Genesis 6:14 records God’s command: “Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.” The ark was God’s chosen means to save Noah, his family, and the animals from the judgment of the flood. More than a vessel, it carries deep spiritual...

Genesis 6:8 declares: “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.” This statement is remarkable because it appears in the midst of a passage describing the complete corruption of humanity. Genesis 6:5 says: “Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every...

Genesis 7:12 gives the specific duration: “And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.” For forty days and nights, God poured out relentless rain upon the earth as part of His judgment. However, the floodwaters did not subside immediately after this period. Genesis 7:17 explains:...

Genesis 6:5 gives the reason clearly: “Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” Humanity had reached a state of complete moral corruption. Sin was not occasional; it dominated every...

Genesis 6:4 says: “There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.” The term “Nephilim” is often understood to mean “fallen ones,”...

Genesis 6:1–2 states: “Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.” The phrase “sons of God” refers...

After Cain killed Abel, the Lord confronted him and pronounced judgment in Genesis 4:11–12: “So now you are cursed from the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield its strength to you. A fugitive and a...

Genesis 3:21 tells us: “Also for Adam and his wife the Lord God made tunics of skin, and clothed them.” After Adam and Eve sinned, they realized their nakedness and tried to cover themselves with fig leaves (Genesis 3:7). These coverings were inadequate because they were a human attempt to deal...

Genesis 3:15 is often called the protoevangelium, the first announcement of the gospel: “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.” This statement, spoken by God to the serpent after the fall,...

Genesis 3:7–8 records their immediate reaction: “Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings. And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and...
