6When people began to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters were born to them,H120H2490H7231H5921H6440H127H1323H32052the sons of God saw that they were fair; and they took wives for themselves of all that they chose.H1121H430H7200H1323H120H2007H2896H3947H802H9773Then the LORD said, "My spirit shall not abide in mortals forever, for they are flesh; their days shall be one hundred twenty years."H3068H559H7307H5769H1777H120H1571H1320H7683H3117H3967H6242H81414The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went in to the daughters of humans, who bore children to them. These were the heroes that were of old, warriors of renown.H5303H776H3117H310H3651H834H1121H430H935H1323H120H3205H1992H1368H5769H582H80345The LORD saw that the wickedness of humankind was great in the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually.H3068H7200H7451H120H7227H776H3336H4284H3820H7535H7451H31176And the LORD was sorry that he had made humankind on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart.H5162H3068H6213H120H776H6087H413H38207So the LORD said, "I will blot out from the earth the human beings I have created—people together with animals and creeping things and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them."H3068H559H4229H120H1254H6440H127H120H5704H929H7431H5775H8064H5162H62138But Noah found favor in the sight of the LORD.H5146H4672H2580H5869H3068
Noah Pleases God
9These are the descendants of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation; Noah walked with God.H8435H5146H5146H6662H376H8549H1755H5146H1980H43010And Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.H5146H3205H7969H1121H8035H2526H331511Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight, and the earth was filled with violence.H776H7843H6440H430H776H4390H255512And God saw that the earth was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon the earth.H430H7200H776H7843H1320H7843H1870H77613And God said to Noah, "I have determined to make an end of all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence because of them; now I am going to destroy them along with the earth.H430H559H5146H7093H1320H935H6440H776H4390H2555H6440H7843H854H77614Make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and out with pitch.H6213H8392H1613H6086H7064H6213H854H8392H3722H1004H2351H372415This is how you are to make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.H6213H753H8392H7969H3967H520H7341H2572H520H6967H7970H52016Make a roof for the ark, and finish it to a cubit above; and put the door of the ark in its side; make it with lower, second, and third decks.H6672H6213H8392H520H3615H4605H6607H8392H7760H6654H8482H8145H7992H621317For my part, I am going to bring a flood of waters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall die.H2009H589H935H3999H4325H776H7843H1320H7307H2416H8478H8064H3605H776H147818But I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall come into the ark, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you.H6965H1285H935H413H8392H859H1121H802H1121H80219And 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.H2416H1320H8147H935H8392H2421H2145H534720Of the birds according to their kinds, and of the animals according to their kinds, of every creeping thing of the ground according to its kind, two of every kind shall come in to you, to keep them alive.H5775H4327H929H4327H7431H127H4327H8147H935H242121Also take with you every kind of food that is eaten, and store it up; and it shall serve as food for you and for them."H3947H3978H398H622H40222Noah did this; he did all that God commanded him.H6213H5146H430H6680H6213
