Noach


Chapter 06
(To Rashi Commentary)

Verse 9: This is the history of Noach. Noach was a righteous man, flawless in his generation; Noach walked with El-him.

Verse 10: Noach fathered three sons, Sheim, Cham and Yafes.

Verse 11: The earth was corrupt before El-him, and the earth was filled with violent crime.

Verse 12: El-him saw the earth and beheld that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its way on the earth.

Verse 13: El-him said to Noach, The end of all flesh has come before Me. The earth is filled with violent crime because of them, and so, I will destroy them with the earth.

Verse 14: Make for yourself an ark of cedar wood. Make the ark into compartments and caulk the inside and outside with tar.

Verse 15: This is how you should make it; the ark's length shall be three hundred amohs, its width fifty amohs and its height thirty amohs.

Verse 16: Make a skylight for the ark, and finish it to one amoh at the top. Place the opening of the ark in its side. Make a lower deck, a second and a third deck.

Verse 17: Behold I am bringing the flood waters on the earth, to destroy all flesh in which there is the breath of life, from under the heavens. Everything that is on the land will perish.

Verse 18: I will establish my covenant with you. You shall go into the ark, you, your sons, your wife and your son's wives, with you.

Verse 19: From all living things, from all flesh, two of each shall you bring to the ark, to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female.

Verse 20: From the birds of their kind, from the animals of their kind, from every creeping thing of the earth of its kind, two of each will come to you to be kept alive.

Verse 21: You shall take for yourself from all [the] foods that are eaten, and gather it to yourself, and it will be food for you and for them.

Verse 22: Noach did so. All that he was commanded by El-him, he did.
