God

and sons of God see the daughters of men that they are fair, and they take to themselves women of all whom they have chosen.

And Jehovah saith, `My Spirit doth not strive in man--to the age; in their erring they are flesh:' and his days have been an hundred and twenty years.

The fallen ones were in the earth in those days, and even afterwards when sons of God come in unto daughters of men, and they have borne to them--they are the heroes, who, from of old, are the men of name.

And Jehovah seeth that abundant is the wickedness of man in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart only evil all the day;

and Jehovah repenteth that He hath made man in the earth, and He grieveth Himself--unto His heart.

And Jehovah saith, `I wipe away man whom I have prepared from off the face of the ground, from man unto beast, unto creeping thing, and unto fowl of the heavens, for I have repented that I have made them.'

And Noah found grace in the eyes of Jehovah.

These are births of Noah: Noah is a righteous man; perfect he hath been among his generations; with God hath Noah walked habitually.

And the earth is corrupt before God, and the earth is filled with violence.

And God seeth the earth, and lo, it hath been corrupted, for all flesh hath corrupted its way on the earth.

And God said to Noah, `An end of all flesh hath come before Me, for the earth hath been full of violence from their presence; and lo, I am destroying them with the earth.

`And I, lo, I am bringing in the deluge of waters on the earth to destroy all flesh, in which is a living spirit, from under the heavens; all that is in the earth doth expire.

`And I have established My covenant with thee, and thou hast come in unto the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy son's wives with thee;

And Noah doth according to all that God hath commanded him; so hath he done.

And Jehovah saith to Noah, `Come in, thou and all thy house, unto the ark, for thee I have seen righteous before Me in this generation;

for after other seven days I am sending rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and have wiped away all the substance that I have made from off the face of the ground.'

And Noah doth according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him:

two by two they have come in unto Noah, unto the ark, a male and a female, as God hath commanded Noah.

and they that are coming in, male and female of all flesh, have come in as God hath commanded him, and Jehovah doth close it for him.

And God remembereth Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle which are with him in the ark, and God causeth a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subside,

And God speaketh unto Noah, saying, `Go out from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee;

And Noah buildeth an altar to Jehovah, and taketh of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and causeth burnt-offerings to ascend on the altar;

and Jehovah smelleth the sweet fragrance, and Jehovah saith unto His heart, `I continue not to disesteem any more the ground because of man, though the imagination of the heart of man is evil from his youth; and I continue not to smite any more all living, as I have done;

And God blesseth Noah, and his sons, and saith to them, `Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth;

Every creeping thing that is alive, to you it is for food; as the green herb I have given to you the whole;
