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 6:9-22

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

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

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Genesis 6:22

Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he. Faith in God's word, joined to a dependence on God's promises, in Christ, will ever induce holy obedience. Romans 4:20-24 . REFLECTIONS WHAT dreadful consequences of the guilt related in this chapter, soon followed ungracious and unholy connections in the marriage state, between the seed of Seth and the seed of Cain! What sad events is sin ever producing in private life, and in public bodies! How hath it drawn away the wisest of... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 6:22

22 Noah's faith triumphed over all corrupt reasonings. To rear so large a building, such a one as he never saw, and to provide food for the living creatures, would require from him a great deal of care, and labour, and expense. His neighbours would laugh at him. But all such objections, Noah, by faith, got over; his obedience was ready and resolute. Having begun to build, he did not leave off till he had finished: so did he, and so must we do. He feared the deluge, and therefore prepared the... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Genesis 6:17-22

The Announcement of the Flood v. 17. And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and everything that is in the earth shall die. The announcement is very definite: I am bringing the deluge of waters upon (or over) the earth. That is the punishment which the Lord had had in mind all the while, and this is about to be realized in that universal flood. The result would be the destruction of all flesh in... read more
