Study the interpretations and make up your mind but be careful not to miss the forest (God's global flood) because of the trees (interpretative difficulties)! Let the main things will be the plain things! Jack Arnold - This chapter tells of the collapse of man’s first attempt at civilization. The general truths in Genesis 6 can be applied to all civilizations. Arnold Toynbee, a renowned historian, has indicated there have been in the past some twenty-one or more different civilizations, each one in turn collapsing and giving way to another. Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them - At this time they were fulfilling God's command “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth." (Ge 1:28) Things will soon take a divinely ordained dramatic shift! Wenham has an interesting note that "in the Atrahasis epic the multiplication of mankind is mentioned shortly before the divine decree to send a catastrophic flood." - "When the land extended and the peoples multiplied. The land was bellowing like a bull" (Atrahasis 2:1, 2–3).
