Genesis 6
1 And it came to pass, when
men began to
multiply on the
face of the
earth, and
daughters were
born unto them,
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.
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. 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. 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 And it
repented the
LORD that he had
made man on the
earth, and it
grieved him
at his
heart. 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.
8 But
Noah found grace in the
eyes of the
LORD. 9 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.
