## The Nephilim and the Daughters of Men 

###### 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." 

###### 8
But Noah found favor in the eyes of Yahweh. 

## 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.
