Telling Stories

ntent on a great project to renew the earth, God calls upon Noah, the one
man he can trust to carry out his plans. He starts by clearly explaining the

problem at hand:

And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me;
for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I
will destroy them with the earth.

A forceful and concise communicator, God then details what he wants done

in the first phase of the project:

Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the
ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of
the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits,
and the height of it thirty cubits.

A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou
finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side
thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.

Having explained the basic requirements of the ark, God moves on to the

main processes of phase two of the project, beginning with his own action
items:

And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth,
to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under
heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.

Genesis 6:13 (King James).
