28When Lamech was 182 years old,

29Lamech named his son Noah, for

6:1Then the people began to multiply on
the earth, and daughters were born to
them. 2 The sons of God saw the beautiful women* and took any they wanted as
their wives. 3 Then the Lord said, “My
Spirit will not put up with* humans for
3
such a long time, for they are only mortal
flesh. In the future, their normal lifespan
will be no more than 120 years.”
4In those days, and for some time after, giant Nephilites lived on the earth,
for whenever the sons of God had intercourse with women, they gave birth to
children who became the heroes and famous warriors of ancient times.
5 The Lord observed the extent of
human wickedness on the earth, and
he saw that everything they thought or
imagined was consistently and totally
evil. 6So the Lord was sorry he had ever
made them and put them on the earth.
It broke his heart. 7And the Lord said, “I
will wipe this human race I have created
from the face of the earth. Yes, and I will
destroy every living thing—all the people, the large animals, the small animals
that scurry along the ground, and even
the birds of the sky. I am sorry I ever
made them.” 8But Noah found favor
with the Lord.
9 This is the account of Noah and his
family. Noah was a righteous man, the
only blameless person living on earth at
the time, and he walked in close fellowship with God. 10Noah was the father of
three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11Now God saw that the earth had
become corrupt and was filled with violence. 12God observed all this corruption
in the world, for everyone on earth was
corrupt. 13 So God said to Noah, “I have
decided to destroy all living creatures, for
they have filled the earth with violence.
Yes, I will wipe them all out along with
the earth!
14“Build a large boat* from cypress
wood* and waterproof it with tar, inside
and out. Then construct decks and stalls
throughout its interior. 15Make the boat
450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet
high.* 16Leave an 18-inch opening* below the roof all the way around the boat.
Put the door on the side, and build three
decks inside the boat—lower, middle,
and upper.
17“Look! I am about to cover the earth
with a flood that will destroy every living
thing that breathes. Everything on earth
