1 And it came to pass, when man began to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters were born to them,
2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of man that they were fair; and they took for themselves wives of all who they chose.
3 And Yahweh said, My spirit will not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh: and his days will be 120 years.
4 The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man, and they bore [children] to them: the same were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.
5 And Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 And it repented Yahweh that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7 And Yahweh said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the ground; both man and beast, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens; for it repents me that I have made them.
8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of Yahweh.
9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, [and] perfect in his generations: Noah walked with God.
