1 And it came to pass, when men be­gan to mul­ti­ply on the face of the earth, and daugh­ters were born unto 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 shall not al­ways strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hun­dred and twen­ty years. 4 There 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. 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 re­pent­ed 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 re­pen­teth 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 gen­er­a­tions, and Noah walked with God. 10 And Noah be­gat 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 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. 14 Make thee an ark of go­pher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it with­in and with­out with pitch. 15 And 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. 16 A 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. 17 And, 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. 18 But 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. 19 And 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. 20 Of 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. 21 And 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. 22 Thus did Noah; ac­cord­ing to all that God com­mand­ed him, so did he.
