Genesis 6:13

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

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 6:9-22

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

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

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Genesis 6:13

All flesh. I will destroy all these carnal and wicked people, and, because all other creatures were made only for man's use, and will be useless, I will involve them in the common ruin, reserving only what will be necessary for the support of the few who shall be preserved, and for the repeopling of the earth.

Matthew Henry

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
