Genesis 6:1-6 (Complete Jewish Bible)
View In My Bible
1
In time, when men began to multiply on earth, and daughters were born to them,
2
the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were attractive; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.
3
ADONAI said, "My Spirit will not live in human beings forever, for they too are flesh; therefore their life span is to be 120 years."
4
The N'filim were on the earth in those days, and also afterwards, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them; these were the ancient heroes, men of renown.
5
ADONAI saw that the people on earth were very wicked, that all the imaginings of their hearts were always of evil only.
6
ADONAI regretted that he had made humankind on the earth; it grieved his heart.
