The
Corruption of Mankind |
|
|
 |
|
Genesis 6:1
|
|
Now it came about, when men began to multiply
on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them, |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 6:2
|
|
that the sons of God saw that the daughters
of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.
|
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 6:3
|
|
Then the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not strive
with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one
hundred and twenty years." |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 6:4
|
|
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days,
and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and
they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of
renown. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 6:5
|
|
Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man
was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was
only evil continually. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 6:6
|
|
The LORD was sorry that He had made man on the
earth, and He was grieved in His heart. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 6:7
|
|
The LORD said, "I will blot out man whom I have
created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and
to birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them." |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 6:8
|
|
But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 6:9
|
|
These are the records of the generations of
Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his time; Noah walked with God. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 6:10
|
|
Noah became the father of three sons: Shem,
Ham, and Japheth. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 6:11
|
|
Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God,
and the earth was filled with violence. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 6:12
|
|
God looked on the earth, and behold, it was
corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 6:13
|
|
Then God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh
has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them; and
behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 6:14
|
|
"Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood; you
shall make the ark with rooms, and shall cover it inside and out with pitch. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 6:15
|
|
"This is how you shall make it: the length of
the ark three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty
cubits. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 6:16
|
|
"You shall make a window for the ark, and finish
it to a cubit from the top; and set the door of the ark in the side of it; you
shall make it with lower, second, and third decks. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 6:17
|
|
"Behold, I, even I am bringing the flood of
water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life, from
under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall perish. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 6:18
|
|
"But I will establish My covenant with you;
and you shall enter the ark--you and your sons and your wife, and your sons' wives
with you. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 6:19
|
|
"And of every living thing of all flesh, you
shall bring two of every kind into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they
shall be male and female. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 6:20
|
|
"Of the birds after their kind, and of the animals
after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of
every kind will come to you to keep them alive. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 6:21
|
|
"As for you, take for yourself some of all food
which is edible, and gather it to yourself; and it shall be for food for you and
for them." |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 6:22
|
|
Thus Noah did; according to all that God had
commanded him, so he did. |
