564. Verse 1 And so it was that man began to multiply himself over the facea of the ground, and daughters were born to them.
'Man' here means the human race at that period of time. 'The facea 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.
