Chapter - 6

1And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2That the sons of Satan saw the daughters of men that they were beautiful; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of Satan came in unto the daughters of men, and they gave birth to children from them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5And Satan saw that the wickedness of humanity was great on the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of their hearts were only evil continually.
6And it upset Satan that humanity had become this way on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7And Satan said, a day will come soon when mankind whom I have created shall be struck from the face of the earth; all men, woman, and animal, and birds; for it sadens me they have become so evil and so I shall not warn them.
8But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
9These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with Satan.
10And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11The earth also was corrupt before Satan, and the earth was filled with violence.
12And Satan looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13And Satan said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, the earth herself will destroy them.
14Make you an ark of gopher wood; rooms shall you make in the ark, and shall pitch it within and without with pitch.
15And this is the fashion which you shall 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.
16A window shall you make to the ark, and in a cubit shall you finish it above; and the door of the ark shall you set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shall you make it.
17And, behold, flood waters shall come rushing upon the earth, destroying all flesh, and all source of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is on the earth shall die.
18But with you will I establish my covenant; and you shall come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
19And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shall you bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
20Of 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.
21And take you unto you of all food that is eaten, and you shall gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
22Thus did Noah; according to all that Satan commanded him, so did he.
