Genesis 6:13-22 NWT
13 After that God said to Noah: "The end of all flesh has come before me, because the earth is full of violence as a result of them; and here I am bringing them to ruin together with the earth. 14 Make for yourself an ark out of wood of a resinous tree. You will make compartments in the ark, and you must cover it inside and outside with tar. 15 And this is how you will make it: three hundred cubits the length of the ark, fifty cubits its width, and thirty cubits its height. 16 You will make a tso'har [roof; or, window] for the ark, and you will complete it to the extent of a cubit upward, and the entrance of the ark you will put in its side; you will make it with a lower [story], a second [story] and a third [story]. 17 "And as for me, here I am bringing the deluge of waters upon the earth to bring to ruin all flesh in which the force of life is active from under the heavens. Everything that is in the earth will expire. 18 And I do establish my covenant with you; and you must go into the ark, you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you. 19 And of every living creature of every sort of flesh, two of each, you will bring into the ark to preserve them alive with you. Male and female they will be. 20 Of the flying creatures according to their kinds and of the domestic animals according to their kinds, of all moving animals of the ground according to their kinds, two of each will go in there to you to preserve them alive. 21 And as for you, take for yourself every sort of food that is eaten; and you must gather it to yourself, and it must serve as food for you and for them." 22 And Noah proceeded to do according to all that God had commanded him. He did just so.

Genesis 6:13-22 CEV
(13) So he told Noah: Cruelty and violence have spread everywhere. Now I'm going to destroy the whole earth and all its people. (14) Get some good lumber and build a boat. Put rooms in it and cover it with tar inside and out. (15) Make it four hundred fifty feet long, seventy-five feet wide, and forty-five feet high. (16) Build a roof on the boat and leave a space of about eighteen inches between the roof and the sides. Make the boat three stories high and put a door on one side. (17) I'm going to send a flood that will destroy everything that breathes! Nothing will be left alive. (18) But I solemnly promise that you, your wife, your sons, and your daughters-in-law will be kept safe in the boat. (19) Bring into the boat with you a male and a female of every kind of animal and bird, as well as a male and a female of every reptile. I don't want them to be destroyed. (20) (SEE 6:19) (21) Store up enough food both for yourself and for them. (22) Noah did everything the LORD told him to do.

Genesis 6:13-22 LITV
(13) And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them. And behold, I will destroy them along with the earth. (14) Make an ark of cyprus timbers for yourself. You shall make rooms in the ark; and you shall cover it with asphalt inside and out. (15) And you shall make it this way: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits. (16) You shall make a window in the ark, and you shall finish it above to a cubit. And you shall set the door of the ark in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third stories. (17) And behold, I, even I, am bringing a flood of waters on the earth in order to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life from under the heavens. Everything which is on the earth shall die. (18) And I will establish My covenant with you. And you shall come into the ark, you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you. (19) And you shall bring into the ark two of every kind, of every living thing of all flesh, to keep alive with you; they shall be male and female; (20) from the birds according to its kind, and from the cattle according to its kind, from every creeping thing of the ground according to its kind. Two from each shall come in to you to keep alive. (21) And take for yourself all food that is eaten, and gather to yourself. And let it be for you and for them for food. (22) And Noah did so, according to all that God commanded him, so he did.

Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
