Genesis 6:8

Genesis 6:8 -

But Noah found grace . Hēn ; the same letters as in Noah, but reversed (cf. Genesis 18:3 ; Genesis 39:4 ; 1 Kings 11:19 ). The present is the first occurrence of the word in Scripture. "Now for the first time grace finds a tongue to express its name" (Murphy); and it clearly signifies the same thing as in Romans 4:1-25 ; Romans 5:1-21 ; Ephesians 2:1-22 ; Galatians 2:1-21 ; the gratuitous favor of God to sinful men.
