A TRANSLATION WITH ANNOTATIONS

NET  The LORD regretted24 that he had made humankind on the earth, and he was highly offended.25

NET Notes (Gen 6:6)

24 tn Or "was grieved"; "was sorry." In the Niphal stem the verb נָחָם  (nakham) can carry one of four semantic meanings, depending on the context: (1) "to experience emotional pain or weakness," "to feel regret," often concerning a past action (see Exod 13:17; Judg 21:6, 15; 1 Sam 15:11, 35; Job 42:6; Jer 31:19(. In several of these texts ) כִּיki, "because") introduces the cause of the emotional sorrow. (2) Another meaning is "to be comforted" or "to comfort oneself" (sometimes by taking vengeance). See Gen 24:67; 38:12; 2 Sam 13:39; Ps 77:3; Isa 1:24; Jer 31:15; Ezek 14:22; 31:16; 32:31. (This second category represents a polarization of category one.) (3) The meaning "to relent from" or "to repudiate" a course of action which is already underway is also possible (see Judg 2:18; 2 Sam 24:16 = 1 Chr 21:15; Pss 90:13; 106:45; Jer 8:6; 20:16; 42:10). (4) Finally, "to retract" (a statement) or "to relent or change one's mind concerning," "to deviate from" (a stated course of action) is possible (see Exod 32:12, 14; 1 Sam 15:29; Ps 110:4; Isa 57:6; Jer 4:28; 15:6; 18:8, 10; 26:3, 13, 19; Ezek 24:14; Joel 2:13–14; Am 7:3, 6; Jonah 3:9–10; 4:2; Zech 8:14). See R. B. Chisholm, "Does God 'Change His Mind'?" BSac 152 (1995): 388. The first category applies here because the context speaks of God's grief and emotional pain (see the following statement in v. 6) as a result of a past action (his making humankind). For a thorough study of the word נָחָם, see H. Van Dyke Parunak, "A Semantic Survey of NHM," Bib 56 (1975): 512-32.

25 tn Heb "and he was grieved to his heart." The verb ) עָצָב'atsav( can carry one of three semantic senses, depending on the context: (1) "to be injured" (Ps 56:5; Eccl 10:9; 1 Chr 4:10); (2) "to experience emotional pain"; "to be depressed emotionally"; "to be worried" (2 Sam 19:2; Isa 54:6; Neh 8:10–11); (3) "to be embarrassed"; "to be offended" (to the point of anger at another or oneself); "to be insulted" (Gen 34:7; 45:5; 1 Sam 20:3, 34; 1 Kgs 1:6; Isa 63:10; Ps 78:40). This third category develops from the second by metonymy. In certain contexts emotional pain leads to embarrassment and/or anger. In this last use the subject sometimes directs his anger against the source of grief (see especially Gen 34:7). The third category fits best in Gen 6:6 because humankind's sin does not merely wound God emotionally. On the contrary, it prompts him to strike out in judgment against the source of his distress )see v. 7(. The verb וַיִּתְעַצֵּב )vayyit'atsev(, a Hitpael from עָצָב, alludes to the judgment oracles in Gen 3:16–19. Because Adam and Eve sinned, their life would be filled with pain; but sin in the human race also brought pain to God. The wording of v. 6 is ironic when compared to Gen 5:29. Lamech anticipated relief נָחָם), nakham( from their work מַעֲשֶׂה), ma'aseh( and their painful toil עִצְּבֹן), 'its®von(, but now we read that God was sorry נָחָם), nakham( that he had made עָשָׂה), 'asah( humankind for it brought him great pain עָצָב), 'atsav(.

L'AMORE DI DIO È SELETTIVO

"...Il SIGNORE vide che la malvagità degli uomini
era grande sulla terra e che il loro cuore concepiva

soltanto disegni malvagi in ogni tempo.
Il SIGNORE si pentì d'aver fatto l'uomo sulla terra,

e se ne addolorò in cuor suo.
E il SIGNORE disse: «Io sterminerò

dalla faccia della terra
l'uomo che ho creato: dall'uomo al bestiame,

ai rettili, agli uccelli dei cieli;
perché mi pento di averli fatti».

Ma Noè trovò grazia agli occhi del SIGNORE...."
