This story is about Noah and the great flood. God tells Noah that the earth has become corrupt and decides to destroy all of humanity with a flood. God instructs Noah to build an ark and gather two of every kind of animal to be saved. Noah obeys God and builds the ark. It rains for 40 days and nights, flooding the entire world. Only Noah, his family, and the animals on the ark survive. When the waters recede, Noah sends out a dove to find land and makes a sacrifice to God when it returns with an olive leaf, signifying the flood is over.

1. This is the story of Noah.
When Noah was born,
Lamech, his father,
proclaimed,
“My son, Noah, will be a
blessing to the world!”

2. And so Noah grew up
to be a man of God.
He got married
and had 3 sons,
Shem, Ham
and Japheth.

3. Although God was happy with Noah …

4. God was very
grieved…

5. ..that the people around Noah were wicked …

6. …and did evil things to each other.

7. hen we do bad things, we make God sad too

8. God called Noah and said: “I see how the earth
is full of lawlessness …

9. …and corruption.
I will destroy all men
and beasts.

10. God said:
“I want you to make
a boat 440 feet long,
73 feet wide,
And 44 feet high.”

11. “Cover it
inside out
with pitch,
and make
3 decks inside.”

12. Noah took down
all the instructions
God told him
because Noah
wanted to follow
everything God
said.
Noah took down
all the instructions
God told him
because Noah
wanted to follow
everything God said.

13. Noah knew that if
He obeyed God,
God will bless him.
Do you know that
if you obey God,
God will bless you too?

14. Maybe God won’t tell you
to make a boat,
but each one of us
has a special gift
God wants us to use,
a special role,
a unique mission
just like Noah.

15. When God finished giving Noah
all the instructions about the boat,
God said, “I’m going to send
rain and flood,
but don’t be afraid, because
I will take care of you and
your wife, your sons
and your sons’ wives
and all their children.”

16. “You must also bring
two of every living creature,
one male and one female.
You also have to provide
food for yourselves
and for the animals.

17. And so Noah and
his family set to work
on building the boat.
His neighbors
laughed and jeered
but Noah
and his family
kept working.

18. They also went and gathered a pair of
every kind of animal and stocked up
on food, just as God instructed.

19. Soon, the Lord said
to Noah,
“Go into the boat,
you and your family.
Bring all the animals
and the food.” I

20. “In 7 days,” God said,
“it will start raining for
40 days and 40 nights.”
So Noah and his family …

21. days, it started raining. God shut them all in safel
…and
all the animals
went into the boat.

22. True enough, in 7 days, it started raining.
God shut them all in safely so no one could get in.
y now, Noah’s neighbors were shouting to be let in

23. For 40 days and 40 nights, heavy rain poured on
the earth. The waters lifted the boat higher…

24. ...and higher!

25. All the highest mountains could be seen no more!

26. ll the creatures of the earth, all mankind perished!
Only Noah and his family and the animals
on the boat survived the flood.

27. The rain stopped after 40 days and 40 nights…

28. …but the waters took a long time to subside.

29. Noah had to send a bird to fly around to see if
there was dry land. The bird came back
because it couldn’t find anywhere to stay.

30. So Noah sent the bird off again.

31. The second time the bird returned with a
branch from a tree. The third time,
the bird didn’t return again.

32. After a year went by since the rain began to fall,
at last the earth was dry!

33. The boat landed on the mountain of Ararat.

34. God called out to Noah,
“Come out now, Noah!
Let all the animals out
so they can multiply!”

35. Pair by pair, the animals
left the boat.
n you imagine the relief they
lt after being cooped up in the boat?

36. Noah was so happy
he built an altar
and gave thanks
to the Lord.

37. God was so pleased
with Noah, he said,
“I make a promise to you-
never again to send a
flood to destroy all the
living creatures
on the earth.”

38. “I will hang a
rainbow
in the sky
to remind
Me of my
promise.”

39. “The rainbow
is a sign of
My promise
to you and
all the creatures
of the earth!”
