Genesis 6
6WHEN MEN began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them,H120H2490H7231H5921H6440H127H1323H32052The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair, and they took wives of all they desired {and} chose.H1121H430H7200H1323H120H2007H2896H3947H802H9773Then the Lord said, My Spirit shall not forever dwell {and} strive with man, for he also is flesh; but his days shall yet be 120 years.H3068H559H7307H5769H1777H120H1571H1320H7683H3117H3967H6242H81414There were giants on the earth in those days--and also afterward--when the sons of God lived with the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.H5303H776H3117H310H3651H834H1121H430H935H1323H120H3205H1992H1368H5769H582H80345The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination {and} intention of all human thinking was only evil continually.H3068H7200H7451H120H7227H776H3336H4284H3820H7535H7451H31176And the Lord regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved at heart.H5162H3068H6213H120H776H6087H413H38207So the Lord said, I will destroy, blot out, {and} wipe away mankind, whom I have created from the face of the ground--not only man, [but] the beasts and the creeping things and the birds of the air--for it grieves Me {and} makes Me regretful that I have made them.H3068H559H4229H120H1254H6440H127H120H5704H929H7431H5775H8064H5162H62138But Noah found grace (favor) in the eyes of the Lord.H5146H4672H2580H5869H30689This is the history of the generations of Noah. Noah was a just {and} righteous man, blameless {in} his [evil] generation; Noah walked [in habitual fellowship] with God.H8435H5146H5146H6662H376H8549H1755H5146H1980H43010And Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.H5146H3205H7969H1121H8035H2526H331511The earth was depraved {and} putrid in God's sight, and the land was filled with violence (desecration, infringement, outrage, assault, and lust for power).H776H7843H6440H430H776H4390H255512And God looked upon the world and saw how degenerate, debased, {and} vicious it was, for all humanity had corrupted their way upon the earth {and} lost their true direction.H430H7200H776H7843H1320H7843H1870H77613God said to Noah, I intend to make an end of all flesh, for through men the land is filled with violence; and behold, I will destroy them and the land.H430H559H5146H7093H1320H935H6440H776H4390H2555H6440H7843H854H77614Make yourself an ark of gopher {or} cypress wood; make in {it} rooms (stalls, pens, coops, nests, cages, and compartments) and cover it inside and out with pitch (bitumen).H6213H8392H1613H6086H7064H6213H854H8392H3722H1004H2351H372415And this is the way you are to make it: the length of the ark shall be 300 cubits, its breadth 50 cubits, and its height 30 cubits [that is, 450 ft. x 75 ft. x 45 ft.].H6213H753H8392H7969H3967H520H7341H2572H520H6967H7970H52016You shall make a roof or window [a place for light] for the ark and finish it to a cubit [at least 18 inches] above--and the door of the ark you shall put in the side of it; and you shall make it with lower, second, and third stories.H6672H6213H8392H520H3615H4605H6607H8392H7760H6654H8482H8145H7992H621317For behold, I, even I, will bring a flood of waters upon the earth to destroy {and} make putrid all flesh under the heavens in which are the breath {and} spirit of life; everything that is on the land shall die.H2009H589H935H3999H4325H776H7843H1320H7307H2416H8478H8064H3605H776H147818But I will establish My covenant (promise, pledge) with you, and you shall come into the ark--you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you.H6965H1285H935H413H8392H859H1121H802H1121H80219And of every living thing of all flesh [found on land], you shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.H2416H1320H8147H935H8392H2421H2145H534720Of fowls {and} birds according to their kinds, of beasts according to their kinds, of every creeping thing of the ground according to its kind--two of every sort shall come in with you, that they may be kept alive.H5775H4327H929H4327H7431H127H4327H8147H935H242121Also take with you every sort of food that is eaten, and you shall collect {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
