John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 6:9

Verse 9 9.These are the generations of Noah. The Hebrew word תולדות (toledoth) properly means generation. It has, however, sometimes a more extended sense, and applies to the whole history of life; this indeed seems to be its meaning in the present place. (271) For when Moses had stated that one man was found whom God, — when he had determined to destroy the whole world, — would yet preserve, he briefly describes what kind of person he was. And, in the first place, asserts, that he was just and... read more

Verse 11 11.The earth also was corrupt before God. In the former clause of this verse Moses describes that impious contempt of God, which had left no longer any religion in the world; but the light of equity being extinct, all men had plunged into sin. In the second clause he declares, that the love of oppression, that frauds, injuries, rapines, and all kinds of injustice, prevailed. And these are the fruits of impiety, that men, when they have revolted from God, — forgetful of mutual equity... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 6:13

Verse 13 13.And God said unto Noah. Here Moses begins to relate how Noah would be preserved. And first, he says, that the counsel of God respecting the destruction of the world was revealed to him. Secondly, that the command to build the ark was given. Thirdly, that safety was promised him, if, in obedience to God, he would take refuge in the ark. These chief points are to be distinctly noted; even as the Apostle, when he proclaims the faith of Noah, joins fear and obedience with confidence,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 6:9

§ 4. THE GENERATIONS OF NOAH ( CH . 6:9-9:29). EXPOSITION These are the generations of Noah . "Novi capitis initium = "haec est historia Noachi (Rosenmüller; cf. Genesis 5:1 ). Noah ( vide Genesis 5:29 ) was a just man . צַדִּיק : not of spotless innocence (Knobel); but upright, honest, virtuous, pious ( vir probus ); from צָדַּק , to be straight, hence to be just; Piel to render just or righteous (Eccl. Lat; justificare ) , to declare any one just... read more

The building of the ark. I. THE MAN AND HIS CONTEMPORARIES . A common saying, and one possessed of a show of wisdom, that a person seldom rises far above the average goodness, or sinks far below the average wickedness, of the age in which he lives. Yet it is precisely in proportion as individuals either excel or fall beneath their generation that they are able to affect it for good or evil. All epoch-making men are of this stamp. Noah, it is obvious, was not a man whose character... read more

Righteousness and peace. The description of Noah is very similar to that of Enoch, just and perfect in his generation, that is, blameless in his walk before men, which is saying much of one who lived in a time of universal corruption. And he walked with God, i.e. devout and religious, and, from the analogy of the preceding use of the words, we may say, a prophet. He preached righteousness both with lip and life. To this good and great prophet the announcement is made of the coming... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 6:10

And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth (cf. Genesis 5:32 ). Here (in the story of the Flood) if anywhere, observes Rosenmüller, can traces be detected of two distinct documents ( duorum monumentorum ), in the alternate use of the names of the Deity, the frequent repetitions of the same things, and the use of peculiar forms of expression; and in Genesis 6:9-13 , compared with Genesis 6:5-8 , Bleek, Tuch, Colenso, and others find' the first instance of needless repetition,... read more

And God looked upon the earth . "God knows at all times what is doing in our world, but his looking upon the earth denotes a special observance of it, as though he had instituted an inquiry into its real condition" (Bush; cf. Psalms 14:2 ; Psalms 33:13 , Psalms 33:14 ; Psalms 80:2 , Psalms 80:3 ). And, behold, it was corrupt. "Everything stood in sharpest contradiction with that good state which God the Creator had established" (Delitzsch, quoted by Lange). The nature of this... read more

And God said unto Noah, The end . קֵץ (from Hophal of קָצַץ , to cut off) that which is cut off, the end of a time ( Genesis 4:3 ) or of a space ( Isaiah 37:24 ); specially the end or destruction of a people ( Ezekiel 7:2 ; Amos 8:2 ), in which sense it is to be here understood (Gesenius, Rosenmüller). The rendering which regards ketz as, like τε ì λος —the completion, consummation, fullness of a thing (here of human fleshliness or wickedness), and the following clause... read more
