Noah's Ark
Built to shelter eight people
Noah, his wife, Noah's three sons and their wives
Also built to shelter a male and a female
Of every land dwelling animal on earth
Dolphins, sharks, and puffer fish didn't need the ark
The ark was 750 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet tall
It was made of cypress wood and sealed with pitch
God wanted to wipe the wicked people from the face of the earth
The flood waters came from the sky and the earth
They covered all the mountains
The water was 20 feet above the highest mountain
From the beginning of the flood to dry land took about a year
40 days and 40 nights of rain
150 days of a flooded landless earth
The rest of time for the flood waters to dry up
Noah was 601 when he emerged from the ark
Noah was 950 when he died
God placed a rainbow in the sky as a covenant
That he would never destroy all of mankind again
