1 And it came to pass when
the children of men began
to multiply on the face of the
earth and daughters were born
unto them, that the angels of
Elohim saw them on a certain
year of this jubilee, that they
were beautiful to look upon;
and they took themselves
wives of all whom they chose,
and they bare unto them sons
and they were giants. 2 And
lawlessness increased on the
earth and all flesh corrupted
its way, alike men and cattle
and beasts and birds and
everything that walketh on the
earth-all of them corrupted
their ways and their orders,
and they began to devour
each other, and lawlessness
increased on the earth and
every imagination of the
thoughts of all men (was) thus
evil continually. 3 And Elohim
looked upon the earth, and
behold it was corrupt, and all
flesh had corrupted its orders,
and all that were upon the
earth had wrought all manner
of evil before His eyes. 4 And
He said: “I shall destroy man
and all flesh upon the face
F O R
T H E
F L O O D
of the earth which I have
created.” 5 But Noah found
grace before the eyes of
Yahuah.
6 And against the angels whom
He had sent upon the earth,
He was exceedingly wroth,
and He gave commandment
to root them out of all their
dominion, and He bade us
to bind them in the depths of
the earth, and behold they are
bound in the midst of them,
and are (kept) separate.
7 And against their sons went
forth a command from before
His face that they should be
smitten with the sword, and be
removed from under heaven.
8 And He said “Thy spirit will
not always abide on man; for
they also are flesh and their
days shall be one hundred and
twenty years.” 9 And He sent
His sword into their midst that
each should slay his neighbour,
and they began to slay each
other till they all fell by the
sword and were destroyed
from the earth. 10 And their
fathers were witnesses (of their
destruction), and after this
they were bound in the depths
of the earth for ever, until the
day of the great condemnation
when judgment is executed on
all those who have corrupted
their ways and their works
before Yahuah.
