VERY BRIEF SUMMARY

Gn06-01:12 relates how the sexual corruption of Noachs generation
led God to want to destroy them. Rashi/Chazals interpretation of
CORRUPTION as SEXUAL is based on 4 Rashi techniques:
-- OTHER VERSES:Gn06-05:06 explicitly details sexual corrpution
-- WORD NUANCES:The Hebrew root Shin-Chet-Tauv denotes, not
DESTRUCTION, but gradual DETERIORATION and would denote a
sociey plagued by loose and low behavior
-- WORD NUANCES:The word FLESH denotes people in their capacity
as PHYSICAL BEINGS involved in the physical aspects of reality
-- DATABASE METHODS:Gods wrath is a response to sexual corruption



TODAYS LISTS

Yesterday we presented a list showing that God typically
gets angry at Sexual promiscuity We further showed that
this is consistent with interpreting the meaning of
Schth as SEXUAL IMMORALITY.

Today we show that FLESH means person.
A more detailed analysis shows that it
refers to people in their capacity for PHYSICALITY. Thus eg
the statement ALL FLESH WILL SEE I AM GOD emphasizes the
contrast that despite their physicality people will attain
a prophetic state The examples in this LIST are clear.

The point of bringing this list is that the verses
Gn06-11:12 -- ALL FLESH BECAME CORRUPT -- denotes a
corruption in peoples PHYSICALITY; consequently
interpreting this verse as SEXUAL CORRUPTION seems reasonable
