You shall make it with lower, second, and third stories. 17 And behold, I Myself am bringing a flood of waters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall die. 18 But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall go into the ark—you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you. 19 And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every kind into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female. 20 Of the birds after their kind, of animals after their kind, and of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind, two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive. 21 And you shall take for yourself of all food that is eaten, and you shall gather it to yourself; and it shall be food for you and for them. 22 Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.

• Exod 3:1-9 : 1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, to Horeb. 2 And the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, but the bush was not consumed. 3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush is not burned. 4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here I am. 5 And he said, Do not draw near here; take off your shoes from your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground. 6 Moreover he said, I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God. 7 And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows; 8 And I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good land and a large, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites. 9 Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come to me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. 10 Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring forth my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt. 11 And Moses said to God, Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt? 12 And he said, Certainly I will be with you; and this shall be a sign to you that I have sent you: When you have brought forth the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God upon this mountain. 13 And Moses said to God, Behold, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you; and they say to me, What is his name? what shall I say to them? 14 And God said to Moses, I AM WHO I AM. And he said, Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to you. 15 And God said moreover to Moses, Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you: this is my name forever, and this is my memorial to all generations. 16 Go, and gather the elders of Israel together and say to them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared to me, saying, I have surely visited you and seen what is done to you in Egypt: 17 And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey. 18 And they shall listen to your voice, and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you shall say to him, The LORD God of the Hebrews has met with us, and now let us go, we beseech you, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God. 19 And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand. 20 And I will stretch out my hand and strike Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof, and after that he will let you go. 21 And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and it shall come to pass that when you go, you shall not go empty: 22 But every woman shall borrow of her neighbor, and of her who sojourns in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing, and you shall put them upon your sons and upon your daughters; and you shall plunder the Egyptians.

But he said, I will not let you go, unless you bless me. 27 And he said to him, What is your name? And he said, Jacob. 28 And he said, Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince you have power with God and with men, and have prevailed. 29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray, your name. And he said, Why is it that you ask about my name? And he blessed him there. 30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
