A regular show hosted by #GregStafford with new videos uploaded or premiering most weekdays and Saturdays, followed by a separate Sunday show.

This show is about Genesis 6:13-18 from translations of both the Hebrew (H) and Greek (G) texts:

(H) 6:13 Then God began to say to Noah: “The end of all humankind has come in front of my face, for the earth has become filled with error because of the people on its surface. So, behold! I am removing them from the earth.
(G) 6:13 And God said to Noe: “A determined time for all mankind comes before me, since the earth is filled with moral failures because of them. So, look! I am destroying them and the earth.

(H) 6:14 Build for yourself a box-vessel of wood that is carefully cut; rooms you will build in the box-vessel; and you must have it covered with waterproof material to serve as a house and as a deck.
(G) 6:14 Therefore, you must make for yourself a wooden box craft out of trees with tight-fitting edges [or, ‘four-corner-cut trees’]; you will make the wooden box craft with different areas, and you will waterproof it inside and outside with bitumen [or, ‘asphalt’].

(H) 6:15 Now this is the way you are to put it together: In length the box-vessel is to be three hundred cubits [a cubit = 18 to 21 inches, so “between 450 and 525 feet”]; its width is to be fifty cubits [or, “between 75 and 87.5 feet”]; and its height is to be thirty cubits [or, “between 45 and 52.5 feet”].
(G) 6:15 And this is how you will make the wooden box craft: three hundred cubits [a cubit = 18 to 21 inches, so “between 450 and 525 feet”] the length of the wooden box craft, fifty cubits [or, “between 75 and 87.5 feet”] the width, thirty cubits [or, “between 45 and 52.5 feet”] the height of it.

(H) 6:16 You will put together an upper opening, which you will complete the size of a cubit [or, “between 18 and 21 inches”] for exiting upward, and you will put an opening for the box-vessel in its side, openings lower than the first one, and openings lower than the second ones you will make for it.
(G) 6:16 Bringing it together, you will make the wooden box craft also to a cubit [or, “between 18 and 21 inches”] at the top, where you will complete it. But the door of the wooden box craft you will make out of its side, two levels below this and three total levels you will make for it.

(H) 6:17 Now, behold! I am bringing in the flood waters upon the earth to destroy all that is flesh from under the sky heavens in which there is air [or, ‘spirit’] of life. All that is in the earth will die.
(G) 6:17 Now, look! I am bringing the cataclysmic water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which there is a spirit of life under the heavens, and as many things as there may be upon the earth will come to an end.

(H) 6:18 But I have set my agreement [or, ‘covenant’] with you, after you have entered into the box-vessel, you and your sons, and your woman and the women belonging to your sons with you.
(G) 6:18 I will set up my agreement [or, ‘covenant’] with you, and you will enter into the wooden box craft, you and your sons, and your woman and the women of your sons with you.”
