the Wickedness of mankind








When mankind had spread all over the world, and girls were being born, some of the heavenly beings saw that these girls were beautiful, so they took the ones they liked.

Then the Lord said "I will not allow people to live forever; they are mortal. From now on they will live no longer than 120 years."

In those day's and even later, there were giants on the earth who were descendants of human women and the heavenly beings. They were the great heroes and famous men of long ago. When the Lord saw how wicked everyone on earth was, and how evil their thoughts were all the time, he was sorry that he had made them and put them on earth. He was so filled with regret that he said "I will wipe out these people that I have created, and the animals, and the birds, because I am sorry I made any of them." But the Lord was pleased with Noah.

This is the story of Noah. He had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Noah had no falts and he was the only good man of his time. He lived in fellowship with God, but everyone else was evil in God's sight, and violence had spread everywhere. God looked at the world and saw that it was evil, for the people were all living evil lives.
God said to Noah "I have decided to put an end to all mankind. I will destroy them completely, because the world is full of their violent deeds. Build a boat for yourself out of goood tember; make rooms in it and cover it with tar inside and out. Make it 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. Make a roof for the boat and leave a space of 18 inches between the roof and the sides. Build it with three decks and put a door in the side.
I am going to going to send a flood to destroy every living being. Every living thing will die but I will make a covenant with you. Go in the boat with your wife and sons and their wives. Take into the boat male and female of every kind of animal and of every kind of bird, in order to keep them alive. Take along all kinds of food for you and for them. Noah did everything that God commanded. The Lord said to Noah, "Go into the boat with your whole family; I have found that you are the only one in all the world who does what is right. Take with you seven pairs of each kind of ritually clean animal, but only one pair, but only one pair of every unclean animal, every creaping thing of the ground two of every kind shall come into the ark. And Noah did all that the Lord commanded him.






Noah was six hundered years old when the flood of waters came upon the earth. And Noah and his Wife and his sons and his sons wives went into the ark to escape the waters of the floods. Of clean animal and of animals that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that creeps on the ground two and two male and female went into the ark with Noah as God has commanded Noah. And after seven day's the waters of the flood came upon the earth.






In the six hunderedth year of Noah's life, on the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst fourth, and the windows of the heavens we opened. And rain fell on the earth forty day's and forty nights. On the very same day Noah and his sons Ham and Shem and Japheth and Noah's wife and Noah's three wives of his sons with him entered the ark, they and every beas,t according to their kind, and all the live stock according to their kinds, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth according to it's kind, and of every bird according to it's kind, every wings creature.






They went into the ark with Noah two and two of all flesh in witch was a breath of life. And those that entered male and female went in as God has commanded him. And God shut him in.






The flood continued forty day's on the earth. The waters increased and bore up the ark, and it rose high above the earth. The waters prevailed and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the face of the waters. And the waters prevailed mightily that all the high mountains under the heavens were covered. The waters prevailed covering the mountains fifteen cubits deep. And all flesh died that moved on the earth, birds, livestock, beasts, all swarming creatures that swarm on the earth, and all mankind. Everything that was on dry land in whose nostrils was the breath of life died. He blotted out every living thing of the face of the ground man, animal, creeping things and birds of the heavens. They were blotted out from the earth. Only Noah was left and those that were with him in the ark. And the waters prevailed 150 day's.
