This is how you are to make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.

The waters swelled so mightily on the earth that all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered;

and in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

You cover it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.

Truly the hills are a delusion, the orgies on the mountains. Truly in the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel.
