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

And the Lord —Jehovah; not because due to the Jehovist (Tuch, Bleek, Colenso), but because the sin above specified was a direct violation of the footing of grace on which the Sethites stood— said ,—to himself, i.e. purposed,— My spirit —neither "ira, seu rigida Dei justitia" (Venema), nor "the Divine spirit of life bestowed upon man, the principle of physical and ethical, natural and spiritual life" (Keil); but the Holy Ghost, the Ruach Elohim of Genesis 1:2 — shall not always... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 6:3

Probation, approbation, and reprobation . "And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man," &c.; The life of man, whether longer or shorter, is a time during which the Spirit of God strives with him. It is at once in judgment and in mercy that the strife is not prolonged; for where there is continued opposition to the will of God there is continual laying up of judgment against the day of wrath. The allotted time of man upon the earth is sufficient for the required... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 6:3

The striving of the Spirit implies— I. THE DOCTRINE OF HUMAN DEPRAVITY . II. THE GRANTING OF GOD 'S SPIRIT TO OUR FALLEN WORLD . III. That God's Spirit is OPPOSED BY MAN . IV. That the effort of God's Spirit for man's salvation, even though not successful, COMES TO AN END . V.

There were . Not became, or arose, as if the giants were the fruit of the previously-mentioned misalliances; but already existed contemporaneously with the sons of God (cf.

- The Growth of Sin3. דון dı̂yn “be down, strive, subdue, judge.” בשׁגם bāshagām “inasmuch, as also.” The rendering “in their error” requires the pointing בשׁגם beshāgām, and the plural form of the following pronoun. It is also unknown to the Septuagint.4. נפילים nepı̂lı̂ym “assailants, fellers, men of violence, tyrants.”Having traced the line of descent from Adam through Sheth, the seed of God, to Noah, the author proceeds to describe the general spread and growth of moral evil in the race... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 6:3

Genesis 6:3. My spirit shall not always strive with man The Spirit then strove by Noah’s preaching, 1 Peter 3:19, and by inward checks, but it was in vain with the most of men; therefore, saith God, he shall not always strive, for that he (man) also is flesh Incurably corrupt and sensual, so that it is labour lost to strive with him. He also; that is, all, one as well as another; they are all sunk into the mire of flesh. Yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years So long... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Genesis 6:1-8

6:1-9:29 REBELLION AND JUDGMENTThe wickedness of human society (6:1-8)As the population grew and societies developed, people again showed the tendency to want to exist independently of God. Like their original ancestors, they wanted to be as God and live for ever (cf. 3:5,22).It seems that certain angels (the probable meaning of ‘sons of God’ in this story; cf. Job 1:6; Job 38:7; Daniel 3:25) had, in rebellion against God, taken human form and co-operated with ambitious people in trying to... read more
