Genesis 6

6:1And it came to pass when many men began to become upon the earth, and daughters were born to them.

6:2And the sons of God were beholding the daughters of men, that they are good, that they took to themselves women from all of whom they chose.

6:3And the lord God said, No way should my spirit stay with these men, on account of their being flesh; and their days will be a hundred twenty years.

6:4And the giants were upon the earth in those days. And after that, the sons of God continually entered to the daughters of men, and procreated for themselves. Those were the giants, the ones from the eon, the renowned men.

6:5And the lord God beholding that the evils of men were multiplying upon the earth, and all that man considered in his heart was diligently upon the wicked things all the days,

6:6and God pondered that he made the man upon the earth, and he considered it.

6:7And God said, I will wipe away the man, whom I made, from the face of the earth; from man unto beast, and from the reptiles unto the winged creatures of the heaven; for I repented that I made them.

6:8But Noah found favor before the lord God.

6:9And these are the origins of Noah. Noah was a just man being perfect in his generation; Noah was well-pleasing to God.

6:10And Noah procreated three sons, Shem, Ham, Japheth.

6:11But the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with iniquity.

6:12And the lord God beheld the earth, and it was being corrupted, for all flesh corrupted his way upon the earth.

6:13And the lord God said to Noah, Time for every man comes before me; for the earth is filled with iniquity by means of them. And behold, I lay them waste, and the earth.

6:14Make then for yourself an ark from four-cornered wood! Nested compartments you shall make among the ark, and you shall apply asphalt to it -- from inside and from outside with the asphalt.

6:15And so you shall make the ark -- three hundred cubits the length of the ark, and fifty cubits the width, and thirty cubits the height of it.

6:16By an assembling, you shall make the ark; and by a cubit you shall complete it from above; but the door of the ark you shall make from out of the side. You shall make it with ground second stories and third stories.

6:17And I, behold, I bring the flood of water upon the earth to lay waste all flesh in which is a breath of life underneath the heaven. And as much as might be upon the earth shall come to an end.

6:18And I will establish my covenant with you. And you shall enter into the ark, you and your sons, and your wife, and the wives of your sons with you.

6:19And from all the cattle, and from all the reptiles, and from all the wild beasts, and from all flesh, two by two from all you shall bring into the ark, that you may maintain them with yourself -- male and female they shall be.

6:20From all the fowl according to type, and from all the cattle according to type, and from all the reptiles crawling upon the earth according to their type; two by two from all shall enter to you, to be maintained with you, male and female.

6:21But you shall take to yourself from all of the foods which you shall eat, and you shall bring them together to yourself, and it shall be to you and to them to eat.

6:22And Noah did all as much as the lord God gave charge to him -- so he did.
