And it came to pass, when men[H120]began[H2490] to multiply[H7231]on[H5921] the face[H6440] of the earth[H127], and daughters[H1323] were born[H3205] unto them,
2
That the sons[H1121] of God[H430]saw[H7200] the daughters[H1323] of men[H120] that they[H2007] were fair[H2896]; and they[H2007]took[H3947] them wives[H802] of all which they[H2007]chose[H977].
3
And the LORD[H3068]said[H559], My spirit[H7307] shall not always[H5769]strive[H1777] with man[H120], for that he also[H1571] is flesh[H1320]: yet his days[H3117] shall be an hundred[H3967] and twenty[H6242]years[H8141].
4
There were giants[H5303]in[H935] the earth[H776]in[H935] those days[H3117]; and also after[H310]that[H3651], when[H834] the sons[H1121] of God[H430] came in[H935] unto the daughters[H1323] of men[H120], and they bare[H3205] children to them, the same[H1992] became mighty men[H1368] which were of old[H5769], men[H582] of renown[H8034].
5
And GOD[H3068]saw[H7200] that the wickedness[H7451] of man[H120] was great[H7227] in the earth[H776], and that every imagination[H3336] of the thoughts[H4284] of his heart[H3820] was only[H7535]evil[H7451]continually[H3117].
6
And it repented[H5162] the LORD[H3068] that he had made[H6213]man[H120] on the earth[H776], and it grieved[H6087] him at[H413] his heart[H3820].
7And[H5704] the LORD[H3068]said[H559], I will destroy[H4229]man[H120] whom I have created[H1254] from the face[H6440] of the earth[H127]; both man[H120], and[H5704]beast[H929], and[H5704] the creeping thing[H7431], and[H5704] the fowls[H5775] of the air[H8064]; for it repenteth[H5162] me that I have made[H6213] them.
8
But Noah[H5146]found[H4672]grace[H2580] in the eyes[H5869] of the LORD[H3068].
9
These are the generations[H8435] of Noah[H5146]: Noah[H5146] was a just[H6662]man[H376] and perfect[H8549] in his generations[H1755], and Noah[H5146]walked[H1980] with God[H430].
10
And Noah[H5146]begat[H3205]three[H7969]sons[H1121], Shem[H8035], Ham[H2526], and Japheth[H3315].
11
The earth[H776] also was corrupt[H7843]before[H6440]God[H430], and the earth[H776] was filled[H4390] with violence[H2555].
12
And God[H430]looked[H7200] upon the earth[H776], and, behold, it was corrupt[H7843]; for all flesh[H1320] had corrupted[H7843] his way[H1870] upon the earth[H776].
13
And God[H430]said[H559] unto Noah[H5146], The end[H7093] of all flesh[H1320] is come[H935] before me[H6440]; for the earth[H776] is filled with[H4390]violence[H2555] through them[H6440]; and, behold, I will destroy[H7843]them[H6440]with[H854] the earth[H776].
14Make[H6213] thee an ark[H8392] of gopher[H1613]wood[H6086]; rooms[H7064] shalt thou make[H6213]in[H854] the ark[H8392], and shalt pitch[H3722] it within[H1004] and without[H2351] with pitch[H3724].
15
And this is the fashion which thou shalt make[H6213] it of: The length[H753] of the ark[H8392] shall be three[H7969]hundred[H3967]cubits[H520], the breadth[H7341] of it fifty[H2572]cubits[H520], and the height[H6967] of it thirty[H7970]cubits[H520].
16
A window[H6672] shalt thou make[H6213] to the ark[H8392], and in a cubit[H520] shalt thou finish[H3615] it above[H4605]; and the door[H6607] of the ark[H8392] shalt thou set[H7760] in the side thereof[H6654]; with lower[H8482], second[H8145], and third[H7992] stories shalt thou make[H6213] it.
17
And, behold[H2009], I[H589], even I[H589], do bring[H935] a flood[H3999] of waters[H4325] upon the earth[H776], to destroy[H7843] all flesh[H1320], wherein is the breath[H7307] of life[H2416], from under[H8478]heaven[H8064]; and every thing[H3605] that is in the earth[H776] shall die[H1478].
18
But with thee will I establish[H6965] my covenant[H1285]; and thou[H859] shalt come[H935]into[H413] the ark[H8392], thou[H859], and thy sons[H1121], and thy wife[H802], and thy sons[H1121]' wives[H802] with thee.
19
And of every living thing[H2416] of all flesh[H1320], two[H8147] of every sort shalt thou bring[H935] into the ark[H8392], to keep them alive[H2421] with thee; they shall be male[H2145] and female[H5347].
20
Of fowls[H5775] after their kind[H4327], and of cattle[H929] after their kind[H4327], of every creeping thing[H7431] of the earth[H127] after his kind[H4327], two[H8147] of every sort shall come[H935] unto thee, to keep them alive[H2421].
21
And take[H3947] thou unto thee of all food[H3978] that is eaten[H398], and thou shalt gather[H622] it to thee; and it shall be for food[H402] for thee, and for them.
22
Thus did[H6213]Noah[H5146]; according to all that God[H430]commanded[H6680] him, so did[H6213] he.
