And it came to pass when mankind began to multiply on the face of the ground and daughters were born to them,
that the sons of God saw the daughters of mankind that they [were] fair and they took to them wives of all that they chose.
And Jehovah said, My Spirit shall not strive within man forever, for that he also [is] flesh, and his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare to them. These [are] the heroes, mighty men who [were] of old, men of renown .
And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of man [was] great on the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart only evil continually .
And Jehovah repented that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
And Jehovah said, I will wipe out man whom I have created, from the face of the ground—from man to cattle, to reptiles, and to bird of the heavens; for I repent that I have made them.
But Noah found favour in the eyes of Jehovah.
These [are] the generations of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations; Noah walked with God.
And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
And God looked upon the earth, and, behold it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth.
And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me, for the earth is full of violence through them; and behold I will destroy them with the earth.
Make thee an ark of gopher wood: rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and pitch it within and without with pitch.
And thus shalt thou make it: three hundred cubits the length of the ark, fifty cubits its breadth, and thirty cubits its height.
A transparency shalt thou make to the ark, and to a cubit thou shalt finish it above; and the ark’s door thou shalt set in its side: [with] lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
And I, behold I, bring the flood of waters on the earth to destroy all flesh wherein [is] the breath of life: all that [is] in the earth shall expire.
But I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt go into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy son’s wives with thee.
And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every [kind] shalt thou bring into the ark to keep [them] alive with thee; male and female shall they be.
Of the birds after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every reptile of the ground after its kind, two of every [kind] shall come to thee, to keep [them] alive.
And take thou to thee of all food that is eaten, and gather [it] to thee, and it shall be for food for thee and for them.
Thus did Noah according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
