'Ark' in the Bible

So make yourself an ark out of cedar, constructing compartments in it, and cover it inside and out with tar.

Make the ark like this: 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high.

Make a roof for the ark, and finish the walls to within one cubit from the top. Place the entrance in the side of the ark, and build a lower, a middle, and an upper deck.

However, I will establish my own covenant with you, and you are to enter the ark you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives.

You are to bring two of every living thing into the ark so they may remain alive with you. They are to be male and female.

Then the LORD told Noah, "Come you and all your household into the ark, because I've seen that you alone are righteous in this generation.

Noah, his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives entered the ark with him before the flood waters arrived.

two by two, male and female, they entered the ark to join Noah, just as God had commanded.

On that very day, Noah entered the ark with his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, Noah's wife, his sons' three wives with them,

Two of each living creature entered the ark with Noah.

The males and females of each living creature entered the ark, just as God had commanded. Then the LORD sealed them inside.

The flood continued throughout the earth for 40 days, while the flood waters increased, lifting the ark so that it rose above the surface of the earth.

The flood waters continued to surge, increasing throughout the earth, while the ark floated on the surface of the flood water.

All existing creatures that had lived on the surface of the ground were annihilated, from humans to livestock, from crawling creatures to birds of the sky. They were wiped off the earth. Only Noah remained, along with those who were with him in the ark.

God kept Noah in mind, along with all the wildlife and livestock that were with him in the ark. God's Spirit moved throughout the earth, causing the flood waters to subside.

The ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat on the seventeenth day of the seventh month.

After 40 days, Noah opened the window of the ark that he had built

Later, he sent a dove out from the ark to see whether the water that covered the land's surface had completely receded,

but the dove could not yet find a place to rest, so it returned to Noah on the ark, since water still covered the land. Noah reached out his hand and took the dove back into the ark with him.

Noah waited another seven days and sent the dove out from the ark again.

"It's time for you, your wife, your sons, and your sons' wives who are with you to leave the ark.

Every animal, every crawling thing, every flying creature, and everything that moves on the earth emerged from the ark by groups.

and with every living creature that is with you the flying creatures, the livestock, and all the wildlife of the earth that are with you all the earth's animals that came out of the ark.

Noah's sons who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham later fathered Canaan.)
