Genesis 6:3
And Jehovah will say, My spirit will not forever be low in man, for that he is flesh and his days were one hundred and twenty years.
And Jehovah said, My Spirit shall not always strive with man; in their erring he is flesh. And his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
Then the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.”
And the Lord God said, My Spirit shall certainly not remain among these men forever, because they are flesh, but their days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
Footnotes
| 223 | Strong’s #1777, din. To govern, judge, rule. This is the primary literal meaning. Often interpreted to mean “contend”, i.e. a dispute, here and in Ecc. 6:10. Dan’s name stems from this word (see Genesis 49:16). |
| 224 | My wind shall not strive in Adam. The Hebrew word בָֽאָדָם֙, ba-adam means “in Adam” and not “with”. Compare with Genesis 32:28 where Heel struggled with elohim, which is translated from שָׂרִ֧יתָ עִם־אֱלֹהִ֛ים, sarita [you struggled] im[with] elohim. Compare also with the word in the next verse, ba-eretz “in the earth”. There is a difference between elohim striving in Adam and Heel struggling with elohim. Yahweh here defines Adam as “flesh”. This is a significant and prophetic revelation of Christ in the fallen Flesh. “The Word became Flesh [that is, Adam] and made his dwelling within us” John 1:14 Literal. Christ has come into the Flesh of humanity, us. Remember that it pleased Yahweh to crush him (Isa. 53:10). |
| 225 | Hebrew בְּשַׁגַּ֖ם in-whom-also, this rare construct occurs only once where gam meaning also, is used over 500 times in the scriptures. |
