|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 1
|
||
|
|
Now it happened, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 2
|
||
|
|
that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were good _in appearance_; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 3
|
||
|

Then Yahweh said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever because he indeed is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be 120 years."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 4
|
||
|
|
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore _children_ to them. Those were the mighty men who _were_ of old, men of renown.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 5
|
||
|
|
Then Yahweh saw that the evil of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 6
|
||
|
|
And Yahweh regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 7
|
||
|
|
And Yahweh said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I regret that I have made them."
|
||
|
|
|

## The Generations of Noah
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 9
|
||
|
|
These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among _those in_ his generations; Noah walked with God.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 10
|
||
|
|
And Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 11
|
||
|
|
Now the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 12
|
||
|
|
And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 13
|
||
|
|
Then God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 14
|
||
|
|
Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood; you shall make the ark with rooms, and you shall cover it inside and out with pitch.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 15
|
||
|
|
Now this is how you shall make it: the length of the ark 300 cubits, its breadth 50 cubits, and its height 30 cubits.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 16
|
||
|
|
You shall make a window for the ark, and complete it to one cubit from the top; and set the door of the ark in the side of it; you shall make it with lower, second, and third decks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 17
|
||
|
|
As for Me, behold I am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall breathe its last.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 18
|
||
|
|
But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall enter the ark--you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 19
|
||
|
|
And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every _kind_ into the ark, to keep _them_ alive with you; they shall be male and female.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 20
|
||
|
|
Of the birds after their kind, and of the animals after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every _kind_ will come to you to keep _them_ alive.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 21
|
||
|
|
As for you, take for yourself some of all food which is edible, and gather _it_ to yourself; and it shall be for food for you and for them."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 22
|
||
|
|
Thus Noah did; according to all that God had commanded him, so he did.
