Genesis 6

1 The wickedness of the world, which provoked God's wrath, and caused the flood. 8 Noah findeth grace. 14 The order, form, and end of the ark.

 6:1 Now it came 1961 about, when 3588 men 120 began 2490c to multiply 7231 on the face 6440 of the land 127, and daughters 1323 were born 3205 to them,

 6:2 that the sons 1121 of God 430 saw 7200 that the daughters 1323 of men 120 were beautiful 2896a; and they took 3947 wives 802 for themselves, whomever 3605 834 they chose 977.

 6:3 Then the LORD 3068 said 559, “My Spirit 7307 shall not strive 1777 with man 120 forever 5769, because 7683 he also 7683 is flesh 1320; nevertheless his days 3117 shall be one hundred 3967 and twenty 6242 years 8141.”

 6:4 The Nephilim 5303 were on the earth 776 in those 1992a days 3117, and also 1571 afterward 310 3651, when 834 the sons 1121 of God 430 came 935 in to the daughters 1323 of men 120, and they bore 3205 [children] to them. Those 1992a were the mighty 1368 men 1368 who 834 [were] of old 5769, men 376 of renown 8034.

 6:5 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 saw 7200 that the wickedness 7463a of man 120 was great 7227a on the earth 776, and that every 3605 intent 3336 of the thoughts 4284 of his heart 3820 was only 7534 evil 7451a continually 3605 3117.

 6:6 The LORD 3068 was sorry 5162 that He had made 6213a man 120 on the earth 776, and He was grieved 6087a in His heart 3820.

 6:7 The LORD 3068 said 559, “I will blot 4229a out man 120 whom 834 I have created 1254a from the face 6440 of the land 127, from man 120 to animals 929 to creeping 7431 things 7431 and to birds 5775 of the sky 8064; for I am 5162 sorry 5162 that I have made 6213a them.”

 6:8 But Noah 5146 found 4672 favor 2580 in the eyes 5869 of the LORD 3068.

 6:9 ¶ These 428 are [the records of] the generations 8435 of Noah 5146. Noah 5146 was a righteous 6662 man 376, blameless 8549 in his time 1755; Noah 5146 walked 1980 with God 430.

 6:10 Noah 5146 became 3205 the father 3205 of three 7969 sons 1121: Shem 8035, Ham 2526, and Japheth 3315.

 6:11 ¶ Now the earth 776 was corrupt 7843 in the sight 6440 of God 430, and the earth 776 was filled 4390 with violence 2555.

 6:12 God 430 looked 7200 on the earth 776, and behold 2009, it was corrupt 7843; for all 3605 flesh 1320 had corrupted 7843 their way 1870 upon the earth 776.

 6:13 ¶ Then God 430 said 559 to Noah 5146, “The end 7093 of all 3605 flesh 1320 has come 935 before 6440 Me; for the earth 776 is filled 4390 with violence 2555 because 4480 6440 of them; and behold 2009, I am about to destroy 7843 them with the earth 776.

 6:14 “Make 6213a for yourself an ark 8392 of gopher 1613 wood 6086; you shall make 6213a the ark 8392 with rooms 7064, and shall cover 3722b it inside 4480 1004 and out with pitch 3724b.

 6:15 “This 2088 is how 834 you shall make 6213a it: the length 753 of the ark 8392 three 7969 hundred 3967 cubits 520, its breadth 7341 fifty 2572 cubits 520, and its height 6967 thirty 7970 cubits 520.

 6:16 “You shall make 6213a a window 6672b for the ark 8392, and finish 3615 it to a cubit 520 from the top 4605; and set 7760 the door 6607 of the ark 8392 in the side 6654 of it; you shall make 6213a it with lower 8482, second 8145, and third 7992 decks.

 6:17 “Behold 2009, I, even I am bringing 935 the flood 3999 of water 4325 upon the earth 776, to destroy 7843 all 3605 flesh 1320 in which 834 is the breath 7307 of life 2425b, from under 8478 heaven 8064; everything 3605 that is on the earth 776 shall perish 1478.

 6:18 “But I will establish 6965 My covenant 1285 with you; and you shall enter 935 the ark 8392—you and your sons 1121 and your wife 802, and your sons’ 1121 wives 802 with you.

 6:19 “And of every 3605 living 2416a thing 2416a of all 3605 flesh 1320, you shall bring 935 two 8147 of every 3605 [kind] into the ark 8392, to keep 2421a [them] alive 2421a with you; they shall be male 2145 and female 5347.

 6:20 “Of the birds 5775 after their kind 4327, and of the animals 929 after their kind 4327, of every 3605 creeping 7431 thing 7431 of the ground 127 after its kind 4327, two 8147 of every 3605 [kind] will come 935 to you to keep 2421a [them] alive 2421a.

 6:21 “As for you, take 3947 for yourself some 4480 of all 3605 food 3978 which 834 is edible 398, and gather 622 [it] to yourself; and it shall be for food 402 for you and for them.”

 6:22 Thus Noah 5146 did 6213a; according to all 3605 that God 430 had commanded 6680 him, so 3651 he did 6213a.
