This biblical text from Genesis describes a time of great wickedness and corruption on the earth, leading to God's deep regret over humanity's creation. It introduces the Nephilim, the offspring of divine beings and human women, and details God's decision to destroy all life with a great flood. The passage highlights the righteousness of Noah and God's plan to save him and his family, along with pairs of every animal, through the construction of an ark. It concludes with God giving detailed instructions for the ark's dimensions and design to Noah, who faithfully obeys God's command.
