Genesis 6 - Revised Standard Version(RSVCI)

1When men began to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters were born to them,

2the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair; and they took to wife such of them as they chose.

3Then the Lord said, “My spirit shall not abide in man for ever, for he is flesh, but his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.”

4 for the ark, and finish it to a cubit above; and set the door of the ark in its side; make it with lower, second, and third decks.

17For behold, I will bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall die.

18But I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall come into the ark, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you.

19And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.

20Of the birds according to their kinds, and of the animals according to their kinds, of every creeping thing of the ground according to its kind, two of every sort shall come in to you, to keep them alive.

21Also take with you every sort of food that is eaten, and store it up; and it shall serve as food for you and for them.”

22Noah did this; he did all that God commanded him.
