This is the record of the generations of Adam. When God created Adam, he made him in the likeness of God. Male and female he created them. And he blessed them. And he called their name “Humankind” when they were created. And when Adam had lived one hundred and thirty years, he fathered a child in his likeness, according to his image. And he called his name Seth. And the days of Adam after he fathered Seth were eight hundred years. And he fathered sons and daughters. And all the days of Adam which he lived were nine hundred and thirty years, and he died. When Seth had lived one hundred and five years, he fathered Enosh. And after Seth had fathered Enosh he lived eight hundred and seven years, and fathered sons and daughters. And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years, and he died. When Enosh lived ninety years, he fathered Kenan. And after Enosh fathered Kenan he lived eight hundred and fifteen years, and fathered sons and daughters. And all the days of Enosh were nine hundred and five years, and he died. When Kenan had lived seventy years, he fathered Mahalalel. And after Kenan had fathered Mahalalel, he lived eight hundred and forty years, and fathered sons and daughters. And all the days of Kenan were nine hundred and ten years, and he died. When Mahalalel had lived sixty-five years, he fathered Jared. And after Mahalalel had fathered Jared, he lived eight hundred and thirty years, and fathered sons and daughters. And all the days of Mahalalel were eight hundred and ninety-five years, and he died. When Jared had lived one hundred and sixty-two years, he fathered Enoch. And after Jared had fathered Enoch, he lived eight hundred years, and fathered sons and daughters. And all the days of Jared were nine hundred and sixty-two years, and he died. When Enoch had lived sixty-five years, he fathered Methuselah. And Enoch walked with God after he fathered Methuselah three hundred years, and fathered sons and daughters. And all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. And Enoch walked with God, and he was no more, for God took him. When Methuselah had lived one hundred and eighty-seven years, he fathered Lamech. And after Methuselah had fathered Lamech, he lived seven hundred and eighty-two years, and fathered sons and daughters. And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred and sixty-nine years, and he died. When Lamech had lived one hundred and eighty-two years, he fathered a son. And he called his name Noah, saying, “This one shall relieve us from our work, and from the hard labor of our hands, from the ground which Yahweh had cursed. And after Lamech had fathered Noah he lived five hundred and ninety-five years, and he fathered sons and daughters. All the days of Lamech were seven hundred and seventy-seven years, and he died. When Noah was five hundred years old, Noah fathered Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And it happened that, when humankind began to multiply on the face of the ground, daughters were born to them. Then the sons of God saw the daughters of humankind, that they were beautiful. And they took for themselves wives from all that they chose. And Yahweh said, “My Spirit shall not abide with humankind forever in that he is also flesh. And his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” The Nephilim were upon the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God went into the daughters of humankind, and they bore children to them. These were the mighty warriors that were from ancient times, men of renown. And Yahweh saw that the evil of humankind was great upon the earth, and every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was always only evil. And Yahweh regretted that he had made humankind on the earth, and he was grieved in his heart. And Yahweh said, “I will destroy humankind whom I created from upon the face of the earth, from humankind, to animals, to creeping things, and to the birds of heaven, for I regret that I have made them.” But Noah found favor in the eyes of Yahweh. These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, without defect in his generations. Noah walked with God. And Noah fathered three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And the earth was corrupted before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth. And God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before me, for the earth was filled with violence because of them. Now, look, I am going to destroy them along with the earth. Make for yourself an ark of cypress wood; you must make the ark with rooms, then you must cover it with pitch, inside and outside. And this is how you must make it: the length of the ark, three hundred cubits; its width fifty cubits; its height, thirty cubits. You must make a roof for the ark, and finish it to a cubit above. And as for the door of the ark, you must put it in its side. You must make it with a lower, second, and a third deck. And I, behold, I am about to bring the flood waters over the earth to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life from under the heaven; everything that is on the earth shall perish. And I will establish my covenant with you, and you must go into the ark—you, and your sons, and your wife, and the wives of your sons with you. And of every living thing, from all flesh, you must bring two from every kind into the ark to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female. From the birds according to their kind, and from the animals according to their kind, from every creeping thing on the ground according to its kind—two from every kind shall come to you to keep them alive. And as for you, take for yourself from every kind of food that is eaten. And you must gather it to yourself. And it shall be for you and for them for food.” And Noah did according to all that God commanded him; thus he did.
