And it
came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and
daughters were born to them, 2 that
the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took
them wives of all which they chose. 3 And the Lord
said,
“My Spirit will not always strive
with man, for that he is also flesh; yet his days will be a hundred and twenty
(120) years.”
4 There were
giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God
came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them, the same
became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the
earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil
continually. 6 And it
regretted the Lord that He had
made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart. 7 And the Lord said,
“I will destroy man whom I
have created from the face of the earth, both man, and beast, and the creeping
thing, and the fowls of the air, for it regrets Me that I have made
them.”
8 But Noah
found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
9 These are the generations of Noah:
Noah was
a just man and perfect in his generation, and Noah walked with God. 10 And Noah fathered three sons:
Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth
was filled with violence. 12 And
God looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had
corrupted his way upon the earth.
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 with the earth. 14 Make for yourself an ark of
gopher wood; with rooms will you make in the ark, and will cover it within and
outside with pitch. 15 And
this is the fashion which you will make of it: The length of the ark will be
three hundred (300) cubits, the breadth of it fifty (50) cubits, and the height
of it thirty (30) cubits. 16 A
window will you make to the ark, and in a cubit will you finish it above; and
the door of the ark will you set in the side thereof, with lower, second, and
third stories will you make it. 17
And behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters
upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, in which is the breath of life, from
under heaven; and everything that is in the earth will die. 18 But with you, I will establish
my covenant; and you must come into the ark, you, and your sons, and your wife,
and your sons' wives with you. 19 And
of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort will you bring into the
ark, to keep them alive with you; they must be male and female. 20 Of fowls after their kind, and
of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after its
kind, two of every sort will come to you, to keep them alive. 21 And you take for yourselves
of all food that is eaten, and you will gather them to yourself; and these will
be for food for you, and for them.”
22 Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him,
so he did.
