1 And GOD called Noe on the mountain of Ararat, between Assyria, and Armenia, in the land of Arabia, by the sea, and said to him: “Make there an ark of 300 ells in length, and in breadth 50 ells, and in height 30, and two stories in the midst, and the doors about an ell. 2. And of those 300 ells, and of ours 15,000, and so of those 50, and of ours 2000 and 900, and so of those 30, and of ours 900, and of those one ell, and of ours 50.” 3. According to this number the Jews keep this measure of the ark of Noe, as the Lord said to him, and (so) they make each measure, and each rule even up to the present time. 4. The Lord GOD opened the doors of the heavens, and rain came on the earth 150 days, and all flesh died. 5. Noe was in the 500th year and begat three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japhet. 6. 100 years after the birth of his three sons, he went into the ark in the month according to the Hebrew Itsars, according to the Egyptian Famenoth in eighteen days. 7. And the ark floated forty days. And altogether they were in the ark 120 days. 8. And he went into the ark, being 600 years (old), and in the sixth hundred and first year of his life he went out of the ark in the month Farmut according to the Egyptians, and according to the Hebrews Nisan about twenty-eight days. 9. Then he lived 250 years, and died; he lived altogether 950 years according (to the will of) the Lord our GOD, to Him be glory from the beginning, and now, and to the end of the world. Amen. 10. Enoch was altogether 365 years old. 11. In another way it is written here concerning Noah’s ark. Of their 300 ells, and of ours 15,000, of theirs 100, and of ours 5000: of theirs 20, and of ours 1000; of theirs 10, and of ours 500; of theirs 5, and of ours 250: of theirs 1, and of ours 50! This is the truth spoken.
