創世記 6:11-13 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 6:9-22

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 6:12

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 6:13

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

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Genesis 6:9-22

- Section VI - The Deluge- XXIII. The Ark9. דור dôr “age, time from birth to death,” applied either to an individual or the whole contemporary race, running parallel with some leading individual. Hence, the “race” or “generation” living during that time.14. תבה tēbâh “chest, ark.” It is used only of this vessel of Noah’s construction, and of the little vessel in which Moses was put Exodus 2:3, Exodus 2:5. The root, according to Furst, means “to be hollow.” אבה 'ēbeh a cognate word,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 6:11

Genesis 6:11. The earth Put for its inhabitants; was corrupt before God In matters of God’s worship; either having other gods before him, or worshipping him by images; or before the face of God, whose eye was upon it, and in despite and contempt of his presence and justice. They sinned openly and impudently, without shame, and boldly and resolutely, without any fear of God. The earth also was filled with violence and injustice toward men; there was no order, nor regular... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 6:13

Genesis 6:13. The end, or ruin, of all flesh is come before me Is approaching, is at the very door. It is come in my purpose and decree, and shall as certainly take place, as if it were come already, in what manner soever vain men may flatter themselves with hopes of longer impunity. I will destroy them with the earth; but make thee an ark I will take care to preserve thee alive. This ark was like the hulk of a ship, fitted not to sail upon the waters, but to float, waiting for their... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Genesis 6:9-22

The flood (6:9-8:19)Amid the corruption, there was one man, Noah, who remained faithful to God. Therefore, God promised to preserve Noah, along with his family, so that when the former evil race had been destroyed, he could use Noah and his family to build a new people (9-12; cf. Hebrews 11:7; 2 Peter 2:4-5; 2 Peter 2:4-5).God’s means of destruction was a great flood. Besides preserving Noah and his family, God preserved a pair of each kind of animals in the region, thereby helping to maintain... read more
