who were of old, men of renown.
006:005 Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth,
and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was
only evil continually.
006:006 Yahweh was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it
grieved him in his heart.
006:007 Yahweh said, "I will destroy man whom I have created
from the surface of the ground; man, along with animals,
creeping things, and birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I
have made them."
006:008 But Noah found favor in Yahweh's eyes.
006:009 This is the history of the generations of Noah. Noah was
a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time.
Noah walked with God.
006:010 Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
006:011 The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was
filled with violence.
006:012 God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh
had corrupted their way on the earth.
006:013 God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before me,
for the earth is filled with violence through them.
Behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
006:014 Make a ship of gopher wood. You shall make rooms in the ship,
and shall seal it inside and outside with pitch.
006:015 This is how you shall make it. The length of the ship will
be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits,
and the height of it thirty cubits.
006:016 You shall make a roof in the ship, and to a cubit shall you finish
it upward. You shall set the door of the ship in its side.
You shall make it with lower, second, and third levels.
