1And
it came to
pass, when
men began to
multiply on
the face of
the earth,
and
daughters
were born
unto them,
2That
the sons of
God saw the
daughters of
men that
they were fair;
and they
took them
wives of all
which they
chose.
3And
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.
4There
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.
5And
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.
6And
it repented
the LORD
that he had
made man on
the earth,
and it
grieved him
at his
heart.
7And
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.
8But
Noah found
grace in the
eyes of the
LORD.
9These are the
generations
of Noah:
Noah was a
just man and perfect
in his
generations, and Noah
walked with
God.
10And
Noah begat
three sons,
Shem, Ham,
and Japheth.
11The
earth also
was corrupt
before God,
and the
earth was
filled with
violence.
12And
God looked
upon the
earth, and,
behold, it
was corrupt;
for all
flesh had
corrupted
his way upon
the earth.
13And
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.
14Make
thee an ark
of gopher
wood; rooms
shalt thou
make in the
ark, and
shalt pitch
it within
and without
with pitch.
15And
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.
16A
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.
17And,
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.
18But
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.
19And
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.
20Of
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.
21And
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.
22Thus
did Noah;
according to
all that God
commanded
him, so did
he.
