1 And it happened, when men began to multiply on the face of the ground and daughters were born to them,
2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair. And they took to them wives of all that they chose.
3 And Jehovah said, My Spirit will not strive in man everlasting, he is flesh in their erring. Yet his days will be a hundred and twenty years.
4 The giants were on the earth in those days. And also after that, when the sons of God came to the daughters of men and they bore sons to them, they were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown. 5 And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only continually evil. 6 And Jehovah regretted that he had made man on the earth and it grieved him in his heart. 7 And Jehovah said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the ground, from man to beast, to creeping things and birds of the heavens, because I regret that I have made them. 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of Jehovah.
9 These are the genealogies of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God. 10 And Noah fathered three sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth.
11 And the earth was corrupt before God and the earth was filled with violence. 12 And God saw the earth and behold, it was corrupt, because all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.
13 And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh has come before me, because the earth is filled with violence through them and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
14 Make yourself an ark of gopher wood. You will make rooms in the ark and will pitch it inside and outside with pitch. 15 And this is how you will make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits and the height of it thirty cubits. 16 You will make a door for the ark and you will finish it to a cubit upward. And you will set the door of the ark in the side of it and you will make it with lower, second and third stories.
17 And I, behold, I bring the flood of waters upon this earth, to destroy all flesh, in which is the breath of life, from under heaven. Everything that is on the earth will die.
18 But I will establish my covenant with you. And you will come into the ark, you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you.
19 And from every living thing of all flesh, you will bring into the ark two of every sort, to keep them alive with you. They will be male and female. 20 Of the birds according to their kind and of the cattle according to their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground according to its kind. Two of every sort will come to you, to keep them alive.
21 And you take to you of all food that is eaten and gather it to yourself and it will be for food for you and for them. 22 Noah did so according to all that God commanded him and so he did.
