Genesis 6:1-22 NASB20 - Bible AI

¹Now it came about, when mankind began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them,

²that the sons of God saw that the daughters of mankind were [92]beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.

³Then the LORD said, “My Spirit will not [93]remain with man forever, [94]because he is also flesh; [95]nevertheless his days shall be 120 years.”

⁴The [96]Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of mankind, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

⁵Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of mankind was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of [97]their hearts was only evil continually.

⁶So the LORD was sorry that He had made mankind on the earth, and He was grieved [98]in His heart.

⁷Then the LORD said, “I will wipe out mankind whom I have created from the face of the land; mankind, and animals as well, and crawling things, and the birds of the sky. For I am sorry that I have made them.”

⁸But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.

⁹These are the records of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, [99]blameless in his generation. Noah walked with God.

¹⁰And Noah fathered three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

¹¹Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and the earth was filled with violence.

¹²And God looked on the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for [100]humanity had corrupted its way upon the earth.

¹³Then God said to Noah, “The end of [101]humanity has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of [102]people; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth.

¹⁴Make for yourself an ark of [103]gopher wood; you shall make the ark with compartments, and [104]cover it inside and out with pitch.

¹⁵This is how you shall make it: the length of the ark shall be [105]three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.

¹⁶You shall make a [106]window for the ark, and finish it to a [107]cubit from [108]the top; and put the door of the ark on the side; you shall make it with lower, second, and third decks.

¹⁷Now behold, I Myself am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which there is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall perish.

¹⁸But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall enter the ark—you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.

¹⁹And 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.

²⁰Of the birds according to their kind, and of the animals according to their kind, of every crawling thing of the ground according to its kind, two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive.

²¹As for you, take for yourself some of every food that is edible, and gather it to yourself; and it shall be food for you and them.”

²²So Noah did these things; according to everything that God had commanded him, so he did.
