Genesis 6:5-18

5Then the LordH3068 sawH7200 that the wickednessH7463 of manH120 was greatH7227 on the earthH776, and that 1everyH3605 intentH3336 of the thoughtsH4284 of his heartH3820 was onlyH7534 evilH7451 continuallyH3605H3117. 62The LordH3068 was sorryH5162 that He had madeH6213 manH120 on the earthH776, and He was 3grievedH6087 4in His heartH3820. 7The LordH3068 saidH559, “5I will blotH4229 out manH120 whomH834 I have createdH1254 from the faceH6440 of the landH127, from manH120 to animalsH929 to creepingH7431 thingsH7431 and to birdsH5775 of the 6skyH8064; for 7I amH5162 sorryH5162 that I have madeH6213 them.” 8But 8NoahH5146 9foundH4672 favorH2580 in the eyesH5869 of the LordH3068.

9TheseH428 are the records of the generationsH8435 of NoahH5146. NoahH5146 was a 10righteousH6662 manH376, 1112blamelessH8549 in his 13timeH1755; NoahH5146 14walkedH1980 with GodH430. 10NoahH5146 15becameH3205 the fatherH3205 of threeH7969 sonsH1121: ShemH8035, HamH2526, and JaphethH3315.

11Now the earthH776 was 16corruptH7843 in the sightH6440 of GodH430, and the earthH776 was 17filledH4390 with violenceH2555. 12GodH430 lookedH7200 on the earthH776, and beholdH2009, it was corruptH7843; for 18allH3605 fleshH1320 had corruptedH7843 their wayH1870 upon the earthH776.

13Then GodH430 saidH559 to NoahH5146, “19The endH7093 of allH3605 fleshH1320 has comeH935 beforeH6440 Me; for the earthH776 is filledH4390 with violenceH2555 becauseH4480H6440 of them; and beholdH2009, I am about to destroyH7843 them with the earthH776. 14MakeH6213 for yourself an arkH8392 of gopherH1613 woodH6086; you shall makeH6213 the arkH8392 with roomsH7064, and shall 20coverH3722 it insideH4480H1004 and out with pitchH3724. 15ThisH2088 is howH834 you shall makeH6213 it: the lengthH753 of the arkH8392 threeH7969 hundredH3967 21cubitsH520, its breadthH7341 fiftyH2572 22cubitsH520, and its heightH6967 thirtyH7970 23cubitsH520. 16You shall makeH6213 a 24windowH6672 for the arkH8392, and finishH3615 it to a cubitH520 from 25the topH4605; and setH7760 the doorH6607 of the arkH8392 in the sideH6654 of it; you shall makeH6213 it with lowerH8482, secondH8145, and thirdH7992 decks. 17BeholdH2009, 26I, even I am bringingH935 the floodH3999 of waterH4325 upon the earthH776, to destroyH7843 allH3605 fleshH1320 in whichH834 is the breathH7307 of lifeH2425, from underH8478 heavenH8064; everythingH3605 that is on the earthH776 shall perishH1478. 18But I will establishH6965 27My covenantH1285 with you; and 28you shall enterH935 the arkH8392--you and your sonsH1121 and your wifeH802, and your sons’H1121 wivesH802 with you.
