Genesis 6:16 in Context — Genesis 6
14 Fais-toi une arche de bois de gopher; tu disposeras cette arche en cellules, et tu l’enduiras de poix en dedans et en dehors.
15 Voici comment tu la feras: l’arche aura trois cents coudées de longueur, cinquante coudées de largeur et trente coudées de hauteur.
16 Tu feras à l’arche une fenêtre, que tu réduiras à une coudée en haut; tu établiras une porte sur le côté de l’arche; et tu construiras un étage inférieur, un second et un troisième.
17 Et moi, je vais faire venir le déluge d’eaux sur la terre, pour détruire toute chair ayant souffle de vie sous le ciel; tout ce qui est sur la terre périra.
18 Mais j’établis mon alliance avec toi; tu entreras dans l’arche, toi et tes fils, ta femme et les femmes de tes fils avec toi.
