watertankIt's interesting to trace moments in the Torah where Lord God shows emotions. For example, the days of creation definitely make him feel good about what is going on on earth (e.g. Gen. 1.31). Remarkably, episodes with the forbidden fruit, expulsion of Man from Eden, and Qayin's crime leave him emotionally unaffected, as if everything comes as expected, or he doesn't attach too much significance to the events.
The next time Lord God shows his feelings is before the flood, when "And the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that all the impulse of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord repented that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart." (Gen. 6.5).
