¹ Ja kui inimesi hakkas maa peal palju saama ja neile sündis tütreid,

⁴ Sel ajal, ja veel pärastpoolegi, kui Jumala pojad heitsid inimeste tütarde juurde ja need neile lapsi ilmale tõid, olid hiiglased maa peal: needsamad vägimehed, kes muistsest ajast on kuulsad mehed.

⁶ siis Issand kahetses, et ta inimese oli teinud maa peale, ja ta süda valutas.

⁷ Ja Issand ütles: 'Ma tahan inimese, kelle ma olen loonud, maa pealt kaotada, niihästi inimesed kui loomad ja roomajad ja taeva linnud, sest ma kahetsen, et ma nad olen teinud!'

⁸ Aga Noa leidis armu Issanda silmis.

⁹ See on jutustus Noa soost: Noa oli üks õige mees, täiesti vaga oma rahvapõlve seas; Noa kõndis koos Jumalaga.

¹⁰ Ja Noale sündis kolm poega - Seem, Haam ja Jaafet.

¹¹ Aga maa oli Jumala palge ees raisku läinud ja vägivald täitis maad.

¹² Ja Jumal vaatas maad, ja näe, see oli raisku läinud, sest kõik liha maa peal oli oma eluviisides raiskunud.

¹³ Ja Jumal ütles Noale: 'Ma olen otsustanud teha lõpu kõigele lihale, sest maa on täis nende vägivalda, ja seepärast, vaata, ma hävitan nemad koos maaga.

¹⁴ Tee enesele laev goferipuust; laev tee kambritega ja pigita seda seest ning väljast maapigiga!

¹⁵ Ja tee see nõndaviisi: laeva pikkus olgu kolmsada küünart, laius viiskümmend küünart ja kõrgus kolmkümmend küünart;

¹⁶ valmista see küünramõõdu järgi; tee laevale katus peale ja tee uks laeva küljesse; tee sellele alumine, keskmine ja ülemine lagi!

¹⁷ Sest vaata, ma saadan veeuputuse maa peale ja hävitan taeva alt kõik liha, kus eluvaim sees on; kõik, mis maa peal on, peab hinge heitma!

¹⁸ Aga sinuga ma teen lepingu ja sina pead minema laeva, sina ja su pojad, su naine ja su poegade naised sinuga.

¹⁹ Ja sa pead viima laeva kõigist elavaist olendeist, kõigest lihast, igast liigist kaks, et nad koos sinuga jääksid elama: need olgu isane ja emane.

²⁰ Lindudest nende liikide järgi ja loomadest nende liikide järgi, kõigist roomajaist maa peal nende liikide järgi, kõigist peavad kaks tulema sinu juurde, et nad võiksid jääda elama.

²¹ Ja sina võta enesele kõigest roast, mida süüakse, ja kogu enese juurde, et see oleks toiduks sinule ja neile.'

²² Ja Noa tegi kõik. Nii nagu Jumal teda käskis, nõnda ta tegi.
