3. And God said: "My spirit shall not remain in man forever, because he is flesh. And so his days shall be one hundred and twenty years."
4. Now giants were upon the earth in those days. For after the sons of God went in to the daughters of men, and they conceived, these became the powerful ones of ancient times, men of renown.
5. Then God, seeing that the wickedness of men was great upon the earth and that every thought of their heart was intent upon evil at all times,
6. repented that he had made man on the earth. And being touched inwardly with a sorrow of heart,
7. he said, "I will eliminate man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth, from man to other living things, from animals even to the flying things of the air. For it grieves me that I have made them."
8. Yet truly, Noah found grace before the Lord.
9. These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a just man, and yet he was predominate among his generations, for he walked with God.
10. And he conceived three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11. Yet the earth was corrupted before the eyes of God, and it was filled with iniquity.
12. And when God had seen that the earth had been corrupted, (indeed, all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth)
13. he said to Noah: "The end of all flesh has arrived in my sight. The earth has been filled with iniquity by their presence, and I will destroy them, along with the earth.
14. Make yourself an ark from smoothed wood. You shall make little dwelling places in the ark, and you shall smear pitch on the interior and exterior.
15. And thus shall you make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.
