Genesis 6:1-13 BSB

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Genesis 6:8

But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord — This vindicates God's justice in his displeasure against the world, and shews that he had examined the character of every person in it, before he pronounced it universally corrupt; for there being one good man he smiled upon him. read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Genesis 6:9

These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.Noah was a just man — Justified before God by faith in the promised seed; for he was an heir of the righteousness which is by faith, Hebrews 11:7. He was sanctified, and had right principles and dispositions implanted in him: and he was righteous in his conversation, one that made conscience of rendering to all their due, to God his due, and to men theirs. And he walked with God as... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Genesis 6:11

The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.The earth also was corrupt before God — That is, in the matters of God's worship; either they had other gods before him, or worshipped him by images: or, they were corrupt and wicked in despite of God. The earth was also filled with violence, and injustice towards men; there was no order nor regular government, no man was safe in the possession of that which he had the most clear right to, there was nothing but... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Genesis 6:12

And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.God looked upon the earth — And was himself an eye-witness of the corruption that was in it, for all flesh had corrupted his way - It was not some particular nations that were thus wicked, but the whole world so; there was none good beside Noah. read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Genesis 6:13

And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. The end of all flesh is come before me; I will destroy them — The ruin of this wicked world is decreed; it is come, that is, it will come surely, and come quickly. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 6:1-8

The Book of the Generations of Adam, Genesis 5:1 to Genesis 6:8. Here begins another of the main divisions of our volume. As observed in the Introduction, (p. 50,) it is not an account of the origin or creation of Adam, nor even of his oldest progeny, but of his posterity through the line of Seth, who is treated as having taken the place of Abel. Genesis 4:25. It is our author’s habit to unfold a series of events connected as in a chain of causes and effects, and then to return and take up one... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 6:2

2. Sons of God There has been much dispute as to the nature and character of the “sons of God” mentioned in this section . Three different theories have been maintained in the Jewish and Christian Churches . The first, arising apparently from the Samaritan, which translates the phrase sons of mighty men, is found in the Targums of Jonathan and Onkelos, and was maintained by eminent Jewish commentators, like Aben Ezra and Rashi, but is now abandoned. A second view, which seems to have some... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 6:3

3. My Spirit shall not always strive with man דון , here rendered strive, occurs nowhere else, and its meaning is doubtful . Our translation assumes that it is the same as דין , following in this respect Symmachus ( ου κρινει ) and Kimchi . This is not impossible, as the verbs עו and עי often interchange their middle radical . Gesenius renders the word to be made low, depressed; (so Vatablus and Ewald;) and, if this be the meaning, the sense of the text would seem to be, my Spirit... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 6:4

4. Giants in the earth Literally, The Nephilim were in the land in those days, and also after that, ( or specially after that,) when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of man, and they bare children to them, these are the heroes ( Gibborim) who from the olden time were the men of name renowned, notorious men . There is no authority in the Hebrew for the translation giants. The word comes from the Sept., which renders Nephilim, γιγαντες , earth born, from which it has... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 6:5

5. God saw… only evil A fearful picture of human depravity, in its thoroughness and universality . The genealogy of the lust and violence that now raged through the world is powerfully traced in a few pregnant words . First, the foul heart, then the thinking, (process,) then the thought, (product,) the imaged sin, ( יצר ,) then the foul deed . From the corrupt heart swarm the carnal thoughts; in these are bred the sinful imageries and purposes, whence are spawned the abominable... read more
