Obviously, they could not multiply without “daughters”. When they began to multiply, we are specifically told “daughters were born unto them” being Adam and Eve. This means mankind from the Sixth Day of Genesis had sons and daughters for two thousand years before Adam was ever “formed”, (2 Peter 3:8).Īll of these facts help us understand, Genesis 6:1 is discussing Adam and his descendants.

We have to remember, our Heavenly Father “created” mankind (all races) on the Sixth Day of Genesis, while Adam was “formed” after the Sabbath Day, (Genesis 1:26-27, 2:5-7, see: Did We All Come From Adam And Eve? ).

“The man” we know as Adam from Genesis 5 where his genealogy was laid out. The Hebrew manuscripts make it clear, we are discussing “the man” previously mentioned in Scripture. In English we have “men” which is plural, in the Hebrew manuscripts where our text came from, it is singular, denoted with the Hebrew “article” which adds “the” in front of the word “man”. The first thing we must understand is the word “men” has been improperly translated. Please read Did We All Come From Adam And Eve? to understand the Hebrew. Green’s Interlinear Bible: Full Verse of Genesis 6:1 We will not read about Noah’s day until verse 4, and pay very close attention to the events that are transpiring, and ask why they occurred, and why are we being told about them.ġ “And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,” We will now turn our Bible to Genesis 6 which brings us to the time of Adam. We know from Scripture, God constantly intervened to keep them on course or bring them back from sin.Įven more important, Adam, Noah, and the Israelites would become the family in the flesh of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. If the Israelites had been left on their own, they would have failed miserably in their mission. The reason for a chosen people was to provide God with a family He could lead, and direct in order to ensure His Word made it through the generations down to us today, (Acts 10:36, Mark 16:15). Yet, God does not play favorites, (Romans 2:11). Our Father has made it very clear, the Israelites, “art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth”, (Deuteronomy 7:6). Some of the Adamites would later be known as Hebrews who were eventually called Israelites, and they formed the 12 Tribes of Israel. In Genesis 5 we learn Noah and his family were descendants of Adam, (Adamites). Christ made this point as well by explaining, “ before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage”, (Matthew 24:38). In order to set the stage for this study, we should understand Genesis 5-6 concerns genealogies, marriage, and the bearing of children.
