CHAP. VI.
1 The wickedness of the world, which provoked
God's wrath, and caused the flood. 8 Noah
findeth grace. 14 The order, form, and end
of the ark.
1 And it came to pass, when 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 fair; and they
took them wives of all whom they chose.
3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall
not always strive with man, for that he
also is flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred
and twenty years.
4 There were giants in the earth in
those days; and also after that, when the
sons of God came in to the daughters of
men, and they bore children to them: the
same became mighty men, who were of
old, men of renown.
5 ¶2; And God saw that the wickedness
of man was great in the earth, and that
note every imagination of the thoughts of his
note heart was only evil note continually.
6 And the Lord repented that he had
made man on the earth, and it grieved
him at his heart.
7 And the Lord said, I will destroy
man whom I have created, from the face
of the earth, note both man and beast, and
the creeping animal, and the fowls of the
air; for I repent that I have made them.

Before CHRIST, 2469.
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of
the Lord.
9 ¶2; These are the generations of
Noah: note Noah was a just man, and note perfect
in his generations, and Noah walked
with God.
10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem,
Ham, and Japheth.
11 The earth also was corrupt before
God; and the earth was filled with violence.
12 And God looked upon the earth,
and behold, it was corrupt: for all flesh
had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 And God said to Noah, The end of
all flesh is come before me; for the earth
is filled with violence through them:
and behold, I will destroy them note with
the earth.
14 ¶2; Make thee an ark of gopherwood:
note rooms shalt thou make in the
ark, and shalt pitch it within and without
with pitch.
15 And this is the fashion in which
thou shalt make it: the length of the ark
shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth
of it fifty cubits, and the hight of it thirty
cubits.
16 A window shalt thou make to the
ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it
above; and the door of the ark shalt
thou set in its side: with lower, second,
and third stories shalt thou make it.
17 And behold, I, even I do bring a
flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy
all flesh, in which is the breath of life,
from under heaven: and every thing
that is on the earth shall die.
18 But with thee will I establish my
covenant: and thou shalt come into the
ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife,
and thy sons' wives with thee.
19 And of every living thing of all
flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring
into the ark, to keep them alive with
thee: they shall be male and female.
20 Of fowls after their kind, and of
cattle after their kind, of every creeping
animal of the earth after its kind, two of
every sort shall come to thee, to keep
them alive.
21 And take thou to thee of all food
that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to
thee; and it shall be for food for thee,
and for them.
22 noteThus did Noah; according to all
that God commanded him, so did he.
