1
When the word of the Lord came unto Noah saying, Take unto thyself Naamah, the daughter of Lamech who dwelleth here in the city of thy fathers, for she hath been faithful to my gospel, wherefore I shall preserve through her the seed of Cain through the flood, Noah went unto his father Lamech to inquire concerning this matter and Lamech went unto his father Methuselah.
2
Methuselah inquired of the Lord and returned this word unto his son Lamech: Verily, thus saith the Lord, Mine handmaiden Naamah have I given unto my son Noah that the seed of Cain might be preserved through the great flood which I will send upon the earth.
3
Wherefore, let not my son Noah fear to take her to wife, for in so doing he shall be blessed for through him will come all nations.
4
Wherefore, say unto him, Noah, my son, I have looked upon the evils of the sons of men which have come up before me, for they have corrupted the whole earth save only this city in which thou dwellest.
5
Therefore, I will send in the floods upon the earth but thou and thy seed will I preserve through the flood, for I will send mine angels to Instruct thee in the building of an ark wherein ye shall be saved.
6
Behold, I shall establish thy seed before me forever and I will spread them abroad over the earth as numerous as the sand upon the seashore.
7
Thy seed shall not cease as long as the earth shall stand but through thee and thy priesthood which will be preserved in thy seed shall all nations be blessed.
