005:022 Enoch walked with God after he became the father of Methuselah
three hundred years, and became the father of sons and daughters.
005:023 All the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty-five years.
005:024 Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him.
005:025 Methuselah lived one hundred eighty-seven years, and became
the father of Lamech.
005:026 Methuselah lived after he became the father of Lamech seven hundred
eighty-two years, and became the father of sons and daughters.
005:027 All the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty-nine years,
then he died.
005:028 Lamech lived one hundred eighty-two years, and became the father
of a son,
005:029 and he named him Noah, saying, "This same will comfort us
in our work and in the toil of our hands, because of the ground
which Yahweh has cursed."
005:030 Lamech lived after he became the father of Noah five hundred
ninety-five years, and became the father of sons and daughters.
005:031 All the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy-seven years,
then he died.

006:001 It happened, when men began to multiply on the surface
of the ground, and daughters were born to them,
006:002 that God's sons saw that men's daughters were beautiful,
and they took for themselves wives of all that they chose.
006:003 Yahweh said, "My Spirit will not strive with man forever,
because he also is flesh; yet will his days be one
hundred twenty years."
006:004 The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also
after that, when God's sons came in to men's daughters.
They bore children to them. Those were the mighty men
who were of old, men of renown.
006:005 Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth,
and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was
only evil continually.
006:006 Yahweh was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it
grieved him in his heart.
006:007 Yahweh said, "I will destroy man whom I have created
from the surface of the ground; man, along with animals,
creeping things, and birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I
have made them."
006:008 But Noah found favor in Yahweh's eyes.
006:009 This is the history of the generations of Noah. Noah was
a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time.
Noah walked with God.
006:010 Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
006:011 The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was
filled with violence.
006:012 God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh
had corrupted their way on the earth.
006:013 God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before me,
for the earth is filled with violence through them.
