Genesis 5:32-6:4
New King James Version
32 And Noah was five hundred years old, and Noah begot (A)Shem, Ham, (B)and Japheth.
The Wickedness and Judgment of Man
6 Now it came to pass, (C)when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they (D)took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.
3 And the Lord said, (E)“My Spirit shall not (F)strive[a] with man forever, (G)for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” 4 There were [b]giants on the earth in those (H)days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
