5 And Hashem saw that the wickedness of HaAdam was great in ha’aretz and that every yetzer (inclination) of the machshevot (thoughts) of his lev was only rah (evil) continually.6:5 Ro 7:18 6 And Hashem relented that He had made HaAdam on ha’aretz, and He was grieved in His lev. 7 And Hashem said, I will wipe out HaAdam whom I have created from the face of ha’adamah; both Adam, and Behemah, and the Remes and the Oph HaShomayim; for I relent that I have made them. 8 But Noach found chen (grace, unmerited favor) in the eyes of Hashem.
[NOACH]
9 These are the toldot of Noach; Noach was an ish tzaddik and tamim among those of his time, and Noachʼs halachah was with HaElohim.
