God displeased because Noah's daughters sell themselves -- Noah declares the gospel -- The earth filled with violence -- The flood foretold -- The ark made -- Commandment of Noah -- Two by two, the male and his female saved -- The ark rests, the waters abate.

¹⁾And itNoah cameand tohis passsons hearkened unto the Lord, and gave heed; and they were called the sons of God.

²⁾And when these men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2)That the sons of Godmen saw thethat their daughters of men that they were fair;, and they took them wives ofeven all whichas they chose.

³⁾And the LORDLord said unto Noah, The daughters of thy sons have sold themselves, for behold, mine anger is kindled against the sons of men, for they will not hearken to my voice.

⁴⁾And it came to pass, that Noah prophesied, and taught the things of God, even as it was in the beginning.

⁵⁾And the Lord said unto Noah, My spiritSpirit shall not always strive with man, for he shall know that he also isall flesh: shall die, yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4)There; wereand giantsif men do not repent, I will send in the earthfloods upon them.

⁶⁾And in those days there were giants on the earth, and they sought Noah to take away his life;

⁷⁾But the Lord was with Noah, and the power of the Lord was upon him; and the Lord ordained Noah after his own order, and commanded him that he should go forth and declare his gospel unto the children of men, even as it was given unto Enoch.

⁸⁾And it came to pass that Noah called upon the children of men, that they should repent, but they hearkened not unto his words.

⁹⁾And also, after that they had heard him, whenthey came up before him, saying, Behold, we are the sons of God, camehave inwe not taken unto ourselves the daughters of men? and are we not eating and drinking, and theymarrying bareand given in marriage? and our wives bear unto us children, to them,and the same becameare mighty men, which wereare like unto them of old, men of great renown. And they hearkened not unto the words of Noah.

⁵¹⁰⁾And God saw that the wickedness of man washad become great in the earth,; and thatevery everyman was lifted up in the imagination of the thoughts of his heart; wasbeing only evil continually.

⁶¹¹⁾And it came to pass, that Noah continued his preaching unto the people, saying, Hearken and give heed unto my words, believe and repent of your sins and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, even as our fathers did, and ye shall receive the Holy Ghost, that ye may have all things made manifest;

¹²⁾And if you do not this, the floods will come in upon you; nevertheless, they hearkened not.

¹³⁾And it repented theNoah, LORDand his heart was pained, that hethe Lord had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

⁷¹⁴⁾And the LORDLord said, I will destroy man whom I have created, from the face of the earth;, both man, and beast, and the creeping thingthings, and the fowls of the air; for.

¹⁵⁾For it repenteth meNoah that I have created them, and that I have made them; and he hath called upon me, for they have sought his life.

¹³¹⁸⁾And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them;, and, behold, I will destroy themall withflesh from off the earth.

¹⁴¹⁹⁾Make thee therefore, an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and thou shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.;

¹⁵²⁰⁾And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shallthou beshalt make three hundred cubits,; the breadth of it fifty cubits,; and the height of it thirty cubits.

¹⁶²¹⁾AAnd windowwindows shalt thou make to the ark, and in 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 storieschambers shalt thou make in it.

¹⁷²²⁾And, behold, I, even I, dowill bring in a flood of waterswater upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that isliveth inon the earth shall die.

¹⁸²³⁾But with thee will I establish my covenant;, andeven as I have sworn unto thy father, Enoch, that of thy posterity shall come all nations.

²⁴⁾And thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with theethem.

¹⁹²⁵⁾And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sortkind shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.

²⁰²⁶⁾Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind,; two of every sortkind shallshalt comethou untotake theeinto the ark, to keep them alive.

²¹²⁷⁾And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather itfruit toof every kind unto thee; in the ark, and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.

³³¹⁾Of fowls also of the air, by sevens, the male and thehis female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

⁴³²⁾For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days, and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.

⁵⁵⁰⁾And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month:; and in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.

⁶⁵¹⁾And it came to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made: 7)And, and he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.

⁸⁵²⁾AlsoHe healso sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground; 9)But but the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters werehad onnot receded from off the face of the whole earth:; then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.

¹⁰⁵³⁾And he stayed yet other seven days;, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark; 11)And, and the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off:; so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
