6Genesis 6

1And it cometh to pass that mankind have begun to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters have been born to them,Select Genesis 6:1

2and sons of God see the daughters of men that they are fair, and they take to themselves women of all whom they have chosen.Select Genesis 6:2

3And Jehovah saith, `My Spirit doth not strive in man--to the age; in their erring they are flesh:' and his days have been an hundred and twenty years.Select Genesis 6:3

4The fallen ones were in the earth in those days, and even afterwards when sons of God come in unto daughters of men, and they have borne to them--they are the heroes, who, from of old, are the men of name.Select Genesis 6:4

5And Jehovah seeth that abundant is the wickedness of man in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart only evil all the day;Select Genesis 6:5

6and Jehovah repenteth that He hath made man in the earth, and He grieveth Himself--unto His heart.Select Genesis 6:6

7And Jehovah saith, `I wipe away man whom I have prepared from off the face of the ground, from man unto beast, unto creeping thing, and unto fowl of the heavens, for I have repented that I have made them.'Select Genesis 6:7

8And Noah found grace in the eyes of Jehovah.Select Genesis 6:8

9These are births of Noah: Noah is a righteous man; perfect he hath been among his generations; with God hath Noah walked habitually.Select Genesis 6:9

10And Noah begetteth three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.Select Genesis 6:10

11And the earth is corrupt before God, and the earth is filled with violence.Select Genesis 6:11

12And God seeth the earth, and lo, it hath been corrupted, for all flesh hath corrupted its way on the earth.Select Genesis 6:12

13And God said to Noah, `An end of all flesh hath come before Me, for the earth hath been full of violence from their presence; and lo, I am destroying them with the earth.Select Genesis 6:13

14`Make for thyself an ark of gopher-wood; rooms dost thou make with the ark, and thou hast covered it within and without with cypress;Select Genesis 6:14

15and this is that which thou dost with it: three hundred cubits is the length of the ark, fifty cubits its breadth, and thirty cubits its height;Select Genesis 6:15

16a window dost thou make for the ark, and unto a cubit thou dost restrain it from above; and the opening of the ark thou dost put in its side, --lower, second, and third stories dost thou make it.Select Genesis 6:16

17`And I, lo, I am bringing in the deluge of waters on the earth to destroy all flesh, in which is a living spirit, from under the heavens; all that is in the earth doth expire.Select Genesis 6:17

18`And I have established My covenant with thee, and thou hast come in unto the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy son's wives with thee;Select Genesis 6:18

19and of all that liveth, of all flesh, two of every sort thou dost bring in unto the ark, to keep alive with thee; male and female are they.Select Genesis 6:19

20Of the fowl after its kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort they come in unto thee, to keep alive.Select Genesis 6:20

21`And thou, take to thyself of all food that is eaten; and thou hast gathered unto thyself, and it hath been to thee and to them for food.'Select Genesis 6:21

22And Noah doth according to all that God hath commanded him; so hath he done.Select Genesis 6:22
