have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls
of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

But Noah found grace in the eyes of the
L
ORD
.
9
These
are
the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man
and
perfect in his generations,
and
Noah walked with God.
10
And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11
The earth also
was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12
And God looked upon the earth,
and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13
And God said
unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through

14
Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within
and without with pitch.
15
And this
is the fashion
which thou shalt make it
of:
The length of the ark
shall be
three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
16
A
window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark
shalt thou set in the side thereof;
with
lower, second, and third
stories
shalt thou make it.
17
And,
behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein
is
the breath
of life, from under heaven;
and
every thing that
is
in the earth shall die.
18
But with thee will I
establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy
sons’ wives with thee.
19
And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every
sort
shalt thou bring
into the ark, to keep
them
alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
20
Of fowls after their
kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every
sort
shall come unto thee, to keep
them
alive.
21
And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten,
and thou shalt gather
it
to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
22
Thus did Noah;
according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
CHAPTER 7
And the L
ORD
said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen
righteous before me in this generation.
2
Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the
male and his female: and of beasts that
are
not clean by two, the male and his female.
3
Of fowls
also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every
living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.

commanded him.
