i think they did. i think something was not right with the people in canaan. this is the part of the bible where the Lord orders everyone killed, women, children. women could be bad i guess but kids? i think there was something more than just sin, its the only thing that makes sense to me.

God said that wickedness was the reason those people were killed. The population practiced all the abominations of Leviticus, so without getting too explicit, disease (especially STD) would have been rampant - this is also why animals needed to be killed.

Do not say in your heart, after the LORD your God has thrust them out before you, ‘It is because of my righteousness that the LORD has brought me in to possess this land,’ whereas it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the LORD is driving them out before you. (Deut. 9:4)

You must not live according to the customs of the nations I am going to drive out before you. Because they did all these things, I abhorred them. (Lv. 20:23)

Wickedness does not require a race of angel-men. I am unaware of any place in Scripture where God says He judged those nations (in whole or in part) because of their bloodline.

i agree mankind has only itself to blame. we have free will therefore we have a choice which path to follow. but i do believe there are evil forces out there.

It is all one sentence, God had to name who actually went into the ark. When I write a couple's name on a greeting card or an envelope I always put the man first- such as "To Mr. & Mrs. Smith" or "To Bob & Jane" or if they have kids "To Bob, Jane & Kids" or "To Bob, Jane, Kevin, & Sara". Just because I put the man first does not mean they had separate greeting cards. And if Bob came in my door, then Jane, then Kevin, then Sara, it would be because they couldn't all fit through my door at the same time. And it doesn't mean they came at separate times, or went into separate rooms.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 7. - And Noah went in. I.e. began to go in a full week before the waters came (vide ver. 10). "A proof of faith and a warning to the world." And his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him. In all eight persons (1 Peter 3:20); whence it is obvious that "each had but one wife, and that polygamy, as it began among the Cainites, was most probably confined to them" (Poole). Into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. Literally, from the face of the waters, being moved with fear and impelled by faith (Hebrews 11:7).

Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark,.... Within the space of the seven days, between the command of God to go into it, and the coming of the flood; or rather on the seventh day, on which it began to rain; when he saw it was coming on, see Genesis 7:11.


Genesis 7:7 And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood.

Genesis 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, on the seventeenth day of the second month--on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.
