And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
When God was displeased with all mankind, He favored Noah alone, vindicating His justice and magnifying His mercy. The world hated Noah for condemning them by his life and preaching, yet he found grace in the Lord's eyes, which made him greater than all the giants of that age. Let finding grace in God's eyes be the summit of our ambition.

Commenting on Genesis 6:8-10
And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt,.... This is spoken as if he had never looked upon it before; whereas his eyes are always upon the earth, and the inhabitants of it, and upon all their ways and works: but this denotes the special notice he took, and the particular observation he made upon the condition and circumstances the earth, and its inhabitants, were in.
Gen 6:10-12 In Gen 6:10-12, the account of the birth of his three sons, and of the corruption of all flesh, is repeated. This corruption is represented as corrupting the whole earth and filling it with wickedness; and thus the judgment of the flood is for the first time fully accounted for.
