NASB | Genesis 6:7 The LORD said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 6:7 So the LORD said, "I will destroy (annihilate) mankind whom I have created from the surface of the earth--not only man, but the animals and the crawling things and the birds of the air--because it [deeply] grieves Me [to see mankind's sin] and I regret that I have made them." |
Bible Question:
Risen, Again, thanks for the website, but after viewing the website, I have not found an answer to my orginal question. Numbers 23:19 states (NASB), 'God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent; Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?' Is there a contradiction between this verse (Genesis 6:7) and Numbers 23:19? Thanks in advance, Nolan! |
Bible Answer: Nolan, the closest I can get to answer you is this from the International Bible Commentary - Scripture sometimes speaks of God changing his mind (English versions say repenting) but this is God's unmovedness while others move and change. The divine finger ever points to the same spot but man has moved from it to the opposite pole. |
