When God is disappointed with the world he has created, he confides with Noah about his unhappiness. He informs Noah that every living thing on the Earth will be destroyed by a flood.

3. God tells Noah to make an ark out of gopher wood with 3 stories. He lets Noah bring his 3 sons and their wives, and his own wife. Also, two of every animal, one male and one female to keep the species alive.

4. God tells Noah for forty days and forty nights it will rain, until every living thing He made is wiped completely off the Earth. All mountains were covered, all people were gone, and every living thing was wiped out.

5. After 150 days,God made a wind pass over the Earth to calm the water. The rain was restrained and the waters left the Earth. In the seventh month, the ark rested on the mountains of Ararat. The waters decreased continually until the 10th month.

6. At the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ark and sent out a raven and a dove. The dove returned with no place to rest and the raven did not return at all.

7. After another seven days, Noah sent the dove out again and later that night she came back with an olive leaf in her mouth.

8. So, Noah waited another seven days and sent the dove out again. This time, the dove did not return.

9. Now that the Earth is dry, God tells Noah to let everything free so that they will breed greatly and multiply on the Earth. God tells them they can have all the fish they want, all living things for meat, all the green herbs, but the blood you shall not eat.

10. God establishes the covenant with Noah and his family. Noah will pass this on to all living people.
