Chapter 6

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 Elohiym saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them women of all which they chose.

3

And Yahuah said, My Ruach shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.

4

There were Naphaliym in the earth in those days; who also gathered afterward, when the sons of Elohiym came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children unto them, the same became warriors and tyrants which were from everlasting, mortal men of the name.

5

And Yahuah 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 Yahuah repented that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

7

And Yahuah 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 I repent that I have made them.

8

But Noach found grace in the eyes of Yahuah.

9

These are the generations of Noach: Noach was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noach walked with Elohiym.

10

And Noach begat three sons, Shem, Cham, and Yapheth.

11

The earth also was corrupt before Elohiym, and the earth was filled with violence.

12

And Elohiym looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.

13

And Elohiym said unto Noach, 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 you an ark of gopher wood; rooms shall you make in the ark, and shall pitch it within and without with pitch.

15

And this is the fashion which you shall 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 shall you make to the ark, and in a cubit shall you finish it above; and the door of the ark shall you set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shall you 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 everything that is in the earth shall die.

18

But with you will I establish my covenant; and you shall come into the ark, you, and your sons, and your woman, and your sons' women with you.

19

And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shall you bring into the ark, to keep them alive with you; 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 you, to keep them alive.

21

And take unto you of all food that is eaten, and you shall gather it to you; and it shall be for food for you, and for them.

22

Thus did Noach; according to all that Elohiym commanded him, so did he.
