Chapter Account:
It happened that as men started multiplying on earth, they had daughters. The sons of God were fascinated by the daughter’s of men’s beauty, and they married them. Then, God decided that His spirit will be at peace with man since man is flesh, however, man will only live for one hundred and twenty years old. Giants were present in the world at the time, and children from the union the sons of God and the daughters of men became prominent great men of old times. However, God observed that men’s iniquity was intense, and their minds and notion consistently turned wicked. God regretted to have created man on earth, and it saddened His heart. So, God said that He would wipe out man and all other creatures from the earth's surface because he regretted ever making them. However, Noah found grace in the Lord’s eyes. These are the report Noah and his household: He was a righteous and flawless man in his generations, and he walked loyally with God. Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. The world was also immoral to God, and fully violent. He glanced at the world and saw that all were sinful on the planet. So, God told Noah that He had decided to put an end to all men due to their perpetuation of cruelty on earth. God asked Noah to build a Gopher wood Ark with rooms, pitched in and out. It should be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet elevated. It should be roofed, leaving an 18 inches space between the rooftop and the sides. It should have three floors with the door on the side. God said He would flood the earth to destroy all living creatures. However, God said He would make His covenant with Noah, and that Noah would enter the ark with his family, also, with two of every living creature – male and female. As well, God instructed Noah to take enough food to sustain him, his family, and the other living creatures through the time. And Noah did exactly as the Lord instructed him.
