Genesis 6:5-11

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 6:1-8

CHAPTER 6:1-8 The Increasing Corruption 1. The sons of God and the daughters of men (Genesis 6:1-2 ) 2. The warning of Jehovah (Genesis 6:3 ) 3. Increased wickedness (Genesis 6:4-6 ) 4. Judgment announced (Genesis 6:7 ) 5. Noah found grace (Genesis 6:8 ) The question is who are the sons of God who took the daughters of men.

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.

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's Concise Bible Commentary - Genesis 6:1-8

THE FIRST CULMINATION OF SIN DEGENERATION The results of civilization were morally downward instead of upward, even the Sethites becoming corrupted in time as seen in the fact that after Enoch’s translation only Noah and his family were found faithful. Just as the translation of Enoch was a type of that of the church when Jesus comes, so the moral condition of the world after his translation is a type of that which shall prevail after the translation of the Church (see Luke 18:8 ; 2... read more

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 )?
