Genesis 6:7

And Yahweh is saying, `I am blotting-out אֶת-the Red-one whom I have cut out from upon the faces of the Red-one,237 from the Red-one until a behemah, until a crawling-one, and until the flying one of the Dual-Heavens, for I have been consoled that I have made them.`238

Footnote:

237

I wipe out. This is the same verb, machah that forms the name Mehujael, the great-grandson of Cain. See Genesis 4:18. The perfect have cut out signifies the end of the story of God’s creative work of Adam, when he wipes him out.
