15 Mahalalel lived sixty-five years, and became the father of Jared.

31 So all the days of Lamech were seven hundred and seventy-seven years, and he died.
32 Noah was afive hundred years old, and Noah became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
1 Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them,
2 that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were 1beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.
3 Then the Lord said, “aMy Spirit shall not 1strive with man forever, 2bbecause he also is flesh; 3nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”
4 The aNephilim were 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 saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that aevery intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 aThe Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was bgrieved 1in His heart.
7 The Lord said, “aI will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the 1sky; for bI am sorry that I have made them.”
8 But aNoah bfound favor in the eyes of the Lord.
9 These are the records of the generations of Noah. Noah was a arighteous man, 1bblameless in his 2time; Noah cwalked with God.
10 Noah 1became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 Now the earth was acorrupt in the sight of God, and the earth was bfilled with violence.
12 God looked on the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for aall flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.
13 Then God said to Noah, “aThe end of all flesh has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth.
14 “Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood; you shall make the ark with rooms, and shall 1cover it inside and out with pitch.
15 “This is how you shall make it: the length of the ark three hundred 1cubits, its breadth fifty 1cubits, and its height thirty 1cubits.
16 “You shall make a 1window for the ark, and finish it to a cubit from 2the top; and set the door of the ark in the side of it; you shall make it with lower, second, and third decks.
17 “Behold, aI, even I am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall perish.
18 “But I will establish aMy covenant with you; and byou shall enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.
19 “aAnd of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every kind into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.
20 “aOf the birds after their kind, and of the animals after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive.
21 “As for you, take for yourself some of all afood which is edible, and gather it to yourself; and it shall be for food for you and for them.”
22 aThus Noah did; according to all that God had commanded him, so he did.
1 Then the Lord said to Noah, “Enter the ark, you and all your household, for you alone I have seen to be arighteous before Me in this 1time.
2 “You shall take 1with you of every aclean animal 2by sevens, a male and his female; and of the animals that are not clean two, a male and his female;
3 also of the birds of the 1sky, 2by sevens, male and female, to keep 3offspring alive on the face of all the earth.
4 “For after aseven more days, I will send rain on the earth bforty days and forty nights; and I will blot out from the face of the land cevery living thing that I have made.”
5 aNoah did according to all that the Lord had commanded him.
6 Now Noah was asix hundred years old when the flood of water 1came upon the earth.
7 Then aNoah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him entered the ark because of the water of the flood.
8 aOf clean animals and animals that are not clean and birds and everything that creeps on the ground,
9 there went into the ark to Noah 1by twos, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 It came about after athe seven days, that the water of the flood 1came upon the earth.
11 In the asix hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all bthe fountains of the great deep burst open, and the 1floodgates of the sky were opened.
12 aThe rain 1fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.
13 On the very same day aNoah and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark,
14 they and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after 1their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, 2all sorts of birds.
15 So they went into the ark to Noah, aby twos of all flesh in which was the breath of life.
16 Those that entered, male and female of all flesh, entered as God had commanded him; and the Lord closed it behind him.
17 Then the flood 1came upon the earth for aforty days, and the water increased and lifted up the ark, so that it rose above the earth.
18 The water prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth, and the ark 1floated on the 2surface of the water.
19 The water prevailed more and more upon the earth, so that all the high mountains 1everywhere under the heavens were covered.
20 The water prevailed fifteen 1cubits higher, aand the mountains were covered.
21 aAll flesh that 1moved on the earth perished, birds and cattle and beasts and every swarming thing that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind;
22 of all that was on the dry land, all ain whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died.
23 Thus He blotted out 1every living thing that was upon the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the 2sky, and they were blotted out from the earth; and only aNoah was left, together with those that were with him in the ark.
24 aThe water prevailed upon the earth one hundred and fifty days.
