OET (OET-RV) so he said, “This humankind that I created, I will completely destroy them from the surface of the ground, along with the animals, and crawling creatures and the birds of the sky, because I regret that I made them.”
וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהוָ֗ה
and=he/it_said YHWH
See how you translated this phrase in verse 3. Also make sure that the way you begin verse 7 fits well with the way you begin verse 6. Alternate translation: “Then he said to himself,”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
אֶמְחֶ֨ה
I_will_stroke/rub//erase
Consider whether your language has a similar idiom that would fit well here. Alternate translation: “I will wash away” or “I will blot out” or “I will completely wipe”

Alternate translation: “all the human beings whom I created, from the surface of the earth,”
מֵֽאָדָם֙ עַד בְּהֵמָ֔ה
from=humankind until cattle/livestock
Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “In fact, I will destroy not just all the people, but also all the animals,”
עַד רֶ֖מֶשׂ
until until creeping_(thing)_of
Alternate translation: “and the creatures that move on the ground”
וְעַד ע֣וֹף הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם

Alternate translation: “that I ever created them.”
6:7 wipe . . . from the . . . earth: As Adam and Eve were banished from the garden-sanctuary (3:23), all of humankind would be expunged from God’s good creation.
• every living thing: Human sin had so corrupted the earth that judgment fell on the animals and birds over which they had dominion (see 1:28 and study note). The special role of humans in the created order (1:28-30) means that nature is affected by human moral choices (see 8:1; Job 38:41; Hos 4:3; Rom 8:19-22).
OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_said Yahweh I_will_wipe DOM the_humankind which I_created from_under the_surface the_soil from_humankind unto animal[s] unto creeping_thing[s] and_unto the_bird[s] the_heavens if/because I_regret if/because_that I_have_made_them.
OET (OET-RV) so he said, “This humankind that I created, I will completely destroy them from the surface of the ground, along with the animals, and crawling creatures and the birds of the sky, because I regret that I made them.”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
