{6:1} And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
{6:2} That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
{6:3} 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. {
6:4} 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.
{6:5} 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.
{6:6} And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
{6:7} 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.
{6:8} But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
{6:9} These [are] the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man [and]perfect in his generations, [and] Noah walked with God.
{6:10} And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
{6:11} The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
{6:12} And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
{6:13} 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.
{6:14} Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
{6:15} 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.
{6:16} 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.
{6:17} 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.
{6:18} 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.
{6:19} 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.
{6:20} 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.
{6:21} 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.
{6:22} Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
