When mankind began to multiply on the surface of the entire earth and daughters were born to them, the angels of the Lord — in a certain (year) of this jubilee — saw that they were beautiful to look at. So they married of them whomever they chose. They gave birth to children for them and they were giants.

Wickedness increased on the earth. All animate beings corrupted their way — (everyone of them) from people to cattle, animals, birds, and everything that moves about on the ground. All of them corrupted their way and their prescribed course. They began to devour one another, and wickedness increased on the earth. Every thought of all mankind’s knowledge was evil like this all the time.

The Lord saw that the earth was corrupt, (that) all animate beings had corrupted their prescribed course, and (that) all of them — everyone that was on the earth — had acted wickedly before his eyes.

He said that he would obliterate people and all animate beings that were on the surface of the earth which he had created.

He was pleased with Noah alone.

Against his angels whom he had sent to the earth he was angry enough to uproot them from all their (positions of) authority. He told us to tie them up in the depths of the earth; now they are tied within them and are alone.

Regarding their children there went out from his presence an order to strike them with the sword and to remove them from beneath the sky.

He said: ‘My spirit will not remain on people forever for they are flesh. Their lifespan is to be 120 years’.

He sent his sword among them so that they would kill one another. They began to kill each other until all of them fell by the sword and were obliterated from the earth.

Now their fathers were watching, but afterwards they were tied up in the depths of the earth until the great day of judgment when there will be condemnation on all who have corrupted their ways and their actions before the Lord.

He obliterated all from their places; there remained no one of them whom he did not judge for all their wickedness.

He made a new and righteous nature for all his creatures so that they would not sin with their whole nature until eternity. Everyone will be righteous — each according to his kind — for all time.

The judgment of them all has been ordained and written on the heavenly tablets; there is no injustice. (As for) all who transgress from their way in which it was ordained for them to go — if they do not go in it, judgment has been written down for each creature and for each kind.

There is nothing which is in heaven or on the earth, in the light, the darkness, Sheol, the deep, or in the dark place — all their judgments have been ordained, written, and inscribed.

He will exercise judgment regarding each person — the great one in accord with his greatness and the small one in accord with his smallness — each one in accord with his way.

He is not one who shows favoritism nor one who takes a bribe, if he says he will execute judgment against each person. If a person gave everything on earth he would not show favoritism nor would he accept (it) from him because he is the righteous judge.

Regarding the Israelites it has been written and ordained: ‘If they turn to him in the right way, he will forgive all their wickedness and will pardon all their sins’.

It has been written and ordained that he will have mercy on all who turn from all their errors once each year.

To all who corrupted their ways and their plan(s) before the flood no favor was shown except to Noah alone because favor was shown to him for the sake of his children whom he saved from the flood waters for his sake because his mind was righteous in all his ways, as it had been commanded concerning him. He did not transgress from anything that had been ordained for him.

The Lord said that he would obliterate everything on the land — from people to cattle, animals, birds, and whatever moves about on the ground.

He ordered Noah to make himself an ark in order to save himself from the flood waters.

Noah made an ark in every respect as he had ordered him during the twenty-seventh jubilee of years, in the fifth week, during its fifth year [1307].

He entered (it) during its sixth (year) [1308], in the second month — on the first of the second month until the sixteenth. He and all that we brought to him entered the ark. The Lord closed it from outside on the seventeenth in the evening.

The Lord opened the seven floodgates of heaven and the openings of the sources of the great deep — there being seven openings in number.

The floodgates began to send water down from the sky for 40 days and 40 nights, while the sources of the deep brought waters up until the whole earth was full of water.

The waters increased on the earth; the waters rose 15 cubits above every high mountain. The ark rose above the earth and moved about on the surface of the waters.

The waters remained standing on the surface of the earth for five months — 150 days.

Then the ark came to rest on the summit of Lubar, one of the mountains of Ararat.

During the fourth month the sources of the great deep were closed, and the floodgates of heaven were held back. On the first of the seventh month all the sources of the earth’s deep places were opened, and the waters started to go down into the deep below.

On the first of the tenth month the summits of the mountains became visible, and on the first of the first month the earth became visible.

The waters dried up from above the earth in the fifth week, in its seventh year [1309]. On the seventeenth day of the second month the earth was dry.

On its twenty-seventh (day) he opened the ark and sent from it the animals, birds, and whatever moves about.
