1 And it came about men began to be many on the face of the earth, and
daughters were conceived by them.
2 And the sons of the God saw that the daughters of men were good; and they
took to themselves all that they chose.
3 And said Jehovah, not will strive My Spirit with man always in their going astray
he is flesh; and his days are a hundred and twenty years.
4 The Nephilim (mighty ones?)were on the earth in days those; and even afterwards, when came in
the sons of God to the daughters of men, and they conceived to them, they were
the mighty men who from ancient time the men of name.
5 And saw Jehovah that great the evil of man on the earth, and every
conception in the thoughts of their hearts was only of bad all the day.
~
6 And sighed Jehovah that he had brought forth man on the earth, and was displeased to his
heart.
7 And said Jehovah, I will blot out man who I have created from the face of the
earth; from man to creature, and the creeping creatures, and the flying creature of the skies; for
I sigh that I have fashioned them.
8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of Jehovah.
9 These are the generations of Noah; Noah a man just and complete in his
generations, with God Noah walked about.
10 And did bring forth Noah three sons, Shem (name), Ham (hot), and Japheth (expansion).
11 And was corrupt the earth before God, and was filled with the earth violence.
~
12 And saw God the earth, and behold it was corrupted; for had corrupted
all flesh its way upon the earth.
#S#
13 And said God to Noah, The end of all flesh has come before My face; for is filled
the earth with violence before their face; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
14 Make for yourself a coffer of pitch trees; nests shall you make in the coffer, and you will
cover it inside and outside with a covering.
15 And thus you shall make it;
three hundred cubits the length, fifty cubits its breadth, and thirty
cubits its height.
~
16 A light you will make to the coffer, and to a cubit you shall finish it above;
and the opening to the coffer you will place in its side; with lower, second,
and third floors you will do it.
17 And even I, behold, I, am bringing the flood of the waters upon the earth to ruin all
flesh wherein is the breath of life under the skies; and as many as that are
on the earth will expire.
18 And I will establish My covenant with you; and you will come into the coffer,
you and your sons, and your woman, and the woman of your sons with you.
19 And from every living thing of all flesh, two of all to come into
the coffer, to keep alive with you; male and female they will be,
~
20 from the flying creature after their kind, and from the cattle after their kind, from every creeping thing
of the earth after its kind, two from all will come to you to keep
alive.
21 And you take for yourself of all eatable that is eaten, and you will gather to
yourself; and let it be for you and for them for eating.
22 And did Noah all that charged him God, this he did.

1 And it came about when mankind began to multiply on the face of the earth, and
daughters were conceived by them.
2 And the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were good; and they
married all of them who they chose.
3 And the Lord said, My Spirit will not always contend with man for his going astray in
his flesh; let the time allowed them be for a hundred and twenty years.
4 There were mighty ones on the earth in those days; and even afterwards, as the sons
of God went in to the daughters of men, and they conceived children by them, the
same became powerful men which were of old times, men of authority.
5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every
imagination in the thoughts of their hearts was continually of evil.
6 And the Lord sighed that he had brought forth man on the earth, they displeased him in his
heart.
7 And the Lord said, I will blot out man who I have created from the face of the
earth; from man to creature, and the creeping creatures, and the fowls of the air; for
I sigh that I have fashioned 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 undefiled in his
generations, and Noah was conversant with God.
10 And Noah became the father of three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 The earth was corrupted before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
~
12 And God looked upon the earth, and behold it was corrupt; for all people had
corrupted their way upon the earth.
#S#
13 And God said to Noah, The end of all people has come before me; for the earth
is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
14 Make an ark of gopher wood; rooms will you make in the ark, and
cover it inside and out with pitch.
15 And this is the plan with which you will make it; The length of the ark will be
three hundred cubits, the width of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty
cubits.
16 A window will you make to the ark, and to within a cubit above will you enclose it;
and a door to the ark will you place in the side; with lower, second,
and third floors will you make it.
17 And behold, I, even I, will bring flood waters upon the earth to ruin all
flesh wherein is the breath of life under the sky; and as many as are
on the earth may perish.
~
18 But with you I will establish My covenant; and you will come into the ark,
you and your sons, and your wife, and your sons' wives with you.
19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every kind will you bring into
the ark, to keep them alive with you; they will be male and female,
20 of fowls after their kind, and cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing
of the earth after its kind, two of every sort will come unto you to keep them
alive.
~
21 And take for yourself of all food that is eaten, and you will gather it to
you; and it will be for food for you, and for them.
22 Thus Noah did according to all that God commanded him, this he did.

1 As men began to multiply on the earth and have many daughters,
~
~
2 The followers of God saw that there were good daughters among men, and
they chose those that they liked.
3 And the Lord said, My Spirit will not always plead with men concerning their
wickedness, their time will be 120 years.
~
4 There were mighty men then, and even afterwards, and they had sexual unions
with men's daughters and conceived children, these became mighty men of history,
men of authority.
~~
5 And God saw their wickedness and that they were continually thinking evil
thoughts.
~~~
6 And the Lord sighed with displeasure, it broke His heart.
~
7 And the Lord said, I will destroy all living creatures on the earth, mankind, birds,
cattle, creeping things, for I am extremely displeased with mankind.
~
~
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
9 This is the family of Noah; Noah was a just man and from a uncorrupted family,
and Noah communicated with the Lord.
10 Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
~
11 The earth was very corrupt and filled with violence.
~~
12 And God looked and saw all the corruption, for all people were corrupt.
#S#
~
13 And God said to Noah, It is time to end the lives of all people on earth for
there is too much violence, Behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
~
14 Make an ark of cypress trees with rooms in it, and cover it inside and out with
a covering.
~
15 This is the plan, length 300 cubits, width 50 cubits, and height 30 cubits.
~
~
16 Make a skylight in it and enclose it overhead to within one cubit, place a door
in its side, and inside have three floors.
~~
17 Then Behold, I will bring a flood over the earth to cause ruin to all breathing flesh
under the sky, and all may die.
~~
18 But with you I will establish my covenant, go into the ark with your wife, your
sons, and their wives.
~~
19 And of all living creatures, two of each kind, male and female, will you keep alive.
~~
20 Of birds, cattle, creeping things, after their kind, two of all types will come
to you to keep them alive.
~~
21 Gather up of all food that is nourishing, gather it together for the creatures,
you and your family.
22 And Noah did all that the Lord told him.
