Genesis Chapter 5 & 6

Chapter 5 in the geneology from Adam to Noah and Noah's 3 sons Ham, Shem and Japheth. Rahter a boring read, however, there a couple of good stories here. Like Enoch walking into Heaven and Methuselah living the 969 years old before he died.

So we start in Chapter 6 with the Lord said and God said.
6:3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not alway strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be 120.
(so does this mean the God after the fall expected us to live to 120 years? HMMM!)

6:7 And the Lord Said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air, for it repenteth Me that I made them.

6:13-20 And God said unto Noah, the end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

Make the and ark of gopher wood, rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: the length of the ark shall be 300 cubits, the breadth of it 50 cubits, and the height of it 30 cubits.

A window shalt make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above, and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the thereof, with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.

And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven, and every thing that is in the earth shall die.

But with thee will I establish My covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.

And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort thou shalt bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.

Of fowls after their own kind, and of cattle after their own kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee to keep them alive.

6:21And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.

Now that was alot of instructions! I guess the people that just keep forgiving those who do them wrong have a heart like God's. Even after all of the evil that was taking place God still didn't totally destroy man. Most of us would have.

Tomorrow is chapter 7 and all of the different animals that went into the ark.
