Genesis 6:17 in Context — Genesis 6
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.
19 De tout ce qui vit, de toute chair, tu feras entrer dans l’arche deux de chaque espèce, pour les conserver en vie avec toi: il y aura un mâle et une femelle.
