Genesis 6:1-8

Listen to Genesis 6:1-8
1 Und es geschah, als die Menschen begannen sich zu mehren auf der Fläche des Erdbodens, und ihnen Töchter geboren wurden,
2 da sahen die Söhne Gottes, daß die Töchter der Menschen schön waren, und sie nahmen sich zu Weibern, welche sie irgend erwählten.
3 Und Jehova sprach: Mein Geist soll nicht ewiglich mit dem Menschen rechten, da er ja Fleisch ist; und seine Tage seien hundertzwanzig Jahre.
4 In jenen Tagen waren die Riesen auf der Erde, und auch nachher, als die Söhne Gottes zu den Töchtern der Menschen eingingen und diese ihnen gebaren. Das sind die Helden, welche von alters her waren, die Männer von Ruhm gewesen sind.
5 Und Jehova sah, daß des Menschen Bosheit groß war auf Erden und alles Gebilde der Gedanken seines Herzens nur böse den ganzen Tag.
6 Und es reute Jehova, daĂź er den Menschen gemacht hatte auf der Erde, und es schmerzte ihn in sein Herz hinein.
7 Und Jehova sprach: Ich will den Menschen, den ich geschaffen habe, von der Fläche des Erdbodens vertilgen, vom Menschen bis zum Vieh, bis zum Gewürm und bis zum Gevögel des Himmels; denn es reut mich, daß ich sie gemacht habe.
8 Noah aber fand Gnade in den Augen Jehovas.
