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.
