Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Genesis 6:9-29

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

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 6:5-17

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 6:11

(11) The earth.—This is the larger word, and it occurs no less than six times in these three verses, thus indicating a more widespread calamity than if adâmâh only had been used, as in Genesis 6:7. But the earth that “was corrupt before God” was not the whole material globe, but that part which man, notably the gibborim of Genesis 6:4, had “filled with violence.” Whithersoever man’s violence had spread, there his home and all his works, his builded cities, his tilled land, his cattle and... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Genesis 6:12

(12) All flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.—These material things were incapable alike of moral good or evil, but man had made them the instruments of working his carnal will, and because of the associations connected with them they must be effaced, or rubbed out. (See Note on Genesis 6:7.) read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Genesis 6:1-22

The Lesson of the Tower Genesis 6:4 The form of this story belongs to the early stages of an ascending scale of civilization. The soul of the narrative is for all time. Take one obvious aspect of that soul. The builders of city and tower were men of great ambition. They would dare high things and they would do them. This is well, for God made us all for ambition. But it is part of the tragedy of our humanity that each day we are tempted to sully ambition with some phase of latent or expressed... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Genesis 6:1-22

THE FLOODGenesis 5:1-32; Genesis 6:1-22; Genesis 7:1-24; Genesis 8:1-22; Genesis 9:1-29THE first great event which indelibly impressed itself on the memory of the primeval world was the Flood. There is every reason to believe that this catastrophe was co-extensive with the human population of the world. In every branch of the human family traditions of the event are found. These traditions need not be recited, though some of them bear a remarkable likeness to the Biblical story, while others... read more

IV. THE GENERATIONS OF NOAH CHAPTER 6:9-22 Before the Flood 1. Noah walked with God (Genesis 6:9-10 ) 2. The earth filled with violence (Genesis 6:11-13 ) 3. The building of the ark commanded (Genesis 6:14-21 ) 4. Noah’s obedience (Genesis 6:22 ) It was grace which constituted Noah just and enabled him to walk with God. Hebrews 11:7 gives a full definition of Noah’s faith. Seven things are shown concerning Noah: Warned of God -- The ground of faith Things not seen -- The realm of... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 6:1-22

MAN'S DEGRADATION TO CORRUPTION AND VIOLENCE It was not long before mankind multiplied greatly on earth, and the dreadful effects of sin multiplied with them. this is emphasized in the corrupt mixture of "the sons of God" with "the daughters of men." We have seen in Chapter 5 that the line of Seth maintained "the likeness of God" in some measure at least, therefore they are called "the sons of God:" they were separate from the evils of the line of Cain. so today in the coming out from among... read more
