Genesis 6

KJV

1  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when³⁵⁸⁸ men¹²⁰ began²⁴⁹⁰ to multiply⁷²³¹ on⁵⁹²¹ the face⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the earth,¹²⁷ and daughters¹³²³ were born³²⁰⁵ unto them,

2  That the sons¹¹²¹ of God⁴³⁰ saw^{7200 853} the daughters¹³²³ of men¹²⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ they²⁰⁰⁷ were fair;²⁸⁹⁶ and they took³⁹⁴⁷ them wives⁸⁰² of all^{4480 3605} which⁸³⁴ they chose.⁹⁷⁷

3  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ My spirit⁷³⁰⁷ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ always⁵⁷⁶⁹ strive¹⁷⁷⁷ with man,¹²⁰ for that he¹⁹³¹ also^{7945 1571} is flesh:¹³²⁰ yet his days³¹¹⁷ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and twenty⁶²⁴² years.⁸¹⁴¹

4  There were¹⁹⁶¹ giants⁵³⁰³ in the earth⁷⁷⁶ in those¹⁹⁹² days;³¹¹⁷ and also¹⁵⁷¹ after³¹⁰ that,³⁶⁵¹ when⁸³⁴ the sons¹¹²¹ of God⁴³⁰ came in⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ the daughters¹³²³ of men,¹²⁰ and they bore³²⁰⁵ children to them, the same¹⁹⁹² became mighty men¹³⁶⁸ which⁸³⁴ were of old,^{4480 5769} men³⁷⁶ of renown.⁸⁰³⁴

5  And GOD³⁰⁶⁸ saw⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ the wickedness⁷⁴⁵¹ of man¹²⁰ was great⁷²²⁷ in the earth,⁷⁷⁶ and that every³⁶⁰⁵ imagination³³³⁶ of the thoughts⁴²⁸⁴ of his heart³⁸²⁰ was only⁷⁵³⁵ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ continually.^{3605 3117}

6  And it repented⁵¹⁶² the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ that³⁵⁸⁸ he had made^{6213 853} man¹²⁰ on the earth,⁷⁷⁶ and it grieved⁶⁰⁸⁷ him at⁴¹³ his heart.³⁸²⁰

7  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ I will destroy^{4229 853} man¹²⁰ whom⁸³⁴ I have created¹²⁵⁴ from^{4480 5921} the face⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the earth;¹²⁷ both man,^{4480 120} and⁵⁷⁰⁴ beast,⁹²⁹ and⁵⁷⁰⁴ the creeping thing,⁷⁴³¹ and⁵⁷⁰⁴ the fowls⁵⁷⁷⁵ of the air;⁸⁰⁶⁴ for³⁵⁸⁸ it repenteth⁵¹⁶² me that³⁵⁸⁸ I have made⁶²¹³ them.

8  But Noah⁵¹⁴⁶ found⁴⁶⁷² grace²⁵⁸⁰ in the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

9  These⁴²⁸ are the generations⁸⁴³⁵ of Noah:⁵¹⁴⁶ Noah⁵¹⁴⁶ was¹⁹⁶¹ a just⁶⁶⁶² man³⁷⁶ and perfect⁸⁵⁴⁹ in his generations,¹⁷⁵⁵ and Noah⁵¹⁴⁶ walked¹⁹⁸⁰ with⁸⁵⁴ God.⁴³⁰

10  And Noah⁵¹⁴⁶ begot³²⁰⁵ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ sons,^{1121 853} Shem,^{8035 853} Ham,²⁵²⁶ and Japheth.³³¹⁵

11  The earth⁷⁷⁶ also was corrupt⁷⁸⁴³ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ God,⁴³⁰ and the earth⁷⁷⁶ was filled⁴³⁹⁰ with violence.²⁵⁵⁵

12  And God⁴³⁰ looked upon^{7200 853} the earth,⁷⁷⁶ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ it was corrupt;⁷⁸⁴³ for³⁵⁸⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ flesh¹³²⁰ had corrupted^{7843 853} his way¹⁸⁷⁰ upon⁵⁹²¹ the earth.⁷⁷⁶

13  And God⁴³⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Noah,⁵¹⁴⁶ The end⁷⁰⁹³ of all³⁶⁰⁵ flesh¹³²⁰ is come⁹³⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ me; for³⁵⁸⁸ the earth⁷⁷⁶ is filled⁴³⁹⁰ with violence²⁵⁵⁵ through them;^{4480 6440} and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will destroy⁷⁸⁴³ them with⁸⁵⁴ the earth.⁷⁷⁶

14  Make⁶²¹³ thee an ark⁸³⁹² of gopher¹⁶¹³ wood;⁶⁰⁸⁶ rooms⁷⁰⁶⁴ shalt thou make^{6213 853} in the ark,⁸³⁹² and shalt pitch³⁷²² it within^{4480 1004} and without^{4480 2351} with pitch.³⁷²⁴

15  And this²⁰⁸⁸ is the fashion which⁸³⁴ thou shalt make⁶²¹³ it of: The length⁷⁵³ of the ark⁸³⁹² shall be three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ cubits,⁵²⁰ the breadth⁷³⁴¹ of it fifty²⁵⁷² cubits,⁵²⁰ and the height⁶⁹⁶⁷ of it thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ cubits.⁵²⁰

16  A window⁶⁶⁷² shalt thou make⁶²¹³ to the ark,⁸³⁹² and in⁴¹³ a cubit⁵²⁰ shalt thou finish³⁶¹⁵ it above;^{4480 4605} and the door⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the ark⁸³⁹² shalt thou set⁷⁷⁶⁰ in the side⁶⁶⁵⁴ thereof; with lower,⁸⁴⁸² second,⁸¹⁴⁵ and third⁷⁹⁹² stories shalt thou make⁶²¹³ it.

17  And, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I, even I,⁵⁸⁹ do bring^{935 853} a flood³⁹⁹⁹ of waters⁴³²⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ the earth,⁷⁷⁶ to destroy⁷⁸⁴³ all³⁶⁰⁵ flesh,¹³²⁰ wherein⁸³⁴ is the breath⁷³⁰⁷ of life,²⁴¹⁶ from under^{4480 8478} heaven;⁸⁰⁶⁴ and every thing³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ is in the earth⁷⁷⁶ shall die.¹⁴⁷⁸

18  But with⁸⁵⁴ thee will I establish^{6965 853} my covenant;¹²⁸⁵ and thou shalt come⁹³⁵ into⁴¹³ the ark,⁸³⁹² thou,⁸⁵⁹ and thy sons,¹¹²¹ and thy wife,⁸⁰² and thy sons'¹¹²¹ wives⁸⁰² with⁸⁵⁴ thee.

19  And of every^{4480 3605} living thing²⁴¹⁶ of all^{4480 3605} flesh,¹³²⁰ two⁸¹⁴⁷ of every^{4480 3605} sort shalt thou bring⁹³⁵ into⁴¹³ the ark,⁸³⁹² to keep them alive²⁴²¹ with⁸⁵⁴ thee; they shall be¹⁹⁶¹ male²¹⁴⁵ and female.⁵³⁴⁷

20  Of fowls^{4480 5775} after their kind,⁴³²⁷ and of⁴⁴⁸⁰ cattle⁹²⁹ after their kind,⁴³²⁷ of every^{4480 3605} creeping thing⁷⁴³¹ of the earth¹²⁷ after his kind,⁴³²⁷ two⁸¹⁴⁷ of every^{4480 3605} sort shall come⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ thee, to keep them alive.²⁴²¹

21  And take³⁹⁴⁷ thou⁸⁵⁹ unto thee of all^{4480 3605} food³⁹⁷⁸ that⁸³⁴ is eaten,³⁹⁸ and thou shalt gather⁶²² it to⁴¹³ thee; and it shall be¹⁹⁶¹ for food⁴⁰² for thee, and for them.

22  Thus did⁶²¹³ Noah;⁵¹⁴⁶ according to all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ God⁴³⁰ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ him, so³⁶⁵¹ did⁶²¹³ he.

1 καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα ἤρξαντο οἱ ἄνθρωποι πολλοὶ γίνεσθαι ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ θυγατέρες ἐγενήθησαν αὐτοῖς

2 ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ θεοῦ τὰς θυγατέρας τῶν ἀνθρώπων ὅτι καλαί εἰσιν ἔλαβον ἑαυτοῖς γυναῖκας ἀπὸ πασῶν ὧν ἐξελέξαντο

3 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος ὁ θεός οὐ μὴ καταμείνῃ τὸ πνεῦμά μου ἐν τοῖς ἀνθρώποις τούτοις εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα διὰ τὸ εἶναι αὐτοὺς σάρκας ἔσονται δὲ αἱ ἡμέραι αὐτῶν ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι ἔτη

4 οἱ δὲ γίγαντες ἦσαν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις καὶ μετ᾽ ἐκεῖνο ὡς ἂν εἰσεπορεύοντο οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ θεοῦ πρὸς τὰς θυγατέρας τῶν ἀνθρώπων καὶ ἐγεννῶσαν ἑαυτοῖς ἐκεῖνοι ἦσαν οἱ γίγαντες οἱ ἀπ᾽ αἰῶνος οἱ ἄνθρωποι οἱ ὀνομαστοί

5 ἰδὼν δὲ κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὅτι ἐπληθύνθησαν αἱ κακίαι τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ πᾶς τις διανοεῖται ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ ἐπιμελῶς ἐπὶ τὰ πονηρὰ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας

6 καὶ ἐνεθυμήθη ὁ θεὸς ὅτι ἐποίησεν τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ διενοήθη

7 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ θεός ἀπαλείψω τὸν ἄνθρωπον ὃν ἐποίησα ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς γῆς ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου ἕως κτήνους καὶ ἀπὸ ἑρπετῶν ἕως τῶν πετεινῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ὅτι ἐθυμώθην ὅτι ἐποίησα αὐτούς

8 Νωε δὲ εὗρεν χάριν ἐναντίον κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ

9 αὗται δὲ αἱ γενέσεις Νωε Νωε ἄνθρωπος δίκαιος τέλειος ὢν ἐν τῇ γενεᾷ αὐτοῦ τῷ θεῷ εὐηρέστησεν Νωε

10 ἐγέννησεν δὲ Νωε τρεῖς υἱούς τὸν Σημ τὸν Χαμ τὸν Ιαφεθ

11 ἐφθάρη δὲ ἡ γῆ ἐναντίον τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἐπλήσθη ἡ γῆ ἀδικίας

12 καὶ εἶδεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς τὴν γῆν καὶ ἦν κατεφθαρμένη ὅτι κατέφθειρεν πᾶσα σὰρξ τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς

13 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ θεὸς πρὸς Νωε καιρὸς παντὸς ἀνθρώπου ἥκει ἐναντίον μου ὅτι ἐπλήσθη ἡ γῆ ἀδικίας ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ καταφθείρω αὐτοὺς καὶ τὴν γῆν

14 ποίησον οὖν σεαυτῷ κιβωτὸν ἐκ ξύλων τετραγώνων νοσσιὰς ποιήσεις τὴν κιβωτὸν καὶ ἀσφαλτώσεις αὐτὴν ἔσωθεν καὶ ἔξωθεν τῇ ἀσφάλτῳ

15 καὶ οὕτως ποιήσεις τὴν κιβωτόν τριακοσίων πήχεων τὸ μῆκος τῆς κιβωτοῦ καὶ πεντήκοντα πήχεων τὸ πλάτος καὶ τριάκοντα πήχεων τὸ ὕψος αὐτῆς

16 ἐπισυνάγων ποιήσεις τὴν κιβωτὸν καὶ εἰς πῆχυν συντελέσεις αὐτὴν ἄνωθεν τὴν δὲ θύραν τῆς κιβωτοῦ ποιήσεις ἐκ πλαγίων κατάγαια διώροφα καὶ τριώροφα ποιήσεις αὐτήν

17 ἐγὼ δὲ ἰδοὺ ἐπάγω τὸν κατακλυσμὸν ὕδωρ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καταφθεῖραι πᾶσαν σάρκα ἐν ᾗ ἐστιν πνεῦμα ζωῆς ὑποκάτω τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ὅσα ἐὰν ᾖ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς τελευτήσει

18 καὶ στήσω τὴν διαθήκην μου πρὸς σέ εἰσελεύσῃ δὲ εἰς τὴν κιβωτόν σὺ καὶ οἱ υἱοί σου καὶ ἡ γυνή σου καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες τῶν υἱῶν σου μετὰ σοῦ

19 καὶ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν κτηνῶν καὶ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν ἑρπετῶν καὶ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν θηρίων καὶ ἀπὸ πάσης σαρκός δύο δύο ἀπὸ πάντων εἰσάξεις εἰς τὴν κιβωτόν ἵνα τρέφῃς μετὰ σεαυτοῦ ἄρσεν καὶ θῆλυ ἔσονται

20 ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν ὀρνέων τῶν πετεινῶν κατὰ γένος καὶ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν κτηνῶν κατὰ γένος καὶ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν ἑρπετῶν τῶν ἑρπόντων ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς κατὰ γένος αὐτῶν δύο δύο ἀπὸ πάντων εἰσελεύσονται πρὸς σὲ τρέφεσθαι μετὰ σοῦ ἄρσεν καὶ θῆλυ

21 σὺ δὲ λήμψῃ σεαυτῷ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν βρωμάτων ἃ ἔδεσθε καὶ συνάξεις πρὸς σεαυτόν καὶ ἔσται σοὶ καὶ ἐκείνοις φαγεῖν

22 καὶ ἐποίησεν Νωε πάντα ὅσα ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ κύριος ὁ θεός οὕτως ἐποίησεν

1 Cumque cœpissent homines multiplicari super terram, et filias procreassent,

2 videntes filii Dei filias hominum quod essent pulchræ, acceperunt sibi uxores ex omnibus, quas elegerant.

3 Dixitque Deus: Non permanebit spiritus meus in homine in æternum, quia caro est: eruntque dies illius centum viginti annorum.

4 Gigantes autem erant super terram in diebus illis: postquam enim ingressi sunt filii Dei ad filias hominum, illæque genuerunt, isti sunt potentes a sæculo viri famosi.

5 Videns autem Deus quod multa malitia hominum esset in terra, et cuncta cogitatio cordis intenta esset ad malum omni tempore,

6 pœnituit eum quod hominum fecisset in terra. Et tactus dolore cordis intrinsecus,

7 Delebo, inquit, hominem, quem creavi, a facie terræ, ab homine usque ad animantia, a reptili usque ad volucres cæli: pœnitet enim me fecisse eos.

8 Noë vero invenit gratiam coram Domino.

9 Hæ sunt generationes Noë: Noë vir justus atque perfectus fuit in generationibus suis; cum Deo ambulavit.

10 Et genuit tres filios, Sem, Cham et Japheth.

11 Corrupta est autem terra coram Deo, et repleta est iniquitate.

12 Cumque vidisset Deus terram esse corruptam (omnis quippe caro corruperat viam suam super terram),

13 dixit ad Noë: Finis universæ carnis venit coram me: repleta est terra iniquitate a facie eorum, et ego disperdam eos cum terra.

14 Fac tibi arcam de lignis lævigatis; mansiunculas in arca facies, et bitumine linies intrinsecus et extrinsecus.

15 Et sic facies eam: trecentorum cubitorum erit longitudo arcæ, quinquaginta cubitorum latitudo, et triginta cubitorum altitudo illius.

16 Fenestram in arca facies, et in cubito consummabis summitatem ejus: ostium autem arcæ pones ex latere; deorsum, cœnacula et tristega facies in ea.

17 Ecce ego adducam aquas diluvii super terram, ut interficiam omnem carnem, in qua spiritus vitæ est subter cælum: universa quæ in terra sunt, consumentur.

18 Ponamque fœdus meum tecum: et ingredieris arcam tu et filii tui, uxor tua, et uxores filiorum tuorum tecum.

19 Et ex cunctis animantibus universæ carnis bina induces in arcam, ut vivant tecum: masculini sexus et feminini.

20 De volucribus juxta genus suum, et de jumentis in genere suo, et ex omni reptili terræ secundum genus suum: bina de omnibus ingredientur tecum, ut possint vivere.

21 Tolles igitur tecum ex omnibus escis, quæ mandi possunt, et comportabis apud te: et erunt tam tibi, quam illis in cibum.

22 Fecit igitur Noë omnia quæ præceperat illi Deus.
