1 When men began to increase innumber on the earth and daughterswere born to them,2 the sons of God saw that the daughtersof men were beautiful, and they marriedany of them they chose.3 Then the Lord said, "My Spirit will notcontend with man forever, for he ismortal ; his days will be a hundred andtwenty years."4 The Nephilim were on the earth inthose days-and also afterward-when thesons of God went to the daughters ofmen and had children by them. Theywere the heroes of old, men of renown.5 The Lord saw how great man'swickedness on the earth had become,and that every inclination of the thoughtsof his heart was only evil all the time.6 The Lord was grieved that he hadmade man on the earth, and his heartwas filled with pain.7 So the Lord said, "I will wipe mankind,whom I have created, from the face ofthe earth-men and animals, andcreatures that move along the ground,and birds of the air-for I am grieved thatI have made them."8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of theLord .9 This is the account of Noah. Noah wasa righteous man, blameless among thepeople of his time, and he walked withGod.10 Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham andJapheth.11 Now the earth was corrupt in God'ssight and was full of violence.12 God saw how corrupt the earth hadbecome, for all the people on earth hadcorrupted their ways.13 So God said to Noah, "I am going toput an end to all people, for the earth isfilled with violence because of them. Iam surely going to destroy both themand the earth.14 So make yourself an ark of cypresswood; make rooms in it and coat it withpitch inside and out.15 This is how you are to build it: The arkis to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and45 feet high.16 Make a roof for it and finish the ark towithin 18 inches of the top. Put a door inthe side of the ark and make lower,middle and upper decks.17 I am going to bring floodwaters on theearth to destroy all life under theheavens, every creature that has thebreath of life in it. Everything on earthwill perish.18 But I will establish my covenant withyou, and you will enter the ark-you andyour sons and your wife and your sons'wives with you.19 You are to bring into the ark two of allliving creatures, male and female, tokeep them alive with you.20 Two of every kind of bird, of every kindof animal and of every kind of creaturethat moves along the ground will cometo you to be kept alive.21 You are to take every kind of food thatis to be eaten and store it away as foodfor you and for them."22 Noah did everything just as Godcommanded him.
