Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 6:13-21

Here it appears indeed that Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. God's favour to him was plainly intimated in what he said of him, Gen. 6:8-10, where his name is mentioned five times in five lines, when once might have served to make the sense clear, as if the Holy Ghost took a pleasure in perpetuating his memory; but it appears much more in what he says to him in these verses?the informations and instructions here given him. I. God here makes Noah the man of his counsel, communicating to... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 6:22

Noah's care and diligence in building the ark may be considered, 1. As an effect of his faith in the word of God. God had told him he would shortly drown the world; he believed it, feared the threatened deluge, and, in that fear, prepared the ark. Note, We ought to mix faith with the revelation God has made of his wrath against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men; the threatenings of the word are not false alarms. Much might have been objected against the credibility of this warning... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 6:18

But with thee will I establish my covenant ,.... Made with Noah at this time, though not expressed, that on his making an ark, as God directed him, and going into it at his command, he would preserve him while building it from the rage of wicked men, and save him in it and his family, when the flood should come; and that they should come safe out of it, and repeople the world, which should be no more destroyed by one; for this covenant respects that later mentioned, Genesis 9:11 so Aben... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 6:19

And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark ,.... That is, of fowls, cattle, and creeping things, as after explained; and two of each sort at least were to be brought, as Jarchi observes, and not fewer; though of the clean sort there were to be more, even seven, as after directed; and these were to be brought, that they might preserve their species, as it follows: to keep them alive with thee ; to be fed and nourished by him in the ark, while... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 6:20

Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind ,.... What before is generally expressed by "every living thing", is here particularly explained of every sort of them; and from the order of them some have thought that in the same manner they were disposed of in the ark, the fowls in the first story, the cattle in the next, and the creeping things in the lowermost: but others place them in a different manner; see Gill on Genesis... read more

And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten ,.... By man and beast; of which see Genesis 1:29 . and thou shall gather it to thee ; to lay up in the ark: and it shall be for food for thee, and for them : during the flood, a quantity sufficient for them: and according to the calculation of learned men F14 Buteo de Area Noe, Wilkins's Essay towards a real Character, Bedford's Chronology, &c.; , well versed in mathematics, there was room enough in the ark, and to... read more

Thus did Noah ,.... Or "and" or "therefore Noah made" F15 ויעש "et fecit", Pagninus, Montanus; "fecit itaque", Schmidt. the ark; and "all things", as the Septuagint and Vulgate Latin versions: according to all that God commanded him, so did he ; he made the ark according to the pattern God gave him, he gathered together food for himself and family, and for all the creatures, and laid it up in the ark as God directed him; and when the time was come, he and they not only entered... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 6:18

With thee will I establish my covenant - The word ברית berith , from בר bar , to purify or cleanse, signifies properly a purification or purifier, (see on Genesis 15 (note)), because in all covenants made between God and man, sin and sinfulness were ever supposed to be on man's side, and that God could not enter into any covenant or engagement with him without a purifier; hence, in all covenants, a sacrifice was offered for the removal of offenses, and the reconciliation of God to... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 6:19

To keep them alive - God might have destroyed all the animal creation, and created others to occupy the new world, but he chose rather to preserve those already created. The Creator and Preserver of the universe does nothing but what is essentially necessary to be done. Nothing should be wantonly wasted; nor should power or skill be lavished where no necessity exists; and yet it required more means and economy to preserve the old than to have created new ones. Such respect has God to the... read more
