John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 6:1-4

The Sons of God and the Daughters of Men1-4. This fragment seems to have been placed here as an instance of the wickedness which necessitated the Flood. Stories of unions between deities and the women of earth, which resulted in gigantic and corrupt races, were common to many nations of antiquity; and it is now generally held that we have here traces of a similar tradition among the Hebrews, which had survived to the writer’s day. But though the passage retains signs of these primitive ideas,... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Genesis 6:3

(3) And the Lord said.—As the Sethites are now the fallen race, it is their covenant Jehovah who determines to reduce the extreme duration of human life to that which, under the most favourable sanitary influences, might still be its normal length.My spirit shall not always strive with man.—The meaning of this much-contested clause is really settled by the main purpose and context of the verse, which is the Divine determination to shorten human life. Whether, then, God’s spirit be the animating... 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

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Genesis 6:1-8

CHAPTER 6:1-8 The Increasing Corruption 1. The sons of God and the daughters of men (Genesis 6:1-2 ) 2. The warning of Jehovah (Genesis 6:3 ) 3. Increased wickedness (Genesis 6:4-6 ) 4. Judgment announced (Genesis 6:7 ) 5. Noah found grace (Genesis 6:8 ) The question is who are the sons of God who took the daughters of men. The general view is that the sons of God were the pious descendants of Seth and the daughters of men, the Cainitish offspring. However, there are strong arguments... 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

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Genesis 6:1-8

THE FIRST CULMINATION OF SIN DEGENERATION The results of civilization were morally downward instead of upward, even the Sethites becoming corrupted in time as seen in the fact that after Enoch’s translation only Noah and his family were found faithful. Just as the translation of Enoch was a type of that of the church when Jesus comes, so the moral condition of the world after his translation is a type of that which shall prevail after the translation of the Church (see Luke 18:8 ; 2... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Genesis 6:1-22

Noah's Flood Gen 6:13 This is exactly the tone of the creative chapters of the Bible. It is important to remember this, as showing that God's sovereignty has two distinct but consistent operations, it creates, and it destroys, and the creature may not say, What doest thou? It is important, too, to remember that no middle point is proposed between creation and destruction; and as the one is taken literally, so the other must be taken in its plain and obvious meaning: when God "creates," he... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Genesis 6:3

And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. An awful scripture! Read, in confirmation of it, Ezekiel 16:42 , compare both with Hosea 4:17 . and then remark, that when the Lord ceases to correct, destruction is at hand. read more
