah and all the wild
animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark and he sent a wind over the earth and the waters receded Noah then sent out a dove to see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground but the dove could find nowhere to perch because there was water over all the surface of the Earth so it returned to Noah in the ark he waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark when the dove returned to him in the evening there in its Beak was a freshly plucked
olive leaf then Noah knew that the water had receded from the earth then God said to Noah come out of the Ark you and your wife and your sons and their wives bring out every kind of living creature that is with you the birds the animals and all the creatures that move along the ground so they can multiply on the earth and be fruitful and increase in number on it then God said to Noah and to his sons with him I now establish my Covenant with you and with your descendants after you and with every
living creature that was with you the birds the livestock and all the wild animals all those that came out of the Ark with you every living creature on earth I establish my Covenant with you never again will all life be destroyed By the Waters of a flood never again will there be a flood to destroy the Earth
