Génesis 6:2-Números RVA

Sermon Bible Commentary - Genesis 6:1-22

Gen. 6-7 A long period elapsed between the commencement of the building of the ark and the actual flood. During that period we notice: (1) the strength of Noah's faith. God has told him of a deluge of which there is no appearance; he has commanded him to build a strange vessel for no apparent purpose; he has told him that one hundred and twenty years of toil must elapse before the vessel can be of any use to him. And yet, in the face of all these difficulties, Noah forms and keeps his... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 6:1-22

Chapter six.It came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took unto them wives of all which they chose. And the LORD said, My spirit will not always strive with man, in that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years ( Genesis 6:1-3 ).So we're coming now to a time in which God is going to drastically alter man's lifespan. By the time they... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 6:1-22

Genesis 6:2. Sons of God. Some understand this expression of Seth’s sons, who intermarried with Cain’s daughters, but assign no reason for their being called the daughters of men. Others understand it, and with greater propriety, of the sons of great men, who are repeatedly called Elohim, or gods, in the scriptures. So Exodus 21:6; Exodus 22:8; Exodus 22:28; and Psalms 82:0., where the same term occurs. Hence the sons of the judges, or great men, seized the daughters of the poor; and... read more

In profession. 3. In moral character. 4. In eternal destiny. (J. S. Exell, M. A.)Sons of Elohim and daughters of menOpinions have differed greatly as to the meaning of the name “Sons of God,” or rather of “Elohim.” The rabbis, as was natural, from their love of the marvellous, took for granted that the... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Genesis 6:2

That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.The sons of God — Those who were called by the name of the Lord, and called upon that name, married the daughters of men - Those that were profane, and strangers to God. The posterity of Seth did not keep to themselves as they ought, but intermingled with the race of Cain: they took them wives of all that they chose - They chose only by the eye: They saw that they were fair -... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 6:1-8

The Book of the Generations of Adam, Genesis 5:1 to Genesis 6:8. Here begins another of the main divisions of our volume. As observed in the Introduction, (p. 50,) it is not an account of the origin or creation of Adam, nor even of his oldest progeny, but of his posterity through the line of Seth, who is treated as having taken the place of Abel. Genesis 4:25. It is our author’s habit to unfold a series of events connected as in a chain of causes and effects, and then to return and take up one... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 6:2

2. Sons of God There has been much dispute as to the nature and character of the “sons of God” mentioned in this section . Three different theories have been maintained in the Jewish and Christian Churches . The first, arising apparently from the Samaritan, which translates the phrase sons of mighty men, is found in the Targums of Jonathan and Onkelos, and was maintained by eminent Jewish commentators, like Aben Ezra and Rashi, but is now abandoned. A second view, which seems to have some... read more
