Genesis 6 marks a profound turning point in humanity's early history, depicting a world overwhelmed by corruption and violence. The narrative opens with the mysterious “sons of God” intermarrying with “daughters of humans,” leading to the birth of the Nephilim and a rapid escalation of wickedness. God's heart is grieved by humanity's depravity, prompting His decision to send a global flood to cleanse the earth. Amidst this judgment, Noah is introduced as a righteous man who finds favor in the Lord's eyes, chosen to preserve life and carry forward God's redemptive plan.
