Genesis 6:1
1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
|
Genesis 6:2
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.
What are the sons of God?
What are the daughters of men?
|
Genesis 6:3
3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
What do you think caused the strife?
Was God saying man's life expectancy was going to be 120 years or the flood would come in 120 years?
|
Genesis 6:4
4 There were giants 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 became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
What made the giants?
Who were the "men which were of old"?
Was Adam still alive?
|
Genesis 6:5
5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
What made the wickedness great?
Why does it say, "in the earth"?
Was there some other place?
|
Genesis 6:6
6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
|
Genesis 6:7
7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
Is God sorry He made the beast, creeping things and fowls too?
Did they become wicked as well?
|
Genesis 6:8
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
|
Genesis 6:9
9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
What made Noah perfect?
What does it mean, "in his generations"?
|
Genesis 6:10
10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
|
Genesis 6:11
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
How was the earth corrupt?
Is the violence speaking of earthquakes and other natural disasters?
|
Genesis 6:12
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
"all flesh" Is this speaking of animals as well?
Do you ever think that animals today are corrupt?
|
Genesis 6:13
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Is God speaking of the planet when He says, "I will destroy them with the earth"?
|
Genesis 6:14
14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
What is gopher wood?
What is pitch?
Do you think the ark stank?
|
Genesis 6:15
15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
Why does God want us to know the blueprint?
|
Genesis 6:16
16 A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
|
Genesis 6:17
17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
Do you think this would have left a big stench on the earth?
|
Genesis 6:18
18 But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
What happened to his father Lamech?
|
Genesis 6:19
19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
How many of the animals that had both sexes do you think Noah brought on the ark?
|
Genesis 6:20
20 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
|
Genesis 6:21
21 And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
How much food do you think they needed?
|
Genesis 6:22
22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
