Genesis 6:8-10 ASV

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Genesis 6:8

Noah was the one exception to universal godlessness. "Noah" may mean "grieved" (the Hebrew niphal form) or "comfort" (the piel form). "Favor" is grace. This is the first mention of this word in the Old Testament, though we have seen many examples of God’s grace thus far. There is a word play in the Hebrew text (an anagram). The same consonants of Noah’s name (nh) in the reverse order mean "grace" (hn).All God’s people can identify with Noah, the recipient of God’s grace. It is only by God’s... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Genesis 6:9-12

This is the first time the important words "righteous" and "blameless" appear in the Bible. "The same explanation for Enoch’s rescue from death (’he walked with God’) is made the basis for Noah’s rescue from death in the Flood: ’he walked with God’ (Genesis 6:9). Thus in the story of Noah and the Flood, the author is able to repeat the lesson of Enoch: life comes through ’walking with God.’" [Note: Sailhamer, The Pentateuch . . ., p. 119.] "Noah is depicted as Adam redivivus (revived). He is... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Genesis 6:9-22

1. The Flood 6:9-8:22The chiastic (palistrophic, crossing) structure of this section shows that Moses intended to emphasize God’s grace to Noah, which occupies the central part of the story."One mark of the coherence of the flood narrative is to be found in its literary structure. The tale is cast in the form of an extended palistrophe, that is a structure that turns back on itself. In a palistrophe the first item matches the final item, the second item matches the penultimate item, and so on.... read more

D. What became of Noah 6:9-9:29The Lord destroyed the corrupt, violent human race and deluged its world, but He used righteous Noah to preserve life and establish a new world after the Flood."Noah’s experience presents decisively the author’s assertion that the Lord judges human sin but provides a means for perpetuating the creation blessing (Genesis 1:26-28) and the salvation hope for an elect seed (Genesis 3:15). The recurring theme of blessing, threatened by sin but preserved by divine... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 6:5-17

The FloodThis narrative records the judgment of God upon the sinful forefathers of mankind, and His preservation of a righteous family, in whom the divine purposes for men might be carried out. The spiritual teaching of Noah’s deliverance has always been recognised by Christians, who see in the ark a symbol of the Church into which they are admitted by baptism, God thereby graciously providing for their deliverance from the wrath and destruction due to sin. The story of the Flood was fittingly... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Genesis 6:8

(8) But Noah found grace.—This is the first place where grace is mentioned in the Bible, and with these words ends the Tôldôth Adam. It has traced man from his creation until his wickedness was so great that the Divine justice demanded his punishment. But it concludes with words of hope. Jehovah’s purpose was not extermination, but regeneration; and with Noah a higher and better order of things was to begin. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Genesis 6:9

THE GENERATIONS OF NOAH (Genesis 6:9; Genesis 9:28).(9) Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations.—“Just” is, literally, righteous, one whose actions were sufficiently upright to exempt him from the punishment inflicted upon the rest of mankind. “Perfect” means sound, healthy, and conveys no idea of sinlessness. It answers to the Latin integer, whence our word integrity, and not to perfectus.Generations (dôrôth) is not the same word as at the beginning of the verse (tôldôth), but... read more

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

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
