Re: Genesis 6
I have finally gotten to Alfred Edersheim's book "Bible History, Old Testament"
And here is an excerpt from his book:
The corruption of mankind reached its highest point when even the difference between the Sethites and the Cainites became obliterated by intermarriages between the two parties, and that from sensual motives. We read that “the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.” At that time the earth must have been in a great measure peopled, and its state is thus described, “And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”
Thank You Elder Esaias for all the patience teaching and wonderful book recommendations through the years on this forum.
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for all I've learned here on AFF from so many to include Elders Benincasa and Votivesoul, and others also.
