**1 **And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, **2 **That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they *were* fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. **3 **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. **4 **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.

**5 **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. **6 **And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. **7 **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.

**8 **But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

**9 **These *are* the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man *and* perfect in his generations, *and* Noah walked with God. **10 **And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

**11 **The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. **12 **And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.

**13 **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. **14 **Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. **15 **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. **16 **A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; *with* lower, second, and third *stories* shalt thou make it. **17 **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. **18 **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. **19 **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. **20 **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. **21 **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. **22 **Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
