The man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me from the tree, and I ate.”
-
Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” And the woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
-
He said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying to Me from the ground.
-
Behold, You have driven me this day from the face of the ground; and from Your face I will be hidden, and I will be a vagrant and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.”
-
Now to Enoch was born Irad, and Irad became the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael became the father of Methushael, and Methushael became the father of Lamech.
-
Lamech said to his wives, “Adah and Zillah, Listen to my voice, You wives of Lamech, Give heed to my speech, For I have killed a man for wounding me; And a boy for striking me;
-
Adam had relations with his wife again; and she gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, for, she said, “God has appointed me another offspring in place of Abel, for Cain killed him.”
-
To Seth, to him also a son was born; and he called his name Enosh. Then men began to call upon the name of the Lord.
-
Enoch lived sixty-five years, and became the father of Methuselah.
-
Then Enoch walked with God three hundred years after he became the father of Methuselah, and he had other sons and daughters.
-
Methuselah lived one hundred and eighty-seven years, and became the father of Lamech.
-
Then Methuselah lived seven hundred and eighty-two years after he became the father of Lamech, and he had other sons and daughters.
-
So all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred and sixty-nine years, and he died.

The Corruption of Mankind
Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them,
-
that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.
-
The Nephilim were on the earth in those 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.

Then God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth.

The Flood
Then the Lord said to Noah, “Enter the ark, you and all your household, for you alone I have seen to be righteous before Me in this time.
-
God said, “This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all successive generations;
-
I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.
-
and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh.
-
And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
-
The sons of Japheth were Gomer and Magog and Madai and Javan and Tubal and Meshech and Tiras.
-
Now their settlement extended from Mesha as you go toward Sephar, the hill country of the east.
-
The Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.
