Coat it with pitch inside and out. ¹⁵ Make it 450 feet long, seventy-five feet wide, and forty-five feet high. ¹⁶ Build a roof for it and put in a window eighteen inches from the top; put in a door on the side of the ship; and make three decks, lower, middle, and upper. ¹⁷ "I'm going to bring a flood on the Earth that will destroy everything alive under Heaven. Total destruction. ¹⁸ "But I'm going to establish a covenant with you: You'll board the ship, and your sons, your wife and your sons' wives will come on board with you. ¹⁹ You are also to take two of each living creature, a male and a female, on board the ship, to preserve their lives with you: ²⁰ two of every species of bird, mammal, and reptile--two of everything so as to preserve their lives along with yours. ²¹ Also get all the food you'll need and store it up for you and them."
