6 And it cometh to pass that mankind have begun to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters have been born to them,

² and sons of God see the daughters of men that they [are] fair, and they take to themselves women of all whom they have chosen.

³ And Jehovah saith, `My Spirit doth not strive in man -- to the age; in their erring they [are] flesh:' and his days have been an hundred and twenty years.

⁴ The fallen ones were in the earth in those days, and even afterwards when sons of God come in unto daughters of men, and they have borne to them -- they [are] the heroes, who, from of old, [are] the men of name.

⁵ And Jehovah seeth that abundant [is] the wickedness of man in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart only evil all the day;

⁶ and Jehovah repenteth that He hath made man in the earth, and He grieveth Himself -- unto His heart.

¹⁰ And Noah begetteth three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

¹¹ And the earth is corrupt before God, and the earth is filled [with] violence.

¹² And God seeth the earth, and lo, it hath been corrupted, for all flesh hath corrupted its way on the earth.

¹³ And God said to Noah, `An end of all flesh hath come before Me, for the earth hath been full of violence from their presence; and lo, I am destroying them with the earth.

¹⁴ `Make for thyself an ark of gopher-wood; rooms dost thou make with the ark, and thou hast covered it within and without with cypress;

¹⁵ and this [is] that which thou dost with it: three hundred cubits [is] the length of the ark, fifty cubits its breadth, and thirty cubits its height;

¹⁶ a window dost thou make for the ark, and unto a cubit thou dost restrain it from above; and the opening of the ark thou dost put in its side, -- lower, second, and third [stories] dost thou make it.

¹⁷ `And I, lo, I am bringing in the deluge of waters on the earth to destroy all flesh, in which [is] a living spirit, from under the heavens; all that [is] in the earth doth expire.

¹⁸ `And I have established My covenant with thee, and thou hast come in unto the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy son's wives with thee;

¹⁹ and of all that liveth, of all flesh, two of every [sort] thou dost bring in unto the ark, to keep alive with thee; male and female are they.

²⁰ Of the fowl after its kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every [sort] they come in unto thee, to keep alive.

²¹ `And thou, take to thyself of all food that is eaten; and thou hast gathered unto thyself, and it hath been to thee and to them for food.'

²² And Noah doth according to all that God hath commanded him; so hath he done.
