After the boat was ready, God said it was going to rain soon. God told Noah to gather two of every kind of animal and take them all with him on the ark. Noah, his family and the animals went into the ark. God shut the door.
Soon after, the rain started to pour heavily. It rained for a long time. After forty days and nights the earth was under water but the ark floated.
Finally, the rain stopped. Everyone in the world drowned except for the people and animals on the ark. Noah and his family waited for a long time for the water to go down.
At last, the ark rested on top of a mountain. After the water had dried, Noah opened the door. The people and animals ran out happily. Noah thanked God. God was very glad. God promised never to flood the earth again. To remind people of his promise, God set a beautiful rainbow in the sky.
( Genesis 6 - 9 )
