Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 6:19-21
WHAT WAS TO BE TAKEN INTO THE ARK?"And every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. Of the birds after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive. And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it to thee; and it shah be for food for thee, and for them."This is a... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 6:19
Genesis 6:19. And of, &c.— See ch. Genesis 2:19. shalt thou bring, it is here said: and lest it might appear an impossibility for Noah to do so, God says, in the next verse, that they shall come to Noah: he himself, by his divine power, causing them to come into the ark to him. The first words might be rendered, thou shalt introduce, more conformably to the latter, they shall come: "they shall come, impelled by my power, and thou shalt introduce them to the several places appointed for them... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Genesis 6:19
17-22. And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood—The repetition of the announcement was to establish its certainty (Genesis 41:32). Whatever opinion may be entertained as to the operation of natural laws and agencies in the deluge, it was brought on the world by God as a punishment for the enormous wickedness of its inhabitants. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Genesis 6:9-22
1. The Flood 6:9-8:22The chiastic (palistrophic, crossing) structure of this section shows that Moses intended to emphasize God’s grace to Noah, which occupies the central part of the story."One mark of the coherence of the flood narrative is to be found in its literary structure. The tale is cast in the form of an extended palistrophe, that is a structure that turns back on itself. In a palistrophe the first item matches the final item, the second item matches the penultimate item, and so on.... read more

D. What became of Noah 6:9-9:29The Lord destroyed the corrupt, violent human race and deluged its world, but He used righteous Noah to preserve life and establish a new world after the Flood."Noah’s experience presents decisively the author’s assertion that the Lord judges human sin but provides a means for perpetuating the creation blessing (Genesis 1:26-28) and the salvation hope for an elect seed (Genesis 3:15). The recurring theme of blessing, threatened by sin but preserved by divine... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Genesis 6:17-21
This is the first occurrence of the important word "covenant" (Heb. berith) in the Old Testament (Genesis 6:18). There were two basic kinds of covenants in the ancient Near East. [Note: G. Herbert Livingston, The Pentateuch in Its Cultural Environment, pp. 153-154.] 1. The parity covenant was one that equals made. Examples: Abraham and Abimelech (Genesis 21:22-32), Isaac and Abimelech (Genesis 26:26-33), and Jacob and Laban (Genesis 31:44-54). 2. The suzerainty covenant was one that a superior... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 6:5-22
The FloodThis narrative records the judgment of God upon the sinful forefathers of mankind, and His preservation of a righteous family, in whom the divine purposes for men might be carried out. The spiritual teaching of Noah's deliverance has always been recognised by Christians, who see in the ark a symbol of the Church into which they are admitted by baptism, God thereby graciously providing for their deliverance from the wrath and destruction due to sin. The story of the Flood was fittingly... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Genesis 6:19-22
(19-22) of every living thing of all flesh, two . . . —The vast size of the ark and the wide terms used of the animals to be collected into it, make it evident that Noah was to save not merely his domestic cattle, but many wild species of beasts, birds, and creeping things. But the terms are conditioned by the usual rules for the interpretation of the language of Holy Scripture, and by the internal necessities of the event itself. Thus the animals in the ark could not have been more in number... read more

two. For preservation of species. In contrast with the "seven" (Genesis 7:2 ) clean animals, which were for sacrifice. Hence here it is Elohim (verses: Genesis 6:13 , Genesis 6:22 , Genesis 6:9 ) as the Creator; while in Genesis 7:0 : it is Jehovah in His covenantrelation. See App-4 . read more
