6:1 When people
had spread all over the world, and daughters were being born, |
|
6:2 some of the
heavenly beings saw that these young women were beautiful, so they took the
ones they liked. |
|
6:3 Then the LORD
said, "I will not allow people to live forever; they are mortal. From
now on they will live no longer than 120 years." |
|
6:4 In those days,
and even later, there were giants on the earth who were descendants of human
women and the heavenly beings. They were the great heroes and famous men of
long ago. |
|
6:5 When the LORD
saw how wicked everyone on earth was and how evil their thoughts were all the
time, |
|
6:6 he was sorry
that he had ever made them and put them on the earth. He was so filled with
regret |
|
6:7 that he said,
"I will wipe out these people I have created, and also the animals and
the birds, because I am sorry that I made any of them." |
|
6:8
But the LORD
was pleased with Noah. |
|
6:9 This is the
story of Noah. He had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Noah had no faults
and was the only good man of his time. He lived in fellowship with God, |
|
6:10 (SEE 6:9)
|
|
6:11 but everyone
else was evil in God's sight, and violence had spread everywhere. |
|
6:12 God looked at
the world and saw that it was evil, for the people were all living evil
lives. |
|
6:13 God said to
Noah, "I have decided to put an end to all people. I will destroy them
completely, because the world is full of their violent deeds. |
|
6:14 Build a boat
for yourself out of good timber; make rooms in it
and cover it with tar inside and out. |
|
6:15 Make it 450
feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. |
|
6:16 Make a roof
for the boat and leave a space of 18 inches between the roof and the sides.
Build it with three decks and put a door in the side. |
|
6:17 I am going to
send a flood on the earth to destroy every living being. Everything on the
earth will die, |
|
6:18 but I will
make a covenant with you. Go into the boat with your wife, your sons, and
their wives. |
|
6:19 Take into the
boat with you a male and a female of every kind of animal and of every kind
of bird, in order to keep them alive. |
|
6:20 (SEE 6:19)
|
|
6:21 Take along all
kinds of food for you and for them." |
|
6:22 Noah did
everything that God commanded. |
