Summary
Genesis 6:12-16

6:12. When God had seen that the earth was corrupted (for all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth),

6:13. He said to Noah: The end of all flesh is come before me, the earth is filled with iniquity through them, and I will destroy them with the earth.

6:14. Make an ark of gopher wood: you shall make little rooms in the ark, and you shall pitch it within and without.

'''6:15. Thus shall you make it. The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits: the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.'''

Three hundred cubits, etc. . .The ark, according to the dimensions here set down, contained four hundred and fifty thousand square cubits; which was more than enough to contain all the kinds of living creatures, with all necessary provisions: even supposing the cubits here spoken of to have been only a foot and a half each, which was the least kind of cubits.

6:16. You shall make a window in the ark, and in a cubit shall you finish the top of it: and the door of the ark you shall set in the side: with lower, middle chambers, and third stories shall you make it.
