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 them wives of all which they chose .
*
And the LORD said ,
My spirit shall not always strive with man ,
for that he also is flesh :
yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years .
*
There were giants in the earth in those days ;
and also after that ,
when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men ,
and they bare children to them ,
the same became mighty men which were of old ,
men of renown .
*
And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in 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 man whom I have created from the face of the earth ;
both man ,
and beast ,
and the creeping thing ,
and the fowls of the air ;
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 man and perfect in his generations ,
and Noah walked with God .
*
And Noah begat three sons ,
Shem ,
Ham ,
and Japheth .
*
The earth also 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 ,
behold ,
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 fashion which thou shalt make it of :
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 in a cubit shalt thou finish it above ma #
al #;
and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof ;
with lower ,
second ,
and third stories shalt thou make it .
*
And ,
behold ,
I ,
even I ,
do bring a flood of waters upon the earth ,
to destroy all flesh ,
wherein is the breath of life ,
from under heaven ;
and every thing that is in the earth shall die .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Of fowls after their kind ,
and of cattle after their kind ,
of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind ,
two of every sort shall come unto thee ,
to keep them alive .
*
And take thou unto 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 .
*
Thus did Noah ;
according to all that God commanded him ,
so did he .
