EXPLANATION

Verse 4. Cause. The wickedness of the race of Cain. Calmet.—Just. Noe.—Wood. Who would have thought that such a vessel would save mankind, and so forth amid the raging storms? Noe must have been an able mechanic: ( Calmet.) but God both directed him, and closed up the door. Genesis 7:16. Bible.
