Genesis 6:1-22
Adam and Eve had children, and their children had children. After a while there were many people everywhere. But they did not love and obey God. They hurt other people and did not follow God’s rules. God was sorry He had made them.
There was one person left who loved God. His name was Noah. Noah did what was right. God told Noah that He was going to send a flood to cover the whole world.
“Make a big boat,” God told Noah. The boat was called an ark. Noah and his family would be safe in the ark when the flood came.
Noah and his family obeyed God. They worked hard to build the ark. They worked hard to gather lots of food. After a long time, the ark was ready. Noah and his family were ready.
