28) \u201cAnd the earth became corrupt before God.\u201d Why is it written, \u201cBefore God,\u201d which is obvious? Because they committed their sins openly, it is written, \u201cBefore God.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
29) \u201cAnd the earth became corrupt before God.\u201d Initially, it was before God; they did not sin openly. They did their deeds before God and not before people. But in the end, they did their deeds openly. And in both manners, it is written that they sinned, in hiding and openly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
30) Since the day Adam broke his Master\u2019s commandment, all the people born after him were called \u201csons of Adam.\u201d It is not a praise that they are called so. Rather, it is as one who says, \u201cThe sons of so and so who broke the commandment of his Master.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
31) Since Noah came, the people of the world are named after Noah, \u201cthe generations of Noah.\u201d This is a praise, since Noah sustained them in the world and not the generations of Adam, who removed them from the world and caused death to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
32) \u201cAnd the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men had built.\u201d It is written, \u201csons of men,\u201d and it is not written, \u201csons of Noah,\u201d although they came from Noah. But because Adam sinned before his Master, the text attributes them to sons of men, and it would be better for him if he were not created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
33) It is written, \u201cA wise son makes a father glad.\u201d If the son is good, all the people of the world mention his father favorably. If the son is bad, everyone mentions his father unfavorably. Because Adam sinned and broke the commandment of his Master, when those builders of the tower came and rebelled against their Master, it is written about them, \u201cthat the sons of men had built,\u201d the sons of Adam HaRishon who rebelled against his Master and broke His commandment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
34) This is why it is written, \u201cThese are the generations of Noah.\u201d These are regarded as offspring [generations], and not the first. These\u2014who emerged and came out from the ark\u2014are offspring, and not the offspring of Adam, who went out from the Garden of Eden and did not take them out from there. This is why they are not sustainable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
