1And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them,Select Genesis 6:1

2That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.Select Genesis 6:2

3And 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.Select Genesis 6:3

5And 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.Select Genesis 6:5

6And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.Select Genesis 6:6

7And 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 repents me that I have made them.Select Genesis 6:7

9These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.Select Genesis 6:9

11The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.Select Genesis 6:11

12And God looked on the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way on the earth.Select Genesis 6:12

13And God said to 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. ¶Select Genesis 6:13

14Make you an ark of gopher wood; rooms shall you make in the ark, and shall pitch it within and without with pitch.Select Genesis 6:14

15And this is the fashion which you shall 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.Select Genesis 6:15

16A window shall you make to the ark, and in a cubit shall you finish it above; and the door of the ark shall you set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shall you make it.Select Genesis 6:16

17And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters on 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.Select Genesis 6:17

18But with you will I establish my covenant; and you shall come into the ark, you, and your sons, and your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.Select Genesis 6:18

19And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shall you bring into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.Select Genesis 6:19

20Of 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 to you, to keep them alive.Select Genesis 6:20

21And take you to you of all food that is eaten, and you shall gather it to you; and it shall be for food for you, and for them.Select Genesis 6:21

22Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.Select Genesis 6:22
