Genesis 6:5-22
Many, many years passed. After so much time, most of the people living on the earth chose not to care about God any more. They no longer taught their children to thank God. Over and over again they chose to hurt and lie and do wrong.
God looked at the people and grew very sad. He saw all the pain they had caused each other. He wished He had never created people with the rest of animals on earth. God decided He would take away the lives on earth which He had made.
At this time, when so many were bad, one man was different. His name was Noah. Noah often asked God's help and then obeyed Him. This pleased God.
God told Noah, "I am going to put an end to all people. I will cause a huge flood to cover the land and everyone will drown. But i will spare you and those you love. Build a big boat, and build it the way I say. Then fill it with two of every type of animal. Fill it with food. Then you will be safe."
Noah trusted God. God gave Noah the plan for making the boat which was called an ark.
