창세기 6:13-18 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 6:13-21

Here it appears indeed that Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. God's favour to him was plainly intimated in what he said of him, Gen. 6:8-10, where his name is mentioned five times in five lines, when once might have served to make the sense clear, as if the Holy Ghost took a pleasure in perpetuating his memory; but it appears much more in what he says to him in these verses?the informations and instructions here given him. I. God here makes Noah the man of his counsel, communicating to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 6:13

And God said unto Noah ,.... This is a proof that he found favour in his eyes, since he spake to him, and told him what he had observed, and what he was determined to do, and gave him directions to make an ark for the security of himself and family, when he should destroy the world: the end of all flesh is come before me ; that is, it was determined to put an end to the lives of all men, and of all cattle, and fowl and creeping things on the earth; all which are included in the phrase,... read more

Make thee an ark of Gopher wood ,.... It is not called a ship, for it was not made for sailing to any distant parts, but an ark or chest, being like one, flat bottomed, and ridged and sloping upwards, and was made for floating on the waters for a little way. So Lucian F3 De Dea Syria. , and other Heathen writers, call it λαρναξ , "an ark" or "chest": this was made of "Gopher wood", which all the Targums, and the more ancient Rabbins, understand of cedar wood; some the box tree, as... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 6:15

And this is the fashion which thou shall make it of ,.... The form and size of it, its length, breadth, and height, as follows: the length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits ; which some interpret of geometrical cubits, each of which contained six ordinary cubits; others of sacred cubits, which were larger by an hand's breadth than the common cubit; but the general opinion of learned men now is, that they were... read more

A window shalt thou make to the ark ,.... Or a "light", such as is that at noon, for which the word in the dual number is used; and therefore Junius and Tremellius translate it a "clear light". The Jewish writers F19 Targum Jonathan in loc. Pirke Eliezer, c. 23. will have it to be a precious stone, a pearl which Noah fetched from the river Pison, and hung up in the ark, and it gave light to all the creatures, like a large chandelier; but a window no doubt it was to let light into the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 6:17

And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth ,.... That there was such a flood of waters brought upon the earth, is confirmed by the testimonies of Heathen writers of all nations; only instead of Noah they put some person of great antiquity in their nation, as the Chaldeans, Sisithrus or Xisuthrus; the Grecians and Romans, Prometheus or Deucalion, or Ogyges. Josephus F26 Antiqu. l. 1. c. 3. sect. 6. says, all the writers of the Barbarian or Heathen history make... read more

But with thee will I establish my covenant ,.... Made with Noah at this time, though not expressed, that on his making an ark, as God directed him, and going into it at his command, he would preserve him while building it from the rage of wicked men, and save him in it and his family, when the flood should come; and that they should come safe out of it, and repeople the world, which should be no more destroyed by one; for this covenant respects that later mentioned, Genesis 9:11 so Aben... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 6:13

I will destroy them with the earth - Not only the human race was to he destroyed, but all terrestrial animals, i.e. those which could not live in the waters. These must necessarily be destroyed when the whole surface of the earth was drowned. But destroying the earth may probably mean the alteration of its constitution. Dr. Woodward, in his natural history of the earth, has rendered it exceedingly probable that the whole terrestrial substance was amalgamated with the waters, after which the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 6:14

Make thee an ark - תבת tebath , a word which is used only to express this vessel, and that in which Moses was preserved, Exodus 2:3 , Exodus 2:5 . It signifies no more than our word vessel in its common acceptation - a hollow place capable of containing persons, goods, etc., without any particular reference to shape or form. Gopher wood - Some think the cedar is meant; others, the cypress. Bochart renders this probable, 1. From the appellation, supposing the Greek word ... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 6:15

Thou shalt make - the length of the ark - three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits - Allowing the cubit, which is the length from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger, to be eighteen inches, the ark must have been four hundred and fifty feet in length, seventy-five in breadth, and forty-five in height. But that the ancient cubit was more than eighteen inches has been demonstrated by Mr. Greaves, who traveled in Greece, Palestine, and... read more
