And it
came to pass, when men began to multiply on the
face of the earth, and daughters were born unto
them,02 That the sons of
God saw the daughters of men that they were fair;
and they took them wives of all which they chose.
03 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.
04 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.
05 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.
06 And it repented the Lord that he had
made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his
heart.
07 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.
08 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the
Lord.
09 These are the generations of Noah: Noah
was a just man and perfect in his generations,
and Noah walked with God.
10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham,
and Japheth.
11 The earth also was corrupt before God,
and the earth was filled with violence.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and,
behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had
corrupted his way upon the earth.

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.
14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms
shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it
within and without with pitch.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God
commanded him, so did he.
