The Beginning (Genesis) 6

 1And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
 2That the sons of God ('Elohyim) saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
 3And the LORD (Yehovah) 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.
 4There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God ('Elohiym) 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.
 5And I AM (God - Yehovah)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.
 6And it repented I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
 7And I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) 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 am sorry that I have made them.
 8But Rest (Noah) found grace in the eyes of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).
 9These are the generations of Rest (Noah): Rest (Noah) was a just man and perfect in his generation, and Rest (Noah) walked with God ('Elohyim).
 10And Noah begat three sons, Renowned (Shem), Hot (Ham), and Open (Japheth).
 11The earth also was corrupt before God (“Elohyim), and the earth was filled with violence.
 12And God ('Elohiym) looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
 13And God ('Elohiym) said unto Rest (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.
 14Make yourself an ark of gopher wood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it with pitch inside and out.
 15And this is the fashion which you shall 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.
 16Make a window in the ark, and finish it a cubit from the top; and set a door in the side with lower, second, and third stories.
 17And, 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.
 18But with you will I establish my covenant; and you will come into the ark, you, and your sons, and your wife, and your sons' wives with you.
 19And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring into the ark two of every living thing of every sort, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.
 20Of 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 to you, to keep them alive.
 21And take all kinds of food, every kind that is eaten, and gather it to you; and it shall be for food for you, and for them.
 22Thus did Rest (Noah); according to all that God ('Elohiym) commanded him, so did he.
