Genesis 8:21
ContextNETBible | And the Lord smelled the soothing aroma 1 and said 2 to himself, 3 “I will never again curse 4 the ground because of humankind, even though 5 the inclination of their minds 6 is evil from childhood on. 7 I will never again destroy everything that lives, as I have just done. |

NET © Notes |
1 tn The 2 tn Heb “and the 3 tn Heb “in his heart.” 4 tn Here the Hebrew word translated “curse” is קָלָל (qalal), used in the Piel verbal stem. 5 tn The Hebrew particle כִּי (ki) can be used in a concessive sense (see BDB 473 s.v. כִּי), which makes good sense in this context. Its normal causal sense (“for”) does not fit the context here very well. 6 tn Heb “the inclination of the heart of humankind.” 7 tn Heb “from his youth.” |
