God ordered Noah to build an ark

God saw that man was guilty on the earth, and all he thought all day long was evil, so God regretted that he had created man on the earth, and his heart was sad. God said, "I will destroy man and beast, insects and birds in the air from the earth, because I regret making them." Only Noah found favor in the eyes of God.

When God looked at the world, he saw that it was corrupt. All human beings have corrupted their ways on the earth.

god said to Noah, "the end of all flesh has come before me, because the earth is full of their violence, and I will destroy them with the earth. Make an ark of gopher wood, and build it in rooms, and coat it with rosin inside and outside. This is how the ark is made: it shall be 3 cubits long, 5 cubits wide and 3 cubits high. Above the ark, there should be light, one cubit high. The door of the ark should be open next to it. The ark should be divided into upper, middle and lower floors. Behold, I will flood the earth and destroy the whole world. All living things that have flesh and breath on the earth will die. "But I want to make a covenant with you. You, your wife, your son, and your wife, are going into the ark. " Two living creatures of all flesh, one male and one female, are to be brought into the ark, so as to save their lives with you. Birds of different kinds, livestock of different kinds, insects of different kinds on the ground, two of each kind, so as to save lives when they come into you. Take all kinds of food and store it up for you and them. "Noah just do it. He did all that God commanded him.

Noah entered the ark

The Lord said to Noah, "You and all your family will enter the ark, and in this generation, you will be found righteous before me. All clean animals, you should bring seven males and seven females; For unclean animals, you should bring a male and a female; The birds in the air should also bring seven males and seven females, so they can keep their seeds and live on the whole earth. Because in seven days, I will rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will destroy all the living things I have created from the earth. " Noah did as the Lord commanded him.

Noah was 6 years old when the flood flooded the earth. So Noah, his wife, his sons and his wife entered the ark to escape from the flood. Clean animals and unclean animals, birds and all the insects on the ground came to Noah in pairs, male and female, as God had commanded Noah. After those seven days, the flood flooded the ground. When Noah was 6 years old, on February 17th, all the fountains in Tianyuan were cracked and the windows in the sky were opened. It rained on the ground for forty days and nights.

On that very day, Noah entered the ark with his three sons Shem, Ham and Japheth, and Noah's wife and three daughters-in-law. They and all the animals, each according to its kind; All livestock, according to their kinds; Insects crawling on the ground, each according to its kind; All birds, according to their kinds, entered the ark. All living creatures with the breath of life came to Noah in pairs and entered the ark. All flesh and blood entered the Fontaine, and they all had male and female, just as God had commanded Noah. So the Lord shut him in the ark.

forty days of flooding

the flood flooded the ground for forty days, and the water grew upward, floating the ark from the ground. The water is vast, and it grows up on the earth, and the ark floats on the water. The water potential is extremely vast on the ground, and all the mountains in the world are submerged. The water was fifteen cubits higher than the mountains, and all the mountains were submerged. All flesh and blood on the earth, birds, livestock, beasts, insects that crawl on the ground, and all people died; All living things on the dry land with breath in their nostrils died; Every living thing on the earth, including man, livestock, insects and a bird in the air, was wiped out from the earth, leaving only Noah and those who asked him in the ark. The water is vast, and it is on the ground for one hundred and fifty days.

the flood subsided

god remembered Noah and all the animals and animals in Noah's ark. God told the wind to blow the earth, and the water gradually fell. Yuanyuan and the windows in the sky are blocked, and the rain in the sky has stopped. The water gradually receded from the ground. After 15 days, the water gradually disappeared. On July 17th, the ark stopped at Mount Ararat. The water gradually disappeared again, and on the first day of October, the top of the mountain appeared.

Noah let the crow and pigeon out of the ark

Forty days later, Noah opened the window of the ark and let a crow out. The crow flew around until the water on the ground dried up. He sent out another dove to see if the water had receded from the ground. But there was water all over the place, and the dove couldn't find a place to stay, so she returned to Noah in the ark, and Noah reached out and took the dove into the ark. He waited for another seven days before releasing the dove from the ark. In the evening, the pigeon returned to him with a newly twisted olive leaf in its mouth, and Noah knew that the water on the ground had receded. He waited for another seven days, and let the pigeons go, and they never came back.

by the time Noah was 61 years old, on the first day of the first month, all the water on the ground had dried up. Noah took off the cover of the ark and looked, and he saw that the ground was dry. By February 27th, the land was dry.

Noah and his family went out of the ark

God said to Noah, "You, your wife, your son and your wife can go out of the ark. Every living thing with you, birds, livestock and all the insects that crawl on the ground, shall be brought out, so that it may multiply on the earth and flourish every day. " So Noah came out with his wife, his sons and his wife. All the animals, insects, birds and all the animals on the earth, according to their kinds, also went out of the ark.

Noah built an altar to sacrifice

Noah built an altar to the Lord and offered all kinds of clean livestock and birds as burnt offerings on the altar. When the Lord smelled the sweet smell, he said in his heart, "I will no longer curse the earth because of people (people have evil thoughts in their hearts since childhood), nor will I destroy all kinds of living things as I have done." When the land still exists, crops, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night will never stop. "

God blessed Noah

God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. All the beasts of the earth and the birds of the air will be terrified and afraid of you; Even all the insects on the ground and all the fish in the sea beg for your hands. All living animals can be your food, and I give you all these things, just like vegetables. But meat with blood, that is its life, you shall not eat it. I will punish those who shed your blood and killed your lives, whether they are animals or people, even to their brothers. Whoever sheds blood, his blood will also be shed by man, for God made man in his own image. Be fruitful and multiply, and prosper in the earth. "

god said to Noah and his sons, "I will make a Covenant with you and your descendants, and with all the living creatures here, including birds, livestock and beasts, and all the living creatures that come out of the ark. I make a covenant with you, that all flesh will no longer be destroyed by floods, and there will be no more floods to destroy the land. "

Set up a rainbow to remember

God said, "The everlasting covenant I made with you and all the living creatures here is marked. I put the rainbow in the clouds as a sign of my Covenant with the earth. When I make the clouds cover the earth, there will be a rainbow in the clouds, so I will remember my Covenant with you and all living creatures, and the water will no longer overflow and destroy all living creatures. The rainbow will appear in the clouds, and when I see it, I will remember my everlasting Covenant with every living thing on the earth. " God said to Noah, "This is the sign of my Covenant with all flesh and blood on the earth."
