About Genesis 6

As humanity multiplies, so does its corruption, until every intent of the human heart is only evil continually and God determines to cleanse the earth with a flood. Noah alone finds grace in God's eyes and receives exact instructions for the ark — dimensions, materials, and passengers — that will carry his family and every kind of creature through the coming judgment.
