창세기 6:13-18 KRV

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 6:16

A window shalt thou make - What this was cannot be absolutely ascertained. The original word צהר tsohar signifies clear or bright; the Septuagint translate it by επωυναγων , "collecting, thou shalt make the ark," which plainly shows they did not understand the word as signifying any kind of window or light. Symmacbus translates it διαφανες , a transparency; and Aquila, μεσημβρινον , the noon. Jonathan ben Uzziel supposes that it was a precious luminous stone which Noah, by Divine... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 6:17

I-do bring a flood - מבול ; mabbul ; a word used only to designate the general deluge, being never applied to signify any other kind of inundation; and does not the Holy Spirit intend to show by this that no other flood was ever like this, and that it should continue to be the sole one of the kind? There have been many partial inundations in various countries, but never more than One general deluge; and we have God's promise, Genesis 9:15 , that there shall never be another. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 6:18

With thee will I establish my covenant - The word ברית berith , from בר bar , to purify or cleanse, signifies properly a purification or purifier, (see on Genesis 15 (note)), because in all covenants made between God and man, sin and sinfulness were ever supposed to be on man's side, and that God could not enter into any covenant or engagement with him without a purifier; hence, in all covenants, a sacrifice was offered for the removal of offenses, and the reconciliation of God to... 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

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 6:14

Verse 14 14.Make thee an ark of gopher wood. Here follows the command to build the ark, in which God wonderfully proved the faith and obedience of his servant. Concerning its structure, there is no reason why we should anxiously inquire, except so far as our own edification is concerned. First, the Jews are not agreed among themselves respecting the kind of wood of which it was made. Some explain the word gopher to be the cedar; others, the fir-tree; others, the pine. They differ also... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 6:18

Verse 18 18.But with thee will I establish my covenant. Since the construction of the ark was very difficult, and innumerable obstacles might perpetually arise to break off the work when begun, God confirms his servant by a super added promise. Thus was Noah encouraged to obey God; seeing that he relied on the Divine promise, and was confident that his labor would not be in vain. For then do we freely embrace the commands of God, when a promise is attached to them, which teaches us that we... 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 6:13

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

Make thee an ark . תֵּבַת , constr. of תֵּבָה , etymology unknown (Gesenius); of Shemitic origin, from תָּבָה , to be hollow (Furst); of Egyptian derivation, a boat being called tept (Keil, Kalisch, Knobel); from the Sanskrit pota , a pot or boat (Bohlen); "a peculiar archaic term for a very unusual thing, like מַבּוּל , the term for the Flood itself" ( T . Lewis); translated κιβωτο ì ς θι ì βη ( LXX .), area (Vulgate), λα ì ρναξ (Nicolas Damaseenus), ... read more
