Chasidut su Genesi 6:2

God began to shine the words of Torah to man from the very day he was created. This is because the God created the world with the Torah.³²Referring to the famous statement in the Zohar and the Midrash, that “God looked into the Torah, and created the world.” Since man was created through the vehicle of the very letters of the Torah, he was illuminated with the very knowledge with which he was created, and which consitutes the root of his life. Consider the following passages in the Zohar:³³The following passages all relate that from the very creation of Adam, God gave man a book of rules and meditations through which he could live a just life and come to a knowledge of his Creator. And Rabbi Abba said, “We know that a book descended to Adam HaRishon, and through it he knew and understood the supernal wisdom. This book reached the, ‘bnei Elohim,’³⁴See Bereshit, 6:2. who were the sages of the generation, and whoever else was worthy of looking into it. In this way they arrived at the knowledge of supernal wisdom … Similarly, it is taught that Hanokh had a book, and this book was from the place of the book of the Generations of Man.”³⁵See Bereshit, 5:1. (Zohar, Bereshit, 37b): We have already explained that when Adam was in the Garden of Eden God sent him a book through Raziel, the holy angel in charge of the mysteries of the holy supernal ones. Supernal impressions were imprinted in this book, holy wisdom, and seventy-two kinds of wisdom were explained in three hundred and seventy engravings of supernal mysteries. He left this book to his son Shet and all his descendants until it reached Avraham. By means of it, Avraham knew how to gaze upon the Glory of his Master. This has been explained. Similarly, Adam gave a book to his son Hanokh, from which he looked upon the supernal Glory.”(Zohar, Bereshit, 55b) Come and see! From his childhood, Noah saw the actions of man and how they sinned against the Holy One, blessed be He. So he hid himself, and occupied himself with the service of his Master … If you ask, what book did he use to contemplate Divine service? He studied the book of Adam and the book of Hanokh in order to know how to serve his Master. (Zohar, Bereshit, 58b) Rabbi Shimon said, if I had been alive at the time when the Holy One, blessed be He, gave the book to Hanokh and to Adam, I would have made great efforts that they not become accessible to people. (Zohar, Noah, 78b)

A completely different approach to the phrase ‎ונח מצא חן בעיני ה‎': when the tzaddik, ‎righteous person, finds something that appeals to him, he endeavours to use it or part of it, to ‎enhance his service of the Creator. When he sees a person enthusiastically preparing to commit a ‎sin, he reflects that he should be equally if not even more enthusiastic in his service of the Lord, ‎i.e. he uses even negative phenomena to sublimate them and use them positively, constructively. ‎The Torah in Genesis 6,2-reported on the elite of mankind, ‎בני אלו-הים‎ selecting ‎בנות האדם‎, ‎morally inferior women, as their mates, showing thereby that they considered these women as ‎possessing ‎חן‎, “charm, grace,” possessing desirable qualities. The Torah testifies that Noach ‎resisted such attractions, though he had found them. He willed himself to be attracted to G’d ‎instead, exhorting His qualities, instead of the shallow qualities exuded by the ‎בנות האדם‎. ‎ ‎
