God instructs Noah to build the ark

This is the history of the generations of Noah: Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.

Yahweh said to Noah, “Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation.

I, even I, do bring the flood of waters on this earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is in the earth will die.

Thus Noah did. He did all that God commanded him.

But Noah found favor in Yahweh’s eyes.

God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
