1 Now it came to pass, awhen men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them,  
2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they atook wives for themselves of all whom they chose.  
3 And the Lord said, a“My Spirit shall not bstrive with man forever, cfor he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”  
4 There were1 giants on the earth in those adays, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.  
5 Then1 the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every aintent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil3 continually.  
6 And athe Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and bHe was grieved in His cheart.  
7 So the Lord said, “I will adestroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.”  
8 But Noah afound grace in the eyes of the Lord.

10 And Noah begot three sons: aShem, Ham, and Japheth.  
11 The earth also was corrupt abefore God, and the earth was bfilled with violence.  
12 So God alooked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for ball flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.  

The Ark Prepared

13 And God said to Noah, a“The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; band behold, cI will destroy them with the earth.  
14 Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make1 rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.  
15 And this is how you shall make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred1 cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.  
16 You shall make a window for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above; and set the door of the ark in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third decks.
17 aAnd behold, I Myself am bringing bfloodwaters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall cdie.  
18 But I will establish My acovenant with you; and byou shall go into the ark—you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.  
19 And of every living thing of all flesh you shall bring atwo of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.
