Genesis6:7
7. And the LORD said, I will destroy man, whom I have created, from the face of the Earth: both Man and Beast , and the creeping thing, and the Fowls of the Air: For it repenteth me that I have made them.
For as the Beasts were made for mans use and service, so they are destroyed for mans punishment, and to discover the malignity of sin, and Gods deep abhorrency thereof, by destroying those innocent Creatures that had been made instrumental to it.
Marginal references: Heb. from man unto beast.
