Genesis 6:9-22 describes God instructing Noah to build an ark to save his family and two of every kind of animal from a coming flood that God planned to bring as judgment upon the earth for its corruption and violence. God saw that mankind had become sinful and wanted to destroy them, but chose to save Noah because he found favor as a righteous man who walked with God. Noah obeyed God's instructions to build the ark exactly as specified. He took his family and the animals onto the ark, along with food, and the flood destroyed all life on earth except those saved on the ark.

2. Genesis 6:9-11
These are the generations of Noah. Noah
was a righteous man, blameless in his
generation. Noah walked with God. And
Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and
Japheth. Now the earth was corrupt in
God’s sight, and the earth was filled with
violence.

through them. Behold, I will destroy them
with the earth.

breadth 50 cubits, and its height 30 cubits.
Make a roof for the ark, and finish it to a
cubit above, and set the door of the ark in
its side. Make it with lower, second, and
third decks.

where we are saved not through OUR
righteousness, but the righteousness of
ANOTHER.
