Wickedness and Noah's Ark in Genesis 6

The sons of God intermarried with human women, resulting in the Nephilim. God saw that humanity had become increasingly wicked and violent, so he decided to wipe out humanity with a flood, but found Noah to be righteous. God instructed Noah to build an ark and told him that he would bring floodwaters to destroy all life, but would establish a covenant with Noah to have him and his family enter the ark along with animal pairs to repopulate the earth after the flood. Noah obediently did all that God commanded regarding building the ark.

GENESIS 6

Wickedness in the World

1When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2the
sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they
chose. 3Then the Lordsaid, “My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal; their
days will be a hundred and twenty years.”

4The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the
daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.

5The Lordsaw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every
inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. 6The Lordregretted that he had
made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7So the Lordsaid, “I will wipe from
the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the
creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.” 8But Noah found favor in
the eyes of the Lord.

Noah and the Flood

9This is the account of Noah and his family.

Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with
God. 10Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth.

11Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. 12God saw how corrupt the earth
had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. 13So God said to Noah, “I am going to
put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to
destroy both them and the earth. 14So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat
it with pitch inside and out. 15This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long,
fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high. 16Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one
cubit high all around. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks. 17I am
going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the
breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish. 18But I will establish my covenant with you, and you
will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you. 19You are to bring
into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. 20Two of every
kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come
to you to be kept alive. 21You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food
for you and for them.”

22Noah did everything just as God commanded him.
