<center><small>''The wickedness of man.<br/>Noah and the ark.''</small></center>


'''1'''  And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 

'''2'''  That the sons<ref>[[2nd Corinthians, Chapter 6|2 Cor 6:18]]</ref> of God saw the daughters of men that they ''were'' fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose<ref>[[Deuteronomy, Chapter 7|Deu 7:3-4]]</ref>. 

'''3'''  And the LORD said, My spirit<ref>[[Luke, Chapter 19|Luk 19:42]], [[Galatians, Chapter 5|Gal 5:16-17]], [[1st Peter, Chapter 3|1 Pet 3:20]]</ref> shall not always strive with man, for that he also ''is'' flesh<ref>[[Psalm 78|Psa 78:39]]</ref>: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 

'''4'''  There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare ''children'' to them, the same ''became'' mighty men which ''were'' of old, men of renown. 

'''5'''  And GOD saw that the wickedness of man<ref>[[Romans, Chapter 1|Rom 1:28-31]]</ref> was great in the earth, and ''that'' every imagination<ref>[[Genesis, Chapter 8|Gen 8:21]], [[Deuteronomy, Chapter 29|Deu 29:19]], [[Proverbs, Chapter 6|Pro 6:18]], [[Matthew, Chapter 15|Mat 15:19]]</ref> of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 

'''6'''  And it repented<ref>[[1st Samuel, Chapter 15|1 Sam 15:29]], [[1st Samuel, Chapter 15|1 Sam 15:11]], [[Numbers, Chapter 23|Num 23:19]]</ref> the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved<ref>[[Ephesians, Chapter 4|Eph 4:30]], [[Isaiah, Chapter 63|Isa 63:10]]</ref> him at his heart. 

'''7'''  And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. 

'''8'''  But [[Noah]] found grace<ref>[[Genesis, Chapter 19|Gen 19:19]], [[Exodus, Chapter 33|Exo 33:12]], [[Luke, Chapter 1|Luk 1:30]], [[Acts, Chapter 7|Act 7:46]]</ref> in the eyes of the LORD. 

'''9'''  These ''are'' the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man ''and'' perfect in his generations, ''and'' Noah walked with God. 

'''10'''  And Noah begat three sons, [[Shem]], [[Ham]], and [[Japheth]]. 

'''11'''  The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 

'''12'''  And God looked upon the earth<ref>[[Psalm 33|Psa 33:13]], [[Psalm 14|Psa 14:2]]</ref>, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 

'''13'''  And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me<ref>[[Ezekiel, Chapter 7|Eze 7:2]], [[Amos, Chapter 8|Amo 8:2]], [[1st Peter, Chapter 4|1 Pet 4:7]]</ref>; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. 

'''14'''  Make thee an [[Noah's ark|ark]] of gopher wood<ref>An unknown species of tree, with the most likely explanation a mere misspelling of the Hebrew word '''''כּפר''''' ''"kâphar"'' ("pitch")[https://www.gotquestions.org/gopher-wood.html]; this would make it a produced commodity of lumber which has been waterproofed/treated with pitch.</ref>; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch<ref>Also known as "bitumen", pitch has been used since ancient times as a means of waterproofing and binding, and is found occuring naturally in various places world-wide, with the most famous example in modern times being the La Brea Tar Pits, Los Angeles, California.[https://www.thoughtco.com/bitumen-history-of-black-goo-170085]</ref>. 

'''15'''  And this ''is the fashion'' which thou shalt make it ''of'': The length of the ark ''shall be'' three hundred cubits<ref>a unit of measurement, from the end of the elbow to the tip of the middle finger, about 18 inches in length. It should be mentioned that Moses, the author of ''Genesis'', was taught in the Egyptian court, and was aware of the royal cubit (Ancient Egyptian: ''meh niswt'') of 20.61 to 20.83 inches.[https://www.britannica.com/science/cubit]</ref>, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.<ref>Using the minimum size cubit length of 18 inches, the ark was 450 x 75 x 45 feet.</ref>

'''16'''  A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; ''with'' lower, second, and third ''stories'' shalt thou make it. 

'''17'''  And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh<ref>[[2nd Peter, Chapter 2|2 Pet 2:5]]</ref>, wherein ''is'' the breath of life, from under heaven; ''and'' every thing that ''is'' in the earth shall die<ref>[[Romans, Chapter 5|Rom 5:12,14]]</ref>. 

'''18'''  But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee. 

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

'''20'''  Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every ''sort'' shall come unto thee, to keep ''them'' alive. 

'''21'''  And take thou unto thee of all food<ref>[[Genesis, Chapter 1|Gen 1:29-30]]</ref> that is eaten, and thou shalt gather ''it'' to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them. 

'''22'''  Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he<ref>[[Hebrews, Chapter 11|Heb 11:7]], [[Genesis, Chapter 7|Gen 7:5]]</ref>.
