James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Genesis 6:9-22

T HE ARK AND ITS CONTENTS Notice the phrase “the generations of” and recall the instruction about it in lesson 2. When Noah is spoken of as just and perfect, that relative sense is used in which any man is just and perfect before God who believes His testimony and conforms his life to it. It is in this sense that every true believer on Jesus Christ is just and perfect. What two charges does God make against the earth (Genesis 6:12-13 )? What is Noah commanded (Genesis 6:14 )? The... read more

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

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 6:12-21

12-21 God told Noah his purpose to destroy the wicked world by water. The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him, Psalms 25:14. It is with all believers, enabling them to understand and apply the declarations and warnings of the written word. God chose to do it by a flood of waters, which should drown the world. As he chooses the rod with which he corrects his children, so he chooses the sword with which he cuts off his enemies. God established his covenant with Noah. This is the first... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Genesis 6:8-13

God Chooses Noah v. 8. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. "In these words there breaks forth from the dark cloud of wrath the mercy which gives security for the preservation and restoration of humanity. " (Keil. ) God did not plan an absolute destruction of the entire human race, but only of those that deliberately persisted in their wickedness and would not accept the warning of His Spirit. v. 9. These are the generations, the genealogy, of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect... read more

Genesis THE SAINT AMONG SINNERS Gen_6:9 - Gen_6:22 . 1. Notice here, first, the solitary saint. Noah stands alone ‘in his generations’ like some single tree, green and erect, in a forest of blasted and fallen pines. ‘Among the faithless, faithful only he.’ His character is described, so to speak, from the outside inwards. He is ‘righteous,’ or discharging all the obligations of law and of his various relationships. He is ‘perfect.’ His whole nature is developed, and all in due symmetry and... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Genesis 6:9-22

Noah Builds the Ark Genesis 6:9-22 Human sin had reached an awful climax. Sooner or later its results must have swept the human race from the earth, as smallpox will slay every native on some infected island. God only hastened by the Flood the inevitable result of wrong-doing. Amid the universal corruption and violence, one man stood out as precious in the sight of God. His name meant Rest; he was righteous toward man and “blameless” toward God; he walked in fellowship with God; His ear was... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Genesis 6:1-22

With the passing of the centuries, the degeneration of the individual and the family became that of society. There had been intermixture between the descendants of Cain and those of Seth, resulting in the Nephilim. These were strong and godless men, ultimately swept away by the Flood. The description of life is a terrible one. "The wickedness of man was great" that describes the outward condition; "every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually" that describes the... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Genesis 6:11-22

Noah and the Ark Genesis 6:11-22 INTRODUCTORY WORDS There is a verse in the New Testament which reads: "As the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." 1. One cannot but marvel that the Lord went on and specified the eating and drinking, the marrying and giving in marriage, as certain parallelisms between Noah's day and the day of the Lord's Return. He was, of course, speaking not merely of the fact that they ate, or that they married. He referred to the method and... read more
