Genesis 6

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

²that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were fair; and they took for themselves wives of all whom they chose.

³And the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not always strive with man, for he also is flesh; yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years."

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

⁵And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagining of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

⁶And the LORD repented that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him in His heart.

⁷And 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 I repent that I have made them."

⁸But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

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

¹⁰And Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

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

¹²And God looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.

¹³And God said unto 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.

¹⁴Make thee an ark of gopherwood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt cover it within and without with pitch.

¹⁵And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: the length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.

¹⁶A window shalt thou make for the ark, and to 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.

¹⁷And behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth to destroy all flesh wherein is the breath of life from under heaven; and every thing that is on the earth shall die.

¹⁸But 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.

¹⁹And 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.

²⁰Of 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.

²¹And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be food for thee and for them."

²²Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.

Genesis 4

And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, "I have gotten a man from the LORD."

     ²And she again bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
     ³And in process of time it came to pass that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
     ⁴And Abel also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering;
     ⁵but unto Cain and to his offering He had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
     ⁶And the LORD said unto Cain, "Why art thou wroth? And why is thy countenance fallen?
     ⁷If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? And if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him."
     ⁸And Cain talked with Abel his brother; and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and slew him.
     ⁹And the LORD said unto Cain, "Where is Abel thy brother?" And he said, "I know not. Am I my brother's keeper?"
     ¹⁰And He said, "What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto Me from the ground.
     ¹¹And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand.
     ¹²When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength. A fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be on the earth."
     ¹³And Cain said unto the LORD, "My punishment is greater than I can bear.
     ¹⁴Behold, Thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth, and from Thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond on the earth. And it shall come to pass that every one who findeth me shall slay me."
     ¹⁵And the LORD said unto him, "Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold." And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
     ¹⁶And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod to the east of Eden.
     ¹⁷And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch.
     ¹⁸And unto Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael, and Mehujael begot Methushael, and Methushael begot Lamech.
     ¹⁹And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
     ²⁰And Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents, and of those who have cattle.
     ²¹And his brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all those who handle the harp and organ.
     ²²And Zillah, she also bore Tubalcain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron; and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
     ²³And Lamech said unto his wives, "Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech! For I have slain a man for my wounding, and a young man for my hurt.
     ²⁴If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold."
     ²⁵And Adam knew his wife again; and she bore a son and called his name Seth. "For God," said she, "hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew."
     ²⁶And to Seth also there was born a son, and he called his name Enosh. Then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
