Genesis 6
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.
