564. Verse 1 And so it was that man began to multiply himself over the face 1 of the ground, and daughters were born to them.

'Man' here means the human race at that period of time. 'The face 1 of the ground' means the whole of that area where the Church was. 'Daughters' here means the things that constituted the will of that man, and so means evil desires.

Fußnoten:

1. literally, the faces
