John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 6:6

Verse 6 6.And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth The repentance which is here ascribed to God does not properly belong to him, but has reference to our understanding of him. For since we cannot comprehend him as he is, it is necessary that, for our sakes he should, in a certain sense, transform himself. That repentance cannot take place in God, easily appears from this single considerations that nothing happens which is by him unexpected or unforeseen. The same reasoning,... read more

Verse 7 7.And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, etc. He again introduces God as deliberating, in order that we may the better know that the world was not destroyed without mature counsel on the part of God. For the Spirit of the Lord designed that we should be diligently admonished on this point, in order that he might cut off occasion for those impious complaints, into which we should be otherwise too ready to break forth.

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 6:8

Verse 8 8.But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. This is a Hebrew phrase, which signifies that God was propitious to him, and favored him. For so the Hebrews are accustomed to speak: — ‘If I have found grace in thy sight,’ instead of, ‘If I am acceptable to thee,’ or, ‘If thou wilt grant me thy benevolence or favor.’ Which phrase requires to be noticed, because certain unlearned men infer with futile subtlety, that if men find grace in God’s sight, it is because they seek it by their own... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 6:1-5

The demoralization of the race. This was due to— I. THE LONG LIVES OF THE ANTEDILUVIANS . Long life, if helpful to the good, is much more injurious to the wicked. Giants in health and life are often giants in wickedness. II. THE UNHOLY ALLIANCES OF THE SETHITES AND CAINITES . Nothing so demoralizing as marriage with an evil woman. Its bad effects are commonly transmitted to, and intensified in, posterity. III. THE DEPRAVITY INDUCED BY THE FALL , which... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 6:1-8

The days that were before the flood ( Matthew 24:38 ). I. SIN INCREASING . 1. Licentiousness raging . The special form it assumed was that of sensuous gratification, leading to a violation of the law of marriage. In the seventh age Lamech the Cainite became a polygamist. By and by the sons of God, captivated by the charms of beauty, cast aside the bonds of self-restraint, and took them wives of all whom they chose. 2. Violence prevailing . Those who begin by breaking the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 6:1-8

The work of sin. The moral chaos out of which the new order is about to be evolved. We find these features in the corrupt state depicted. I. ILL - ASSORTED MARRIAGES . The sons of God— i.e. the seed of the righteous, such men as the patriarchs described in Genesis 5:1-32 ; men who walked with God, and were his prophets—fell away from their allegiance to the Divine order, and went after the daughters of the Cainites, The self-will and mere carnal affections are denoted by the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 6:5

And God (Jehovah, which should have been rendered 'the Lord') saw —indicative of the long-continued patience (Calvin) of the Deity, under whose immediate cognizance the great experiment of the primeval age of the world was wrought out— that the wickedness ( ra'ath ; from the root raa, to make a loud noise, to rage, hence to be wicked) of man (literally, of the Adam : this was the first aggravation of the wickedness which God beheld; it was the tumultuous rebellion of the... read more

And it repented the Lord . Yinnahem ; from naham, to pant, to groan; Niph; to lament, to grieve bemuse of the misery of others, also because of one's own actions; whence to repent (cf. German, rouen ; English, rue : Gesenius); = "it grieved him at his heart." " Verbum nostae pravitatae accommodatum " (Chrysostom); " non est perturbatio, sod judi-cium, quo irrogatur pinna;" and again, "poenitudo Dei est mutandorum immutabilis ratio ". " Deus est immutabilis; sed cum ii,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 6:7

And the Lord said ,—"Before weird (doom) there's word: Northern Proverb" (Bonar)— I will destroy —literally, blot or wipe out by washing (cf. Numbers 5:23 ; 2 Kings 21:13 ; Proverbs 30:20 ; Isaiah 25:8 ). "The idea of destroying by washing away is peculiarly appropriate to the Deluge, and the word is chosen on account of its significance" (Quarry)— man whom I have created from the face of the earth . An indirect refutation of the angel hypothesis (Keil, Lange). If the angels... read more

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.
