#Genesis
#SonsofGod
#Noah

This is a regular show hosted by #GregStafford with new videos uploaded or premiering most weekdays and Saturdays, followed by a separate Sunday show.

Our Day Text videos are about 20-60 minutes long. We discuss biblical and other ancient documents which are grouped together for the discussion, as we progressively work our way through biblical and related texts.

This show is about Genesis 6:5-12 from translations of both the Hebrew (H) and Greek (G) texts:

(H) 6:5 But Jaho(h)-ah began to see much evil because of mankind in the earth, and every type of thought [or, “every form of concept”] in a person’s mind was pure evil all the time.
(G) 6:5 But Lord God [Jaho(h)-ah] was watching, because the bad things of men were increased upon the earth and everything, anything he carefully intended to do in his heart was based on evil things every single day [or, “all the days”].

(H) 6:6 So Jaho(h)-ah began to feel sorry he had made mankind in the earth, and he began to feel displeasure within himself.
(G) 6:6 Then God [Jaho(h)-ah] was forced to evaluate what was happening, for he made mankind upon the earth and now it was of great concern.

(H) 6:7 Then Jaho(h)-ah began to say, “I will erase mankind whom I have created from upon areas of the earth, from mankind, to land animal, to crawling creature, to bird of the sky heavens because I have felt sorry that I made them."
(G) 6:7 And God said, “I will eliminate from the surface of the earth mankind whom I made, from mankind to land animal, to reptiles, to the bird of sky heaven since I felt great anger because I made them."

(H) 6:8 But Noah found approval in the eyes of Jaho(h)-ah.
(G) 6:8 But Noe found the right standing [or, “grace”] in the sight of Lord God [Jaho(h)-ah].

(H) 6:9 These are the past times of Noah: Noah was someone who did things right. He was just right in every way during his generation. Noah walked here and there [or, “lived life”] with God.
(G) 6:9 These are the histories of Noe: Noe was a righteous man, he being everything necessary among his generation. Noe was pleasing to God.

(H) 6:10 Then Noah had three sons called Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
(G) 6:10 Also, Noe brought forth three sons called Sem, Cham, and Iapheth.

(H) 6:11 But the earth began to lose its value according to God, when the earth became filled with error [or, “what is not right”].
(G) 6:11 But the earth became unusable in the sight of God, and it was filled with moral failures.

(H) 6:12 So God began to notice and, behold! The earth lost its value because it had become filled with error. All of humankind, where it concerned his chosen path, was in error upon the earth.
(G) 6:12 Then Lord God saw the earth and it had become destroyed, because all humankind [or, “all flesh”] destroyed its chosen path upon the earth.
