Genesis 8:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 8:3

Noah’s Deliverance

1 Then God ^aremembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. ^bAnd God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.

2 ^aThe fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were also ^bstopped, and ^cthe rain from heaven was restrained.

3 And the waters receded continually from the earth. At the end ^aof the hundred and fifty days the waters decreased.

4 Then the ark rested in the seventh month, the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.

5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.

6 So it came to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah ^aopened the window of the ark which he had made.

7 Then he sent out a raven, which kept going to and fro until the waters had dried up from the earth.
