1 And it came to pass, when men * h120 began * h2490 h8689 to multiply * h7231 h8800 on * h5921 the face * h6440 of the earth * h127, and daughters * h1323 were born * h3205 h8795 unto them,
2 That the sons * h1121 of God * h430 saw * h7200 h8799 the daughters * h1323 of men * h120 that they * h2007 were fair * h2896; and they took * h3947 h8799 them wives * h802 of all which they chose * h977 h8804.
3 And the LORD * h3068 said * h559 h8799, My spirit * h7307 shall not always * h5769 strive * h1777 h8799 with man * h120, for that he also * h1571 h8677 * h7683 h8800 is flesh * h1320: yet his days * h3117 shall be an hundred * h3967 and twenty * h6242 years * h8141.
4 There were giants * h5303 in the earth * h776 in those days * h3117; and also after * h310 that * h3651, when * h834 the sons * h1121 of God * h430 came in * h935 h8799 unto the daughters * h1323 of men * h120, and they bare * h3205 h8804 children to them, the same * h1992 became mighty men * h1368 which were of old * h5769, men * h582 of renown * h8034.
5 And GOD * h3068 saw * h7200 h8799 that the wickedness * h7451 of man * h120 was great * h7227 in the earth * h776, and that every imagination * h3336 of the thoughts * h4284 of his heart * h3820 was only * h7535 evil * h7451 continually * h3117. every...: or, the whole imagination: the Hebrew word signifieth not only the imagination, but also the purposes and desires continually: Heb. every day
6 And it repented * h5162 h8735 the LORD * h3068 that he had made * h6213 h8804 man * h120 on the earth * h776, and it grieved * h6087 h8691 him at * h413 his heart * h3820.
7 And the LORD * h3068 said * h559 h8799, I will destroy * h4229 h8799 man * h120 whom I have created * h1254 h8804 from the face * h6440 of the earth * h127; both man * h120, and * h5704 beast * h929, and the creeping thing * h7431, and the fowls * h5775 of the air * h8064; for it repenteth * h5162 h8738 me that I have made * h6213 h8804 them. both...: Heb. from man unto beast
8 But Noah * h5146 found * h4672 h8804 grace * h2580 in the eyes * h5869 of the LORD * h3068.
9 These are the generations * h8435 of Noah * h5146: Noah * h5146 was a just * h6662 man * h376 and perfect * h8549 in his generations * h1755, and Noah * h5146 walked * h1980 h8694 with God * h430. perfect: or, upright
10 And Noah * h5146 begat * h3205 h8686 three * h7969 sons * h1121, Shem * h8035, Ham * h2526, and Japheth * h3315.
11 The earth * h776 also was corrupt * h7843 h8735 before * h6440 God * h430, and the earth * h776 was filled * h4390 h8735 with violence * h2555.
12 And God * h430 looked * h7200 h8799 upon the earth * h776, and, behold, it was corrupt * h7843 h8738; for all flesh * h1320 had corrupted * h7843 h8689 his way * h1870 upon the earth * h776.
13 And God * h430 said * h559 h8799 unto Noah * h5146, The end * h7093 of all flesh * h1320 is come * h935 h8804 before me * h6440; for the earth * h776 is filled with * h4390 h8804 violence * h2555 through them * h6440; and, behold, I will destroy * h7843 h8688 them with * h854 the earth * h776. with the earth: or, from the earth
14 Make * h6213 h8798 thee an ark * h8392 of gopher * h1613 wood * h6086; rooms * h7064 shalt thou make * h6213 h8799 in * h854 the ark * h8392, and shalt pitch * h3722 h8804 it within * h1004 and without * h2351 with pitch * h3724. rooms: Heb. nests
15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make * h6213 h8799 it of : The length * h753 of the ark * h8392 shall be three * h7969 hundred * h3967 cubits * h520, the breadth * h7341 of it fifty * h2572 cubits * h520, and the height * h6967 of it thirty * h7970 cubits * h520.
16 A window * h6672 shalt thou make * h6213 h8799 to the ark * h8392, and in a cubit * h520 shalt thou finish * h3615 h8762 it above * h4605; and the door * h6607 of the ark * h8392 shalt thou set * h7760 h8799 in the side thereof * h6654; with lower * h8482, second * h8145, and third * h7992 stories shalt thou make * h6213 h8799 it.
17 And, behold * h2009, I * h589, even I, do bring * h935 h8688 a flood * h3999 of waters * h4325 upon the earth * h776, to destroy * h7843 h8763 all flesh * h1320, wherein is the breath * h7307 of life * h2416, from under * h8478 heaven * h8064; and every thing * h3605 that is in the earth * h776 shall die * h1478 h8799.
18 But with thee will I establish * h6965 h8689 my covenant * h1285; and thou shalt come * h935 h8804 into * h413 the ark * h8392, thou * h859, and thy sons * h1121, and thy wife * h802, and thy sons * h1121' wives * h802 with thee.
19 And of every living thing * h2416 of all flesh * h1320, two * h8147 of every sort shalt thou bring * h935 h8686 into the ark * h8392, to keep them alive * h2421 h8687 with thee; they shall be male * h2145 and female * h5347.
20 Of fowls * h5775 after their kind * h4327, and of cattle * h929 after their kind * h4327, of every creeping thing * h7431 of the earth * h127 after his kind * h4327, two * h8147 of every sort shall come * h935 h8799 unto thee, to keep them alive * h2421 h8687.
21 And take * h3947 h8798 thou unto thee of all food * h3978 that is eaten * h398 h8735, and thou shalt gather * h622 h8804 it to thee; and it shall be for food * h402 for thee, and for them.
22 Thus did * h6213 h8799 Noah * h5146; according to all that God * h430 commanded * h6680 h8765 him, so did * h6213 h8804 he.
