God is sorrowful about the great wickedness and violence in all the people on the earth. He tells Noah, who is righteous and walked with God, that He will destroy the people and the earth with a flood. God gives Noah plans to build an ark and be saved. Noah does everything God tells him to do. Building the ark takes about 100 years when Noah was about age 500 and 600 years old. Gen. 6:3-22; 5:32; 7:6

God tells Noah and the animals to go into the ark. After seven days, God shuts them in. Genesis 7:7, 10, 16

The underground waters burst forth and the rain falls 40 days and nights covering the ground. Noah, his three sons, and their wives are safe in the ark along with every kind of animal and bird. Genesis 7:11

After the rain ends, the water covers all the land and even mountains. The ark floats safely high above the ground. Even the highest mountains are under more than 20 feet (nearly 7 meters) of flood waters. Nothing is left alive anywhere on earth, except for Noah and those in the ark. The water covers the earth for 150 days. Then God sends a wind to blow across the waters and the waters begin to recede. Genesis 7:178:1

God does not forget Noah, his family, and the animals in the ark. He makes the water continue to go down. On the 17th day of the 7th month of the year, the ark rests in the Ararat mountains, five months from the time the flood began. Genesis 8:1-4

The water lowers. The mountain tops can be seen on the first day of the 10th month, two and a half months later. After 40 days, Noah checks the water. Genesis 8:5, 6

Noah sends a raven out of a window. Then he sends a dove every seven days. At last it brings an olive leaf; and finally it doesnt return. Genesis 8:6-12

Noah was 600 years old when the rain began. Now he is age 601 on the first day of the year. Noah wonders if the land is dry. Genesis 7:11; 8:13

Noah opens the ark roof and sees that the earth is almost dry. By the 27th day of the second month, the earth is completely dry. God tells Noah that they can leave the ark and the animals can go, reproduce, and live all over the earth. Genesis 8:13-19

Noah builds an altar and offers some of every clean animal and bird sacrifices pleasing to the L ORD . The rainbow is a sign of Gods promise to never again destroy all creatures with a flood. Genesis. 8:209:17

• The ark was as long as one and a half football fields put end to end.
• It was probably the biggest ship ever until the 1800s.
• It was as high as a four-story building.
• The dimensions were 6 to 1, considered stable ship dimensions today.
• Many widely-different ark reconstructions have been made over the centuries.

The World Then and Gods Reaction The people in Noahs day were very wicked and their thoughts were only evil all the time. The earth was corrupt in Gods sight and full of violence. The L ORD was grieved that he had made people on earth and his heart was filled with pain. Genesis 6:5-7

Gods Plan The L ORD said he would wipe out mankind, who he had created, from the face of the earth. This included people and creatures on the ground and in the air. The L ORD did this because he was grieved. Only one person, Noah found favor in the eyes of the L ORD . Genesis 6:1-13

Noah Noah was the son of Lamech who was 182 years old when Noah was born and lived 595 years after that, according to the genealogy from Adam to Noah. Noah became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth after he was 500 years old. Genesis 5
