[NCE]591. Genesis 6:7. And Jehovah said, "I will obliterate the human whom I created from the face of the ground, from human to beast to creeping animal to the bird in the heavens, because I regret that I made these things."
Jehovah said, "I will obliterate the human," means that humanity would annihilate itself. "Whom I created from the face of the ground" symbolizes those who were descendants of the earliest church. "From human to beast to creeping animal" means that whatever was in their will would annihilate them. "To the bird in the heavens" means whatever was in their intellect or thoughts. "Because I regret{*1} that I made these things" symbolizes compassion, as above [587-588].
Footnotes:
{*1} The reading "regret" (paenitet) for the first Latin edition's "regretted" (paenituit) is adopted from the immediately preceding full quotation of this verse. [LHC]

591. Verse 7. And Jehovah said, I will destroy man whom I have created from upon the faces of the ground; both man and beast, and creeping thing, and fowl of the heavens; for it repenteth Me that I have made them. "Jehovah said, I will destroy man" signifies that man would extinguish himself; "whom I have created, from upon the faces of the ground" signifies the man of the posterity of the Most Ancient Church; "both man and beast and creeping thing" signifies that whatsoever is of the will would extinguish him; "and fowl of the heavens" is whatever is of the understanding or thought; "for it repenteth Me that I have made them" signifies as before, compassion.

591. Verse 7 And Jehovah said, I will wipe out man whom I have created from upon the facea of the ground, from man even to beast, even to creeping thing, and even to birds of the air;b for I repent of having made them.
'Jehovah said, I will wipe out man' means that man would bring about his own end. 'Whom I have created from upon the facea of the ground' means mankind among the descendants of the Most Ancient Church. 'From man even to beast, and even to creeping thing' is the fact that everything belonging to his will would bring about his end. 'Even to birds of the air'b is everything belonging to the understanding or thought. 'For I repent of having made them', as previously, means compassion.
Latin(1748-1756) 591
591. Vers. 7. Et dixit Jehovah, Delebo hominem quem creavi desuper faciebus humi, ab homine usque ad bestiam, usque ad reptile, et usque ad avem caelorum, quia paenitet Me quod feci ea. 'Quod dixerit Jehovah, Delebo hominem' significat quod homo se exstingueret: 'quem creavi desuper faciebus humi' significat hominem a posteritate Antiquissimae Ecclesiae: 'ab homine usque ad bestiam, et usque ad reptile' est quod quicquid est voluntatis exstingueret eum: 'usque ad avem caelorum' est quicquid est intellectus seu cogitationis: 'quia paenituit Me quod feci ea' significat, ut prius, miserationem.
