Let's look at Genesis 6:
13-16 (Remember Genesis is the first book in the Bible. The word Genesis
means 'beginning.')
Genesis
6:13-16 "And God said to Noah, “The end of all
flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them;
and behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Make yourself an ark of
gopherwood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.
And this is how you shall make it: The length of the ark shall be three
hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits. You
shall make a window for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above;
and set the door of the ark in its side. You shall make it with lower,
second, and third decks."
Do you
remember why Adam and Eve had to leave that wonderful garden God made for
them? They both sinned or disobeyed God. They had to be punished
just like we are punished by our parents today. God put them out of the
garden for their sin. The sins did not stop with that punishment.
Their son, Cain, killed his own brother Abel. People continued to do wrong
things until they were so bad that God was sad. He found one
good, obedient man. His name was Noah. God gave Noah some
instructions to follow. Noah obeyed those directions and because of
that, God took care of Noah and his family! In the next few lessons
we'll find out more about that.
In the instructions, God told Noah to make an ark.
That ark was like a boat. There was a certain way Noah was to make
the ark. He could only use gopher wood and he had to make it just the
right size. There was supposed to be one window and one door.
There were rooms inside and three different levels. That was one
big boat!
