Genesis Chapter 6

Genesis Chapter 6
1 So when men began to be multiplied
upon the earth, and there were daughters
born unto them,
2 Then the sons of God saw the
daughters of men that they were fair, and
they took them wives of all that they
liked.
3 Therefore the Lord said, My Spirit
shall not always strive with man,
because he is but flesh, and his days
shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4
There were giants in the earth in those
days: yea, and after that the sons of God
came unto the daughters of men, and they
had born them children, these were
mighty men, which in old time were men
of renown.
5 When the Lord saw that the
wickedness of man was great in the
earth, and all the imaginations of the
thoughts of his heart were only evil
continually, 6 Then it repented the Lord
that he had made man in the earth, and he
was sorry in his heart.
7 Therefore the Lord said, I will destroy
from the earth the man, whom I have
created, from man to beast, to the
creeping thing, and to the foul of the
heaven: for I repent that I have made
them.
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the
Lord.
9 These are the generations of Noah.
Noah was a just and upright man in his
time: and walked with God.
10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem,
Ham and Japheth.
11 The earth also was corrupt before
God: for the earth was filled with
cruelty. 12 Then God looked upon the
earth, and behold, it was corrupt: for all
flesh had corrupt his way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, An end of
all flesh is come before me: for the earth
is filled with cruelty through them: and
behold, I will destroy them with the
earth.
14 Make thee an ark of pine trees: thou
shalt make cabins in the ark, and shalt
pitch it within and without with pitch.
15 And thus shalt thou make it: The
length of the ark shall be three hundred
cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and
the height of it thirty cubits. 16 A
window shalt thou make in the ark, and
in a cubit shalt thou finish it above, and
the door of the ark shalt thou set in the
side thereof: thou shalt make it with the
low, second and third room.
17 And I, behold, I will bring a flood of
waters upon the earth to destroy all
flesh, wherein is the breath of life under
the heaven: all that is in the earth shall
perish.
18 But with thee will I establish my
covenant, and thou shalt go 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 cause to come into the
ark, to keep them alive with thee: they
shall be male and female.
20 Of the fouls, after their kind, and of
the cattle after their kind, of every
creeping thing of the earth after his kind,
two of every sort shall come unto thee,
that thou mayest keep them alive.
21 And take thou with thee of all meat
that is eaten: and thou shalt gather it to
thee, that it may be meat for thee and for
them.
22 Noah therefore did according unto
all, that God commanded him: even so
did he.
