Rishon
- Who is Noach?
- Noach was a Tzadik, a pure man in his generation.
- Noach had three children, Shem, Cham and Yafes.
- The depravity of the world:
- The world became depraved before G-d, and was filled with corruption. Hashem took notice of this, as all the creations perverted their nature on the earth.
- Hashem told Noach that He has become fed up with the corruption of the world and that it will have to be destroyed.
- Hashem instructs Noach to build a Teiva/Ark:
- Hashem instructs Noach to build a wooden ark that is covered in tar. These instructions include the following:
- The Teiva is to be 300 cubits [144 meters] long, 50 cubits wide [24 meters] and 30 cubits tall [14 meters].
- The Teiva is to have a Tzohar [window] and is to be constructed with a pitched roof.
- It is to have three stories.
- Hashem said to Noach: The world will be flooded and all its creatures destroyed. I will make my covenant with you, and you and your wife and children and their families will survive on the Teiva. You are to enter into the Teiva a male and female creature of every species, animals, birds and insects. Gather food and store it in the Teiva.
- Noach followed the instructions of G-d in detail.
