Genesis 6:10

Verse 10 of 22. The 6th of 50 chapters in Genesis, in The Law.

6The LORD was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.

7The LORD said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the surface of the ground—man, along with animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky—for I am sorry that I have made them.”

8But Noah found favor in the LORD’s eyes.

9This is the history of the generations of Noah: Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.

10Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

11The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

12God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.

13God said to Noah, “I will bring an end to all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them and the earth.

14Make a ship of gopher wood. You shall make rooms in the ship, and shall seal it inside and outside with pitch.
