Genesis:6
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And it came to pass ,
when men began to multiply on the face of the earth ,
and daughters were born unto them ,
*
That the sons of God saw the daughters of men ,
that they were fair ;
and they took themselves wives of all whom they chose .
*
And the Lord said ,
My Spirit shall not always strive for the sake of man ,
for that he is but flesh ;
yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years .
*
The giants were on the earth in those days ;
and also after that ,
when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men ,
and they bore children to them ;
these became the mighty men ,
who were of old the men of renown .
*
And God saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth ,
and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually .
*
And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth ,
and it grieved him at his heart .
*
And the Lord said ,
I will destroy the man whom I have created from the face of the earth ;
both man and beast ,
and the creeping things and the fowls of the heaven ;
for it repenteth me that I have made them .
*
But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord .
*
These are the generations of Noah :
Noah was a just ,
perfect man in his generation ;
Noah walked with God .
*
And Noah begat three sons ,
Shem ,
Ham ,
and Japheth .
*
And the earth was corrupt before God ;
and the earth was filled with violence .
*
And God looked upon the earth ,
and behold ,
it was corrupt ,
for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth .
*
And God said unto Noah ,
The end of all flesh is come before me ;
for the earth is filled with violence through them ,
and I will destroy them with the earth .
*
Make thee an ark of gopher
wood ,
rooms shalt thou make in the ark ,
and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch .
*
And this is the manner in which thou shalt 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 .
*
A window shalt thou make to the ark ,
and thou shalt finish it above ,
to be one cubit broad ,
and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof ;
with lower ,
second ,
and third stories shalt thou make it .
*
And as regards myself ,
behold ,
I will bring a flood of waters upon the earth ,
to destroy all flesh ,
wherein is the breath of life ,
from under the heavens ;
every thing that is on the earth shall perish .
*
But I will establish my covenant with thee ;
and thou shalt come into the ark ,
thou ,
and thy sons ,
and thy wife ,
and thy sons
wives with thee .
*
And of every living thing ,
of all flesh ,
two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark ,
to keep them alive with thee :
male and female shall they be .
*
Of the fowls after their kind ,
and of the cattle after their kind ,
of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind ,
two of every sort shall come unto thee ,
to keep them alive .
*
And thou ,
for thy part ,
take unto thee of all food that is eaten ,
and thou shalt gather it to thee ;
and it shall be unto thee ,
and unto them for food .
*
Thus did Noah ;
according to all that God had commanded him ,
so he did .
