Gen. 6:5      Gen. 6:7

Genesis 6:6

Then the Lord (Yahweh) truly regretted (sorrow-comforted – Hebr. nacham) that he had made the people on earth, yes, he was hurt (it pained him) – [right] into his [his] heart.
[The word for "repent" (Hebr. nacham) does not mean that God regrets his first decision in the sense of "realizing that it was wrong." The word means both to feel sorrow and to comfort, and the very process of moving from sorrow to giving comfort. The name of the prophet Nahum, which means comfort, has the same Hebrew root (nhm), see also Nah. 3:7; Ps. 23:4; 71:21. God feels sorrow that man fell into sin, but there is hope, comfort, and salvation! Jesus chose to work from Capernaum (Isa. 9:1; Matt. 4:13), which in Hebrew is Kfar Nachum – literally "the village of comfort"!
This verse contains three verbs (nacham, asah, and itsavon/asav) that echo what Lamech said about Noah in Gen. 5:29. They also appear in exactly the same order. The only difference is the grammar, which changes the meaning.]
