Notes

11. And Lamech was one hundred and eighty years old when he took Ashmua, the daughter
of Elishaa the son of Enoch his uncle, and she conceived.
12. And at that time the sons of men sowed the ground, and a little food was produced, yet
the sons of men did not turn from their evil ways, and they trespassed and rebelled
against God.
13. And the wife of Lamech conceived and bare him a son at that time, at the revolution of
the year.
14. And Methuselah called his name Noah, saying, The earth was in his days at rest and
free from corruption, and Lamech his father called his name Menachem, saying, This
one shall comfort us in our works and miserable toil in the earth, which God had cursed.
15. And the child grew up and was weaned, and he went in the ways of his father
Methuselah, perfect and upright with God.
16. And all the sons of men departed from the ways of the Lord in those days as they
multiplied upon the face of the earth with sons and daughters, and they taught one
another their evil practices and they continued sinning against the Lord.
17. And every man made unto himself a god, and they robbed and plundered every man his
neighbor as well as his relative, and they corrupted the earth, and the earth was filled
with violence.
18. And their judges and rulers went to the daughters of men and took their wives by force
from their husbands according to their choice, and the sons of men in those days took
from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and taught the
mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke the
Lord; and God saw the whole earth and it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its
ways upon earth, all men and all animals.
19. And the Lord said, I will blot out man that I created from the face of the earth, yea from
man to the birds of the air, together with cattle and beasts that are in the field for I
repent that I made them.
20. And all men who walked in the ways of the Lord, died in those days, before the Lord
brought the evil upon man which he had declared, for this was from the Lord, that they
should not see the evil which the Lord spoke of concerning the sons of men.
21. And Noah found grace in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord chose him and his children
to raise up seed from them upon the face of the whole earth.
