8. But Noach found chen (grace, unmerited favor) in the eyes of Hashem.
9. These are the toldot of Noach; Noach was an ish tzaddik and tamim among those of his time, and Noach's halachah was with HaElohim.
10. And Noach fathered three banim: Shem, Cham, and Yephet.
11. Ha'aretz also was corrupt before HaElohim, and ha'aretz was filled with chamas.
12. And Elohim looked upon ha'aretz, and, hinei, it was corrupt; for kol basar had corrupted his derech upon ha'aretz.
13. And Elohim said unto Noach, The ketz (end) of kol basar is come before Me; for ha'aretz is filled with chamas because of them; and, hineni, I will destroy them with ha'aretz.
