Genesis 6 – Studienbibel

1 And it came to pass, when men120 began2490 to multiply7231 on5921 the face6440 of the earth127, and daughters1323 were born3205 unto them, 2 That the sons1121 of God430 saw7200 the daughters1323 of men120 that they2007 were fair2896; and they took3947 them wives802 of all which they chose977.

3 And the LORD3068 said559, My spirit7307 shall not always5769 strive1777 with man120, for that he also1571 is flesh1320 7683: yet his days3117 shall be an hundred3967 and twenty6242 years8141.

4 There were giants5303 in the earth776 in those days3117; and also after310 that3651, when834 the sons1121 of God430 came in935 unto the daughters1323 of men120, and they bare3205 children to them, the same1992 became mighty men1368 which were of old5769, men582 of renown8034. 5 And GOD3068 saw7200 that the wickedness7451 of man120 was great7227 in the earth776, and that every imagination3336 of the thoughts4284 of his heart3820 was only7535 evil7451 continually3117.¹²

6 And it repented5162 the LORD3068 that he had made6213 man120 on the earth776, and it grieved6087 him at413 his heart3820. 7 And the LORD3068 said559, I will destroy4229 man120 whom I have created1254 from the face6440 of the earth127; both man120, and5704 beast929, and the creeping thing7431, and the fowls5775 of the air8064; for it repenteth5162 me that I have made6213 them.³

8 But Noah5146 found4672 grace2580 in the eyes5869 of the LORD3068. 9 These are the generations8435 of Noah5146: Noah5146 was a just6662 man376 and perfect8549 in his generations1755, and Noah5146 walked1980 with God430.⁴ 10 And Noah5146 begat3205 three7969 sons1121, Shem8035, Ham2526, and Japheth3315.

11 The earth776 also was corrupt7843 before6440 God430, and the earth776 was filled4390 with violence2555. 12 And God430 looked7200 upon the earth776, and, behold, it was corrupt7843; for all flesh1320 had corrupted7843 his way1870 upon the earth776.

13 And God430 said559 unto Noah5146, The end7093 of all flesh1320 is come935 before me6440; for the earth776 is filled with4390 violence2555 through them6440; and, behold, I will destroy7843 them with854 the earth776.⁵ 14 Make6213 thee an ark8392 of gopher1613 wood6086; rooms7064 shalt thou make6213 in854 the ark8392, and shalt pitch3722 it within1004 and without2351 with pitch3724.⁶ 15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make6213 it of: The length753 of the ark8392 shall be three7969 hundred3967 cubits520, the breadth7341 of it fifty2572 cubits520, and the height6967 of it thirty7970 cubits520. 16 A window6672 shalt thou make6213 to the ark8392, and in a cubit520 shalt thou finish3615 it above4605; and the door6607 of the ark8392 shalt thou set7760 in the side thereof6654; with lower8482, second8145, and third7992 stories shalt thou make6213 it. 17 And, behold2009, I589, even I, do bring935 a flood3999 of waters4325 upon the earth776, to destroy7843 all flesh1320, wherein is the breath7307 of life2416, from under8478 heaven8064; and every thing3605 that is in the earth776 shall die1478. 18 But with thee will I establish6965 my covenant1285; and thou shalt come935 into413 the ark8392, thou859, and thy sons1121, and thy wife802, and thy sons'1121 wives802 with thee. 19 And of every living thing2416 of all flesh1320, two8147 of every sort shalt thou bring935 into the ark8392, to keep them alive2421 with thee; they shall be male2145 and female5347. 20 Of fowls5775 after their kind4327, and of cattle929 after their kind4327, of every creeping thing7431 of the earth127 after his kind4327, two8147 of every sort shall come935 unto thee, to keep them alive2421. 21 And take3947 thou unto thee of all food3978 that is eaten398, and thou shalt gather622 it to thee; and it shall be for food402 for thee, and for them.

22 Thus did6213 Noah5146; according to all that God430 commanded6680 him, so did6213 he.
