Populaarsed piiblisalmid Genesis 6

The LORD regretted that he had made humankind on the earth, and he was highly offended.

But the LORD saw that the wickedness of humankind had become great on the earth. Every inclination of the thoughts of their minds was only evil all the time.

But Noah found favor in the sight of the LORD.

This is the account of Noah. Noah was a godly man; he was blameless among his contemporaries. He walked with God.

So the LORD said, “I will wipe humankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth – everything from humankind to animals, including creatures that move on the ground and birds of the air, for I regret that I have made them.”

When humankind began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of humankind were beautiful. Thus they took wives for themselves from any they chose. So the LORD said, “My spirit will not remain in humankind indefinitely, since they are mortal. They will remain for 120 more years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days (and also after this) when the sons of God were having sexual relations with the daughters of humankind, who gave birth to their children. They were the mighty heroes of old, the famous men.

And Noah did all that God commanded him – he did indeed.

So God said to Noah, “I have decided that all living creatures must die, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. Now I am about to destroy them and the earth.

Make for yourself an ark of cypress wood. Make rooms in the ark, and cover it with pitch inside and out.

God saw the earth, and indeed it was ruined, for all living creatures on the earth were sinful.

You must bring into the ark two of every kind of living creature from all flesh, male and female, to keep them alive with you.
