21 Also take with you every sort of food that is eaten, and store it up. 20 Of the birds according to their kinds, and of the animals according to their kinds, of every creeping thing of the ground, according to its kind, two of every sort shall come in to you to keep them alive. 19 And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ark to keep them alive with you. 18 But I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall come into the ark, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you. Everything that is on the earth shall die.

17 For behold, I will bring a flood of waters upon the earth to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven. Make it with lower, second, and third decks. 16 Make a roof for the ark, and finish it to a cubit above, and set the door of the ark in its side. 15 This is how you are to make it: the length of the ark 300 cubits, its breadth 50 cubits, and its height 30 cubits. Make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and out with pitch. Behold, I will destroy them with the earth. 13 And God said to Noah, “I have determined to make an end of all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. 12 And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. 10 And Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.ġ1 Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight, and the earth was filled with violence. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation. Noah and the Floodĩ These are the generations of Noah. 7 So the Lord said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.

6 And the Lord was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. Here is a passage of Scripture from Genesis 6 that may be applicable to Rama:ĥ The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. There may be some better story tellers, but no one has a better command of the English language. No other SF author I have read writes as well as Clarke. In the SF genre, Clarke is THE Master Craftsman when it comes to writing riveting prose. Clarke, is a delightful feast of mystery, drama and realistic science.
