Genesis 6
6:2
That the
a sons of God saw the daughters
b of men that they [were]
c
fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
(
a) The children of the godly who began to
degenerate.
(
b) Those that had wicked parents, as if from
Cain.
(
c) Having more respect for their beauty and
worldly considerations than for their manners and godliness.
6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always
d
strive with man, for that he also [is] flesh: yet his days shall be an
e
hundred and twenty years.
(
d) Because man could not by won by God's
leniency and patience by which he tried to win him, he would no longer
withhold his vengeance.
(
e) Which time span God gave man to repent before
he would destroy the earth, (
1 Peter
3:20).
6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and
also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and
they bare [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which [were] of old,
men of
f renown.
(
f) Who usurped authority over others, and
degenerated from that simplicity, in which their father's lived.
6:6 And it
g
repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his
heart.
(
g) God never repents, but he speaks in human
terms, because he destroyed him, and in a way denied him as his creature.
6:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have
created from the face of the earth; both man, and
h
beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me
that I have made them.
(
h) God declares how much he detests sin, seeing
the punishment of it extends to the brute beasts.
6:8 But Noah
i
found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
(
i) God was merciful to him.
6:11 The
earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with
k
violence.
(
k) Meaning, that all were given to the contempt
of God, and oppression of their neighbours.
6:16
A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above;
and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; [with]
1
lower, second, and third [stories] shalt thou make it.
(
1) That is, of three heights.
6:18 But with thee will I
m
establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and
thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
(
m) So that in this great undertaking and mocking
of the whole world, you may be confirmed so your faith does not fail.
6:22
Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him,
n
so did he.
(
n) That is, he obeyed God's commandment in all
points without adding or taking away.
