Genesis 5-6New King James Version (NKJV)
The Family of Adam
5 This is the book of the genealogy of Adam. In
the day that God created man, He made him in the likeness of God. 2 He
created them male and female, and blessed them and called them Mankind in the
day they were created. 3 And Adam lived one hundred
and thirty years, and begot a son in his own likeness, after
his image, and named him Seth. 4 After he begot
Seth, the days of Adam were eight hundred years; and he had sons and daughters. 5 So
all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died.
6 Seth lived one hundred and five
years, and begot Enosh. 7 After he begot Enosh,
Seth lived eight hundred and seven years, and had sons and daughters. 8 So
all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years; and he died.
9 Enosh lived ninety years, and begot
Cainan.[a] 10 After he
begot Cainan, Enosh lived eight hundred and fifteen years, and had sons and
daughters. 11 So all the days of Enosh were nine
hundred and five years; and he died.
12 Cainan lived seventy years, and
begot Mahalalel. 13 After he begot Mahalalel,
Cainan lived eight hundred and forty years, and had sons and daughters. 14 So
all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years; and he died.
15 Mahalalel lived sixty-five years,
and begot Jared. 16 After he begot Jared, Mahalalel
lived eight hundred and thirty years, and had sons and daughters. 17 So
all the days of Mahalalel were eight hundred and ninety-five years; and he
died.
18 Jared lived one hundred and
sixty-two years, and begot Enoch. 19 After he begot
Enoch, Jared lived eight hundred years, and had sons and daughters. 20 So
all the days of Jared were nine hundred and sixty-two years; and he died.
21 Enoch lived sixty-five years, and
begot Methuselah. 22 After he begot Methuselah,
Enoch walked with God three hundred years, and had sons and daughters. 23 So
all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. 24 And
Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.
25 Methuselah lived one hundred and
eighty-seven years, and begot Lamech. 26 After he
begot Lamech, Methuselah lived seven hundred and eighty-two years, and had sons
and daughters. 27 So all the days of Methuselah
were nine hundred and sixty-nine years; and he died.
28 Lamech lived one hundred and
eighty-two years, and had a son. 29 And he called
his name Noah, saying, “This one will comfort us concerning
our work and the toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord has
cursed.” 30 After he begot Noah, Lamech lived five
hundred and ninety-five years, and had sons and daughters. 31 So
all the days of Lamech were seven hundred and seventy-seven years; and he died.
32 And Noah was five hundred years
old, and Noah begot Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
The Wickedness and Judgment of Man
6 Now it came to pass, when men began to
multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that
the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful;
and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.
3 And the Lord said, “My
Spirit shall not strive[b] with man forever, for he is indeed
flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” 4 There
were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of
God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to
them. Those were the mighty men who were of
old, men of renown.
5 Then the Lord[c] saw that the wickedness of man was great
in the earth, and thatevery intent of the thoughts of his heart was only
evil continually. 6 And the Lord was
sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. 7 So
the Lord said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face
of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am
sorry that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found
grace in the eyes of the Lord.
Noah Pleases God
9 This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah
was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God. 10 And
Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 The earth also was corrupt before
God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 So
God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had
corrupted their way on the earth.
The Ark Prepared
13 And God said to Noah, “The end of
all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through
them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.14 Make
yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and
outside with pitch. 15 And this is how you shall
make it: The length of the ark shall bethree hundred cubits, its
width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits. 16 You
shall make a window for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above;
and set the door of the ark in its side. You shall make it with lower,
second, and third decks. 17 And behold,
I Myself am bringing floodwaters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all
flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on
the earth shall die. 18 But I will establish My
covenant with you; and you shall go into the ark—you, your sons, your wife, and
your sons’ wives with you. 19 And 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. 20 Of the birds after their kind, of
animals after their kind, and of every creeping thing of the earth after its
kind, two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive. 21 And
you shall take for yourself of all food that is eaten, and you shall gather it to
yourself; and it shall be food for you and for them.”
22 Thus Noah did; according to all
that God commanded him, so he did.
