Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 6:2

Genesis 6:2. 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 which they chosen They chose only by the eye. They saw that they were fair Which was all they looked at. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 6:3

Genesis 6:3. My spirit shall not always strive with man The Spirit then strove by Noah’s preaching, 1 Peter 3:19, and by inward checks, but it was in vain with the most of men; therefore, saith God, he shall not always strive, for that he (man) also is flesh Incurably corrupt and sensual, so that it is labour lost to strive with him. He also; that is, all, one as well as another; they are all sunk into the mire of flesh. Yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years So long... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 6:4

Genesis 6:4. There were giants Men so called partly for their high stature, but principally for their great strength and force, whereby they oppressed and tyrannised over others. For this is mentioned as another sin and cause of the flood. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Genesis 6:1-8

6:1-9:29 REBELLION AND JUDGMENTThe wickedness of human society (6:1-8)As the population grew and societies developed, people again showed the tendency to want to exist independently of God. Like their original ancestors, they wanted to be as God and live for ever (cf. 3:5,22).It seems that certain angels (the probable meaning of ‘sons of God’ in this story; cf. Job 1:6; Job 38:7; Daniel 3:25) had, in rebellion against God, taken human form and co-operated with ambitious people in trying to... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 6:1-2

"And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all that they chose."The problem that immediately confronts us here regards the identity of the "sons of God." All efforts to identify these with angels or other supernatural creatures should be rejected.THE "SONS OF GOD" WERE NOT ANGELSThe reasons why this passage cannot be applied either to... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 6:3

"And Jehovah said, My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for that he also is flesh: yet shall his days be a hundred and twenty years."This signals the withdrawal of the Holy Spirit from those who already had hardened their hearts against God, and we find in this the first Scriptural instance of Judicial Hardening, a phenomenon witnessed again and again throughout the Bible. It is not so designated here, but that is undeniably what it is. This is equivalent in every way to Paul's... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 6:4

"The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them; the same were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown.""The Nephilim were in the earth in those days ..." This is a citation of the time when the unlawful marriages proliferated and represents those marriages as "an event that followed the appearance of the Nephilim."[7] We must therefore disagree with Willis who thought that the... read more
