Genesis 6:3 in Context — Genesis 6

1 E aconteceu que, quando começaram os homens a multiplicar-se sobre a face da terra, e lhes nasceram filhas,

2 Vendo os filhos de Deus que as filhas dos homens eram belas, tomaram para si mulheres, escolhendo entre todas.

3 E disse o SENHOR: Não brigará meu espírito com o ser humano para sempre, porque certamente ele é carne: mas serão seus dias cento e vinte anos.

4 Havia gigantes na terra naqueles dias, e também depois que entraram os filhos de Deus às filhas dos homens, e lhes geraram filhos: estes foram os valentes que desde a antiguidade foram homens de renome.

5 E o SENHOR viu que a maldade dos seres humanos era muita na terra, e que todo desígnio dos pensamentos dos seus corações era só mau continuamente.
