Genesis 6:9

“These are the generations of Noah, etc.] Or this is the account of his posterity, of the persons that were generated by him, that sprung from him, and peopled the earth after the flood, who are mentioned in the next verse, what follows being to be put in a parenthesis; as the genealogy of Adam is carried on from Adam to Noah, (<010501>Genesis 5:1-32) so the old world ending at the flood, the genealogy of the new world begins with Noah: though Aben Ezra and Ben Gersome interpret the word “events”, things which days bring forth, (<202701>Proverbs 27:1) these are the events or the things which befell Noah, of which an account is given in this and some following chapters, whose character is next…”

“Noah . . . just . . . and perfect--not absolutely; for since the fall of Adam no man has been free from sin except Jesus Christ. But as living by faith he was just (Gal 3:2; Heb 11:7) and perfect--that is, sincere in his desire to do God's will.”

“- Section VI - The Deluge - XXIII. The Ark 9. דור dôr “age, time from birth to death,” applied either to an individual or the whole contemporary race, running parallel with some leading individual. Hence, the “race” or “generation” living during that time. 14. תבה tēbâh “chest, ark.” It is used only of this vessel of Noah’s construction, and of the little vessel in which Moses was put Exodus 2:3, Exodus 2:5. The root, according to Furst, means “to be hollow.” אבה 'ēbeh a cognate word, signifies “a reed;” κιβωτός kibōtos Septuagint. גפר goper α. λ., perhaps “fir, cypress, resinous wood.” קן qēn “nest, room; related: prepare, rear up.” 16. צהר tsohar “shining, light;” not the same as…”

“Noah was a just man - Justified before God by faith in the promised seed; for he was an heir of the righteousness which is by faith, Heb 11:7. He was sanctified, and had right principles and dispositions implanted in him: and he was righteous in his conversation, one that made conscience of rendering to all their due, to God his due, and to men theirs. And he walked with God as Enoch had done before him: in his generation, even in that corrupt degenerate age. It is easy to be religious when religion is in fashion; but it is an evidence of strong faith to swim against the stream, and to appear for God, when no one else appears for him: so Noah did, and it is upon record to his immortal…”

“6:9 the account: See study note on 2:4 • a righteous man, the only blameless person: The text does not claim that Noah was without sin (see Rom 5:12-14). Noah’s righteousness and blamelessness came about because he walked in close fellowship with God. See also Gen 7:1; 17:1; Heb 11:7.”

“These: Gen 2:4, Gen 5:1, Gen 10:1 just: Gen 7:1; Job 12:4; Pro 4:18; Ecc 7:20; Eze 14:14, Eze 14:20; Hab 2:4; Luk 2:25; Luk 23:50; Act 10:22; Rom 1:17; Gal 3:11; Heb 11:7; Pe2 2:5 perfect: or, upright, Ch2 15:17, Ch2 25:2; Job 1:1, Job 1:8; Psa 37:37; Luk 1:6; Phi 3:9-15 and Noah: Gen 5:22, Gen 5:24, Gen 17:1, Gen 48:15; Kg1 3:6; Luk 1:6; Pe1 2:5 Genesis 6:10”

“"Noah, a righteous man, was blameless among his generations:" righteous in his moral relation to God; blameless (&#x3c4;&#x3b5; &#x3bb;&#x3b5;&#x3b9;&#x3bf;&#x3c2;, integer) in his character and conduct. , &#x3b3;&#x3b5;&#x3bd;&#x3b5;&#x3b1;&#x3b9; , were the generations or families "which passed by Noah, the Nestor of his time." His righteousness and integrity were manifested in his walking with God, in which he resembled Enoch (Gen 5:22). Gen 6:10-12 In Gen 6:10-12, the account of the birth of his three sons, and of the corruption of all flesh, is repeated. This corruption is represented as corrupting the whole earth and filling it with wickedness; and thus the judgment of the flood is for…”
