God’s Grief over Humankind’s Wickedness
6:1When humankind1 began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born2 to them,3
Footnotes
- 1 The Hebrew text has the article prefixed to the noun. Here the article indicates the generic use of the word אָדָם (’adam): “humankind.”
- 2 This disjunctive clause (conjunction + subject + verb) is circumstantial to the initial temporal clause. It could be rendered, “with daughters being born to them.” For another example of such a disjunctive clause following the construction וַיְהִיכִּי (vayéhiki, “and it came to pass when”), see 2 Sam 7:1.
- 3 The pronominal suffix is third masculine plural, indicating that the antecedent “humankind” is collective.
