5. And God seeing that the wickedness of men was great on the earth, and that all the thought of their heart was bent upon evil at all times,
6. It repented him that he had made man on the earth. And being touched inwardly with sorrow of heart,
7. He said: I will destroy man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth, from man even to beasts, from the creeping thing even to the fowls of the air, for it repenteth me that I have made them.
8. But Noe found grace before the Lord.
9. These are the generations of Noe: Noe was a just and perfect man in his generations, he walked with God.
10. And he begot three sons, Sem, Cham, and Japheth.
11. And the earth was corrupted before God, and was filled with iniquity.
12. And when God had seen that the earth was corrupted (for all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth,)
13. He said to Noe: The end of all flesh is come before me, the earth is filled with iniquity through them, and I will destroy them with the earth.
14. Make thee an ark of timber planks: thou shalt make little rooms in the ark, and thou shalt pitch it within and without.
15. And thus shalt thou make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits: the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
16. Thou shalt make a window in the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish the top of it: and the door of the ark thou shalt set in the side: with lower, middle chambers, and third stories shalt thou make it.
