⁵ The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination and intention of all human thinking was only evil continually. ⁶ And the Lord regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved at heart. ⁷ So the Lord said, I will destroy, blot out, and wipe away mankind, whom I have created from the face of the ground--not only man, the beasts and the creeping things and the birds of the air--for it grieves Me and makes Me regretful that I have made them. ⁸ But Noah found grace (favor) in the eyes of the Lord. ⁹ This is the history of the generations of Noah. Noah was a just and righteous man, blameless in his generation; Noah walked with God. ¹⁰ And Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. ¹¹ The earth was depraved and putrid in God's sight, and the land was filled with violence (desecration, infringement, outrage, assault, and lust for power). ¹² And God looked upon the world and saw how degenerate, debased, and vicious it was, for all humanity had corrupted their way upon the earth and lost their true direction. ¹³ God said to Noah, I intend to make an end of all flesh, for through men the land is filled with violence; and behold, I will destroy them and the land. ¹⁴ Make yourself an ark of gopher or cypress wood; make in it rooms (stalls, pens, coops, nests, cages, and compartments) and cover it inside and out with pitch (bitumen). ¹⁵ And this is the way you are to make it: the length of the ark shall be 300 cubits, its breadth 50 cubits, and its height 30 cubits . ¹⁶ You shall make a roof or window for the ark and finish it to a cubit above--and the door of the ark you shall put in the side of it; and you shall make it with lower, second, and third stories. ¹⁷ For behold, I, even I, will bring a flood of waters upon the earth to destroy and make putrid all flesh under the heavens in which are the breath and spirit of life; everything that is on the land shall die. ¹⁸ But I will establish My covenant (promise, pledge) with you, and you shall come into the ark--you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you. ¹⁹ And of every living thing of all flesh , you shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female. ²⁰ Of fowls and birds according to their kinds, of beasts according to their kinds, of every creeping thing of the ground according to its kind--two of every sort shall come in with you, that they may be kept alive. ²¹ Also take with you every sort of food that is eaten, and you shall collect and store it up, and it shall serve as food for you and for them. ²² Noah did this; he did all that God commanded him.
