1And it came to pass, when men <0120> began <02490> (8689) to multiply <07231> (8800) on <05921> the face <06440> of the earth <0127>_, and daughters <01323> were born <03205> (8795) unto them,
2That the sons <01121> of God <0430> saw <07200> (8799) the daughters <01323> of men <0120> that they <02007> [were] fair <02896>_; and they took <03947> (8799) them wives <0802> of all which they chose <0977> (8804)_.
3And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799)_, My spirit <07307> shall not always <05769> strive <01777> (8799) with man <0120>_, for that he also <01571> [is] flesh <01320> <07683> (8800)_: yet his days <03117> shall be an hundred <03967> and twenty <06242> years <08141>_.
4There were giants <05303> in the earth <0776> in those days <03117>_; and also after <0310> that <03651>_, when <0834> the sons <01121> of God <0430> came in <0935> (8799) unto the daughters <01323> of men <0120>_, and they bare <03205> (8804) [children] to them, the same <01992> [became] mighty men <01368> which [were] of old <05769>_, men <0582> of renown <08034>_.
5And GOD <03068> saw <07200> (8799) that the wickedness <07451> of man <0120> [was] great <07227> in the earth <0776>_, and [that] every imagination <03336> of the thoughts <04284> of his heart <03820> [was] only <07535> evil <07451> continually <03117>_. {every...: or, the whole imagination: the Hebrew word signifieth not only the imagination, but also the purposes and desires} {continually: Heb. every day}
6And it repented <05162> (8735) the LORD <03068> that he had made <06213> (8804) man <0120> on the earth <0776>_, and it grieved <06087> (8691) him at <0413> his heart <03820>_.
7And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799)_, I will destroy <04229> (8799) man <0120> whom I have created <01254> (8804) from the face <06440> of the earth <0127>_; both man <0120>_, and <05704> beast <0929>_, and the creeping thing <07431>_, and the fowls <05775> of the air <08064>_; for it repenteth <05162> (8738) me that I have made <06213> (8804) them. {both...: Heb. from man unto beast}
8But Noah <05146> found <04672> (8804) grace <02580> in the eyes <05869> of the LORD <03068>_.
9These [are] the generations <08435> of Noah <05146>_: Noah <05146> was a just <06662> man <0376> [and] perfect <08549> in his generations <01755>_, [and] Noah <05146> walked <01980> (8694) with God <0430>_. {perfect: or, upright}
10And Noah <05146> begat <03205> (8686) three <07969> sons <01121>_, Shem <08035>_, Ham <02526>_, and Japheth <03315>_.
11The earth <0776> also was corrupt <07843> (8735) before <06440> God <0430>_, and the earth <0776> was filled <04390> (8735) with violence <02555>_.
12And God <0430> looked <07200> (8799) upon the earth <0776>_, and, behold, it was corrupt <07843> (8738)_; for all flesh <01320> had corrupted <07843> (8689) his way <01870> upon the earth <0776>_.
13And God <0430> said <0559> (8799) unto Noah <05146>_, The end <07093> of all flesh <01320> is come <0935> (8804) before me <06440>_; for the earth <0776> is filled with <04390> (8804) violence <02555> through them <06440>_; and, behold, I will destroy <07843> (8688) them with <0854> the earth <0776>_. {with the earth: or, from the earth}
14Make <06213> (8798) thee an ark <08392> of gopher <01613> wood <06086>_; rooms <07064> shalt thou make <06213> (8799) in <0854> the ark <08392>_, and shalt pitch <03722> (8804) it within <01004> and without <02351> with pitch <03724>_. {rooms: Heb. nests}
15And this [is the fashion] which thou shalt make <06213> (8799) it [of]: The length <0753> of the ark <08392> [shall be] three <07969> hundred <03967> cubits <0520>_, the breadth <07341> of it fifty <02572> cubits <0520>_, and the height <06967> of it thirty <07970> cubits <0520>_.
16A window <06672> shalt thou make <06213> (8799) to the ark <08392>_, and in a cubit <0520> shalt thou finish <03615> (8762) it above <04605>_; and the door <06607> of the ark <08392> shalt thou set <07760> (8799) in the side thereof <06654>_; [with] lower <08482>_, second <08145>_, and third <07992> [stories] shalt thou make <06213> (8799) it.
17And, behold <02009>_, I <0589>_, even I, do bring <0935> (8688) a flood <03999> of waters <04325> upon the earth <0776>_, to destroy <07843> (8763) all flesh <01320>_, wherein [is] the breath <07307> of life <02416>_, from under <08478> heaven <08064>_; [and] every thing <03605> that [is] in the earth <0776> shall die <01478> (8799)_.
18But with thee will I establish <06965> (8689) my covenant <01285>_; and thou shalt come <0935> (8804) into <0413> the ark <08392>_, thou <0859>_, and thy sons <01121>_, and thy wife <0802>_, and thy sons <01121>_' wives <0802> with thee.
19And of every living thing <02416> of all flesh <01320>_, two <08147> of every [sort] shalt thou bring <0935> (8686) into the ark <08392>_, to keep [them] alive <02421> (8687) with thee; they shall be male <02145> and female <05347>_.
20Of fowls <05775> after their kind <04327>_, and of cattle <0929> after their kind <04327>_, of every creeping thing <07431> of the earth <0127> after his kind <04327>_, two <08147> of every [sort] shall come <0935> (8799) unto thee, to keep [them] alive <02421> (8687)_.
21And take <03947> (8798) thou unto thee of all food <03978> that is eaten <0398> (8735)_, and thou shalt gather <0622> (8804) [it] to thee; and it shall be for food <0402> for thee, and for them.
22Thus did <06213> (8799) Noah <05146>_; according to all that God <0430> commanded <06680> (8765) him, so did <06213> (8804) he.
