1 Now when men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God {Elohim} saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they took as wives whomever they chose. 3 So the LORD {YHWH} said, “My Spirit {Ruahi} will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days shall be 120 years.” 4 The Nephilim (giants) were on the earth in those days—and afterward as well—when the sons of God {Elohim} had relations with the daughters of men. And they bore them children who became the mighty men of old, men of renown. 5 Then the LORD {YHWH} saw that the wickedness of man was great upon the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was altogether evil all the time. 6 And the LORD {YHWH} regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. 7 So the LORD {YHWH} said, “I will blot out man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—every man and beast and crawling creature and bird of the air—for I am grieved that I have made them.” 8 Noah (comfort), found favor in the eyes of the LORD {YHWH}. 9 This is the account of Noah (comfort). Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation; Noah walked with God {Elohim}. Genesis 6:1-9, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
