[:en]Thoughts from Genesis 6[:]

[:en]The Lord saw how great man’s wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time.  He was grieved that He had made man on the earth, and His heart was filled with pain.  So He decided to wipe out mankind but Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.  (vs. 5-8)

Noah was righteous and blameless and he walked with God.  He had 3 sons:  Shem, Ham and Japheth.  God told Noah to make an ark with His specifications and Noah did everything just as God commanded. (vs. 9-10; 13-16)[:]
