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.

Then the
LORD said, "My
Spirit shall not
strive with
man forever,
because he
also is
flesh; nevertheless his
days shall be one
hundred and
twenty years."

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 the
LORD saw that the
wickedness of
man was
great on the
earth, and that
every intent of the
thoughts of his

only evil continually *.

The

sky; for I
am sorry that I have
made them."
