ADONAI regretted that he had made humankind on the earth; it grieved his heart.

ADONAI saw that the people on earth were very wicked, that all the imaginings of their hearts were always of evil only.

But Noach found grace in the sight of ADONAI.

Here is the history of Noach. In his generation, Noach was a man righteous and wholehearted; Noach walked with God.

ADONAI said, “I will wipe out humankind, whom I have created, from the whole earth; and not only human beings, but animals, creeping things and birds in the air; for I regret that I ever made them.”

In time, when men began to multiply on earth, and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were attractive; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose. ADONAI said, “My Spirit will not live in human beings forever, for they too are flesh; therefore their life span is to be 120 years.” The N’filim were on the earth in those days, and also afterwards, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them; these were the ancient heroes, men of renown. (Maftir)

This is what Noach did; he did all that God ordered him to do.

God said to Noach, “The end of all living beings has come before me, for because of them the earth is filled with violence. I will destroy them along with the earth.

Make yourself an ark of gofer-wood; you are to make the ark with rooms and cover it with pitch both outside and inside.

God saw the earth, and, yes, it was corrupt; for all living beings had corrupted their ways on the earth.

“From everything living, from each kind of living being, you are to bring two into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they are to be male and female.
