Genesis 6
Revised Version 1895
1And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when menH120 beganH2490 to multiplyH7231 on the faceH6440 of the groundH127, and daughtersH1323 were bornH3205 unto them, 2that the sonsH1121 of GodH430 sawH7200 the daughtersH1323 of menH120 that they were fair; and they tookH3947 them wivesH802 of allH3605 that they choseH977. 3And the LORDH3068 saidH559, My spiritH7307 shall notH3808 striveH1777 with manH120 for everH5769, for that he also is fleshH1320: yet shall his daysH3117 be an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141. 4The NephilimH5303 were in the earthH776 in thoseH834 daysH3117, and also afterH310 that, when the sonsH1121 of GodH430 cameH935 in unto the daughtersH1323 of menH376, and they bare childrenH1121 to them: the sameH3651 were the mightyH1368 menH376 whichH834 were of oldH1121, the menH376 of renownH8034. 5And the LORDH3068 sawH7200 that the wickednessH7451 of manH120 was greatH7227 in the earthH776, and that everyH3605 imaginationH3820 of the thoughtsH4284 of his heartH3820 was onlyH7535 evilH7451 continuallyH3117. 6And it repentedH5162 the LORDH3068 that he had madeH6213 manH120 on the earthH776, and it grievedH6087 him at his heartH3820. 7And the LORDH3068 saidH559, I will destroyH6213 manH120 whomH834 I have createdH1254 from the faceH6440 of the groundH127; bothH5921 manH120, and beastH929, and creepingH7431 thingH7431, and fowlH5775 of the air; for it repeateth meH6440 that I have madeH6213 them. 8But NoahH5146 foundH4672 graceH2580 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068. 9TheseH428 are the generationsH1755 of NoahH5146. NoahH5146 was a righteousH6662 manH376, and perfectH8549 in his generationsH1755: NoahH5146 walkedH1980 with GodH430. 10And NoahH5146 begat threeH7969 sonsH1121, ShemH8035, HamH2526, and JaphethH3315. 11And the earthH776 was corruptH7843 beforeH6440 GodH430, and the earthH776 was filledH4390 with violenceH2555. 12And GodH430 sawH7200 the earthH776, and, beholdH2009, it was corruptH7843; for allH3605 fleshH1320 had corruptedH7843 his wayH1870 uponH5921 the earthH776. 13And GodH430 saidH559 unto NoahH5146, The endH7093 of allH3605 fleshH1320 is comeH935 beforeH6440 meH6440; for the earthH776 is filledH4390 with violenceH2555 throughH935 them; and, beholdH2005, I will destroyH7843 them with the earthH776. 14MakeH6213 thee an arkH8392 of gopherH1613 woodH6086; roomsH7064 shalt thou makeH6213 in the arkH8392, and shalt pitchH3724 it withinH1004 and without with pitchH3724. 15And this is howH834 thou shalt makeH6213 it: the lengthH753 of the arkH8392 threeH7969 hundredH3967 cubitsH520, the breadthH7341 of it fiftyH2572 cubitsH520, and the heightH6967 of it thirtyH7970 cubitsH520. 16A lightH7760 shalt thou makeH7760 to the arkH8392, and to a cubitH520 shalt thou finishH3615 it upwardH4605; and the doorH6607 of the arkH8392 shalt thou setH7760 in the sideH6654 thereof; with lowerH8482, secondH8145, and thirdH7992 stories shalt thou makeH7760 it. 17And I, beholdH2009, I doH589 bringH935 the floodH3999 of watersH4325 uponH5921 the earthH776, to destroyH7843 allH3605 fleshH1320, whereinH834 is the breathH7307 of lifeH2416, from underH8478 heavenH8064; everyH3605 thingH3605 that is in the earthH776 shall dieH1478. 18But I will establishH6965 my covenantH1285 with thee; and thou shalt comeH935 intoH413 the arkH8392, thou, and thy sonsH1121, and thy wifeH802, and thy sons’H1121 wivesH802 with thee. 19And of everyH3605 livingH2416 thingH3605 of allH3605 fleshH1320, twoH8147 of everyH3605 sort shalt thou bringH935 intoH413 the arkH8392, to keepH935 them aliveH2416 with thee; they shall be maleH2145 and femaleH5347. 20Of the fowlH5775 afterH4480 their kindH4327, and of the cattleH929 afterH4480 their kindH4327, of everyH3605 creepingH7431 thingH7431 of the groundH127 afterH4480 itsH3605 kindH4327, twoH8147 of everyH3605 sort shall comeH935 unto thee, to keepH935 them aliveH2421. 21And takeH3947 thou unto thee of allH3605 foodH3978 that is eatenH398, and gatherH622 it to thee; and it shall be for foodH3978 for thee, and for them. 22ThusH3651 didH6213 NoahH5146; according to allH3605 that GodH430 commandedH6680 him, soH3651 didH6213 he.
