And it came to pass, when men began
to multiply
on
the face
of the earth
, and daughters
were born
unto them,
That the sons of God
saw
the daughters
of men
that they
were fair
; and they took
them wives
of all which they chose
.
And the LORD said
, My spirit
shall not always
strive
with man
, for that he also
is flesh
: yet his days
shall be an hundred
and twenty
years
.
There were giants in the earth
in those days
; and also after
that
, when
the sons
of God
came in
unto the daughters
of men
, and they bare
children to them, the same
became mighty men
which were of old
, men
of renown
.
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
.
And it repented the LORD
that he had made
man
on the earth
, and it grieved
him at
his heart
.
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 repenteth
me that I have made
them.
But Noah found
grace
in the eyes
of the LORD
.
These are the generations of Noah
: Noah
was a just
man
and perfect
in his generations
, and Noah
walked
with God
.
And Noah begat
three
sons
, Shem
, Ham
, and Japheth
.
The earth also was corrupt
before
God
, and the earth
was filled
with violence
.
And God looked
upon the earth
, and, behold, it was corrupt
; for all flesh
had corrupted
his way
upon the earth
.
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
.
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.
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
.
But with thee will I establish my covenant
; and thou shalt come
into
the ark
, thou
, and thy sons
, and thy wife
, and thy sons
' wives
with thee.
And of every living thing of all flesh
, two
of every sort shalt thou bring
into the ark
, to keep them alive
with thee; they shall be male
and female
.
Of fowls after their kind
, and of cattle
after their kind
, of every creeping thing
of the earth
after his kind
, two
of every sort shall come
unto thee, to keep them alive
.
And take thou unto thee of all food
that is eaten
, and thou shalt gather
it to thee; and it shall be for food
for thee, and for them.
Thus did Noah
; according to all that God
commanded
him, so did
he.
