19.God is not man, that he should lie,or a son of man, that he should (change his mind).Has he said, and will he not do it?Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?

Genesis
6.And it (repented) the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his (heart).

Repent:to feel sorry, self-reproachful, or contrite for past conduct; regret or be conscience-stricken about a past action, attitude, etc.

It surely sounds like the Lord changed his mind to me.

The Numbers verse is saying God doesn't change His mind like a man. Does that mean He can change His mind in a different way from a man?

When God said He was sorry He made man I believe He is sorry in the same way a parent is sorry when they have to punish their child which makes the child annoyed at the parent. They are sorry that the child is annoyed with them, but reguardless they know it was right to punish the child and would do it again if they had to. In this way God can be sorry in the short term (that made in sinning) but happy in the long term (that man is worth making).

Gods idea of punishment in those days was physical death.In the verse I cited in Genesis our loving God decided to spare Noah and his family and some of the Earths animal life and destroyed the rest of mankind.Just like some angry brat with a magnifying glass over an ant hill.LOL
There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
