Genesis

Gen
6:1 It happened, when men began to multiply on the surface of the
ground, and daughters were born to them,
Gen
6:2 that God's sons saw that men's daughters were beautiful, and
they took for themselves wives of all that they chose.
Gen
6:3 Yahweh said, "My Spirit will not strive with man forever,
because he also is flesh; yet will his days be one hundred twenty
years."
Gen
6:4 The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after
that, when God's sons came in to men's daughters. They bore children
to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
Gen
6:5 Yahweh 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.
Gen
6:6 Yahweh was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it
grieved him in his heart.
Gen
6:7 Yahweh said, "I will destroy man whom I have created from
the surface of the ground; man, along with animals, creeping things,
and birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them."
Gen
6:8 But Noah found favor in Yahweh's eyes.
Gen
6:9 This is the history of the generations of Noah. Noah was a
righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked
with God.
Gen
6:10 Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Gen
6:11 The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with
violence.
Gen
6:12 God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh
had corrupted their way on the earth.
Gen
6:13 God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before
me, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I
will destroy them with the earth.
Gen
6:14 Make a ship of gopher wood. You shall make rooms in the ship,
and shall seal it inside and outside with pitch.
Gen
6:15 This is how you shall make it. The length of the ship will be
three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty
cubits.
Gen
6:16 You shall make a roof in the ship, and you shall finish it to a
cubit upward. You shall set the door of the ship in its side. You
shall make it with lower, second, and third levels.
Gen
6:17 I, even I, do bring the flood of waters on this earth, to
destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky.
Everything that is in the earth will die.
Gen
6:18 But I will establish my covenant with you. You shall come into
the ship, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you.
Gen
6:19 Of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of
every sort into the ship, to keep them alive with you. They shall be
male and female.
Gen
6:20 Of the birds after their kind, of the livestock after their
kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of
every sort shall come to you, to keep them alive.
Gen
6:21 Take with you of all food that is eaten, and gather it to
yourself; and it will be for food for you, and for them."
Gen
6:22 Thus Noah did. According to all that God commanded him, so he
did.
