Dual Panel1When <03588> <01961> humankind <0120> began <02490> to multiply <07231> on <05921> the face <06440> of the earth <0127>, and daughters <01323> were born <03205> to them,
2the sons <01121> of God <0430> saw <07200> that <03588> the daughters <01323> of humankind <0120> were beautiful <02896>. Thus they <02007> took <03947> wives <0802> for themselves from any <0834> <03605> they chose <0977>.
3So the Lord <03068> said <0559>, “My spirit <07307> will not <03808> remain <01777> in humankind <0120> indefinitely <05769>, since <01571> they <01931> are <01961> mortal <01320>. They will remain for <03117> 120 <06242> <03967> more years <08141>.”
4The Nephilim <05303> were <01961> on the earth <0776> in those <01992> days <03117> (and also <01571> after <0310> this <03651>) when the sons <01121> of God <0430> were having sexual relations <0935> with <0413> the daughters <01323> of humankind <0120>, who gave birth <03205> to their children. They <01992> were the mighty heroes <01368> of old <05769>, the famous <08034> men <0376>.
5But the Lord <03068> saw <07200> that <03588> the wickedness <07451> of humankind <0120> had become great <07227> on the earth <0776>. Every <03605> inclination <03336> of the thoughts <04284> of their minds <03820> was only <07535> evil <07451> all <03605> the time <03117>.
6The Lord <03068> regretted <05162> that <03588> he had made <06213> humankind <0120> on the earth <0776>, and he was highly <03820> offended <06087>.
7So the Lord <03068> said <0559>, “I will wipe <04229> humankind <0120>, whom <0834> I have created <01254>, from <05921> the face <06440> of the earth <0127>– everything from humankind <0120> to <05704> animals <0929>, including <05704> creatures that move on the ground <07431> and <05704> birds <05775> of the air <08064>, for <03588> I regret <05162> that <03588> I have made <06213> them.”
8But Noah <05146> found <04672> favor <02580> in the sight <05869> of the Lord <03068>.
9This <0428> is the account <08435> of Noah <05146>. Noah <05146> was a godly <06662> man <0582>; he was <01961> blameless <08549> among his contemporaries <01755>. He <05146> walked <01980> with <0854> God <0430>.
10Noah <05146> had three <07969> sons <01121>: Shem <08035>, Ham <02526>, and Japheth <03315>.
11The earth <0776> was ruined <07843> in the sight <06440> of God <0430>; the earth <0776> was filled <04390> with violence <02555>.
12God <0430> saw <07200> the earth <0776>, and indeed <02009> it was ruined <07843>, for <03588> all <03605> living creatures <01320> on <05921> the earth <0776> were sinful <07843>.
13So God <0430> said <0559> to Noah <05146>, “I have decided <07093> that all <03605> living creatures <01320> must die <0935>, for <03588> the earth <0776> is filled <04390> with violence <02555> because of <06440> them. Now I am about to destroy <07843> them and <0854> the earth <0776>.
14Make <06213> for yourself an ark <08392> of cypress <01613> wood <06086>. Make <06213> rooms <07064> in <0854> the ark <08392>, and cover <03722> it with pitch <03724> inside <01004> and out <02351>.
15This <02088> is how <0834> you should make <06213> it: The ark <08392> is to be 450 feet <0520> <03967> <07969> long <0753>, 75 feet <0520> <02572> wide <07341>, and 45 feet <0520> <07970> high <06967>.
16Make <06213> a roof <06672> for the ark <08392> and finish <03615> it, leaving 18 inches <0520> from the top <04605>. Put <07760> a door <06607> in the side <06654> of the ark <08392>, and make <06213> lower <08482>, middle <08145>, and upper decks <07992>.
17I <0589> am about to bring <0935> floodwaters <04325> <03999> on <05921> the earth <0776> to destroy <07843> from under <08478> the sky <08064> all <03605> the living creatures <01320> that <0834> have the breath <07307> of life <02416> in them. Everything <03605> that <0834> is on the earth <0776> will die <01478>,
18but I will confirm <06965> my covenant <01285> with <0854> you. You will enter <0935> the ark <08392>– you <0859>, your sons <01121>, your wife <0802>, and your sons <01121>’ wives <0802> with <0854> you.
19You must bring <0935> into <0413> the ark <08392> two <08147> of every <03605> kind of living creature <02416> from all <03605> flesh <01320>, male <02145> and female <05347>, to keep <02421> them alive <02421> with <0854> you.
20Of the birds <05775> after their kinds <04327>, and of the cattle <0929> after <04480> their kinds <04327>, and of every <03605> creeping thing <07431> of the ground <0127> after its kind <04327>, two <08147> of every <03605> kind will come <0935> to <0413> you so you can keep <02421> them alive <02421>.
21And you <0859> must take <03947> for yourself every <03605> kind of food <03978> that <0834> is eaten <0398>, and gather <0622> it together <0622>. It will be <01961> food <0402> for you and for them.
22And Noah <05146> did <06213> all <03605> that <0834> God <0430> commanded <06680> him– he did <06213> indeed <03651>.
