2. Sons of God Gen 4:4 the LORD respected Abel and his offering Heb 11:4 By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice Heb 11:4 through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts 1 John 3:11-12 12 not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother's righteous. Sons of Man Gen 4:5 He did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell. Gen 4:6-7 7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door Gen 4:8 Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him. Gen 4:9 He said ,"I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper? Jude 11 11 Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, have run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished in the rebellion of Korah

3. Sons of God Gen 5:24 And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him. Heb 11:5 for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. Jude 14-15 14 Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, "Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, 15 to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him." Son of Man Gen 4:17 And he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son — Enoch. Gen 4:19 Then Lamech took for himself two wives Gen 4:23-24 Then Lamech said to his wives: "Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Wives of Lamech, listen to my speech! For I have killed a man for wounding me,Even a young man for hurting me. 24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, Then Lamech seventy-sevenfold." Gen 4:19-22 20 And Adah bore Jabal. He was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock. 21 His brother's name was Jubal. He was the father of all those who play the harp and flute. 22 And as for Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every craftsman in bronze and iron. NKJV

4. Sons of God Gen 6:8-9 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God. Gen 7:5 5 And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him. Gen 8:20 Then Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. Heb 11:7 7 By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. 2 Peter 2:5 5 and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; Sons of Man Gen 6:2 2 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. Gen 6:4 4 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. Gen 6:5-6 the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

5. cubit - a measure of distance (the forearm), roughly 18 inches (.5 meters). • TO REMEMBER • zeker OT:2143, or zeker OT:2143, "remembrance; memorial." Of His covenant name, YHWH ("Lord"), God said: "...this is my memorial unto all generations" Ex 3:15; cf. Ps 30:4; 135:13. The name would recall His acts of covenant fulfillment. TO • REMEMBER • The noun 'azkarah means "memorial offering" and it occurs primarily in Leviticus. "Memorials" were directed toward God. A "memorial" portion of each meal offering was burnt on the altar Lev 2:2,9,16, in other words a small portion in place of the whole amount.

7. Now, as the water quieted down and retreated, the ark rested, on the seventeenth day of the • seventh month, on the Mountain of Ararat in Armenia -- its name derived from the acadian • word, (Ararto), meaning a high place -- It probably is the summit now called in Turkish, (Aghri-Da), that is 16916 feet above the sea level.

11. Covenant • COVENANT (Heb. berit, "cutting"). The term applied to various transactions between God and man, and man and his fellowman. In Obadiah (v. 7) it is rendered "allied." In the NT the word diatheke, "disposition" or "will" respecting a person or thing, is used; sometimes it is translated "Testament" (which see), at other times "covenant." • A mutual contract or agreement between two parties, each of which is bound to fulfill certain engagements to the other. In Scripture it is used mostly in an analogical sense, to denote certain relations between God and man.

12. A covenant between God and man. Man not being in any way in the position of an independent covenanting party, the phrase is evidently used by way of accommodation. or act of mere favor on God's part. • Thus the assurance given by God after the Flood that a like judgment should not be repeated, and that the recurrence of the seasons, and of day and night, should not cease, is called a covenant (Gen 9; Jer 33:20). • Generally, however, the form: of a covenant is maintained, by the benefits which God engages to bestow being made by him dependent upon the fulfillment of certain conditions which he imposes on man. • Thus the covenant with Abraham was conditioned by circumcision (Acts 7:8), the omission of which was declared tantamount to a breach of the covenant (Gen 17); • the covenant of the priesthood by zeal for God, his honor and service (Num 25:12,13; Deut 33:9; Neh 13:29 Mal 2:4,5); • the covenant of Sinai by the observance of the ten commandments (Ex 34:27,28; Lev 26:15), which are therefore called "Jehovah's covenant" (Deut 4:13)

13. Consistently with this representation of God's dealings with man under the form of a covenant, such covenant is said to be confirmed in conformity with human custom by an oath (Deut 4:31; Ps 89:3), to be sanctioned by curses to fall upon the unfaithful (Deut 29:21), and to be accompanied by a sign • such as the rainbow (Gen 9), circumcision (Gen 8), or the Sabbath (Ex 31:16,17). Hence, • in Scripture, the covenant of God is called his "counsel," his "oath," his "promise" (Ps 89:3,4; 105:8-11; Heb 6:13-20; Luke 1:68-75; Gal 3:15-18, etc.); • and it is described as consisting wholly in the gracious bestowal of blessing on men (Isa 59:21; Jer 31:33,34).

14. God's Covenant with Creation • Isa 54:7-10 • 7 "For a mere moment I have forsaken you, • But with great mercies I will gather you. • 8 With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment; But with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you," • Says the LORD, your Redeemer. 9 "For this is like the waters of Noah to Me; For as I have sworn That the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth, So have I sworn That I would not be angry with you, nor rebuke you. • 10 For the mountains shall depart And the hills be removed, • But My kindness shall not depart from you, Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed," • Says the LORD, who has mercy on you.
