CHAP. VI.3 God threateneth to bring the flood. 5 Man is altogether corrupt.
6 God repenteth that he made him. 18 Noah and his
are preserued in the Arke, which he was c&obar;manded to make. Mans wickednesse.
1So when men beganne to be multiplied vpon
the earth, and there were daughters borne vnto
them,
2 Then the note sonnes of God sawe the daughters
note of men that they were note faire, & they tooke
them wiues of all that they note liked.
3 Therefore the Lord saide, My Spirit shall
not alway note striue with man, because he is but
flesh, and his dayes shalbe an note hundreth & twentie
yeeres.
4 There were note gyants in the earth in those
dayes: yea, and after that the sonnes of God
came vnto the daughters of men, and they had
borne them children, these were mightie men,
which in olde time were men of note renoume.
5 ¶2; When the Lorde sawe that the wickednesse
of man was great in the earth, and all the
imaginations of the thoughtes of his note heart were
onely euill note continually,
6 Then it note repented þe; Lord, þt; he had made
man in the earth, and he was sorie in his heart.
7 Therefore þe; Lord said, I will destroy from
the earth the man, whom I haue created, fr&obar; man
note to beast, to the creeping thing, and to the foule
of the heauen: for I repent þt; I haue made them.
8 But Noah note found grace in the eyes of the
Lord.
9 ¶2; These are the note generations of Noah. Noah
was a iust and vpright man in his time: and
Noah walked with God.
10 And Noah begate three sonnes, Shem,
Ham and Iapheth.
11 The earth also was corrupt before God:
for the earth was filled with note crueltie.
12 Then God looked vpon the earth, and
beholde, it was corrupt: for all flesh had corrupt
his way vpon the earth.
13 And God said vnto Noah, note An ende of all
flesh is come before me: for the earth is filled
with note crueltie note through them: and beholde, I wil
destroy them with the earth.
14 ¶2; Make thee an Arke of note pine trees: thou
shalt make note cabines in the Arke, and shalt pitch
it within and without with pitch.
15 And note thus shalt thou make it: The length
of the Arke shalbe three hundreth cubites, the
breadth of it fiftie cubites, and the height of it
thirtie cubites.
16 A windowe shalt thou make in the Arke,
and in a cubite shalt thou finish it aboue, and the
doore of the Arke shalt thou set in the side thereof:
thou shalt make it with the note lowe, seconde
and third roume.
17 And I, beholde, I will bring a flood of waters
vpon the earth to destroy all flesh, wherein
is the breath of life vnder the heauen: all that is
in the earth shall perish.
18 But with thee will I note establish my couenant,
and thou shalt goe into the Arke, thou, and
thy sonnes, and thy wife, and thy sonnes wiues
with thee.
19 And of euery liuing thing, of all flesh two
of euery sort shalt thou cause to come into the
Arke, to keepe them aliue with thee: they shalbe
male and female.
20 Of the foules, after their kinde, and of the
cattell after their kind, of euery creeping thing of
-- --
Noah entreth into the Arke.
the earth after his kinde, two of euery sort shall
come vnto thee, that thou mayest keepe them
aliue.
21 And take thou with thee of all meate that
is eaten: and thou shalt gather it to thee, that it
may be meate for thee and for them.
22noteNoah therefore did according vnto all,
that God commanded him: euen note so did he.
