Noah and the Flood

               The descendents of Adam and Eve lived all over the world. But God saw that the people had become wicked and  he decided to destroy every human being and living creature he had created. Only one man and family were good the  man was Noah. God told Noah to build a great ship or ark. The ship was made of cypress wood. It was covered with pitch inside and out to make it waterproof. There were three  decks, which were divided into small rooms. A row of windows  ran around the top of the ship. God said to Noah his wife their three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth and their wives went to get into the ark. They also had to take with them a male and  female pair of every kind of animal and bird. God told Noah that he would never again destroy everything in the world by a flood. A rainbow would be a sign to remind people of this  promise.
