Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Genesis 8:1-19

The flood (6:9-8:19)Amid the corruption, there was one man, Noah, who remained faithful to God. Therefore, God promised to preserve Noah, along with his family, so that when the former evil race had been destroyed, he could use Noah and his family to build a new people (9-12; cf. Hebrews 11:7; 2 Peter 2:4-5; 2 Peter 2:4-5).God’s means of destruction was a great flood. Besides preserving Noah and his family, God preserved a pair of each kind of animals in the region, thereby helping to maintain... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 8:4

"And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat."For the duration of the Flood, see Genesis 8:14."Upon the mountains of Ararat ..." This designates, not a particular peak, but a district, described by Skinner thus: "It is the province of Armenia lying northeast of Lake Van, including the fertile plain watered by the Araxes, on the right (southwest) side of which Mount Massis rises."[6] The area is that which lies along the alluvial... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 8:5

"And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month, on the first day of the month were the tops of the mountains seen."This would indicate that the ark came to rest in an area of mountains; and the inference is that if the ark had been resting upon any except the tallest within eyesight, the mountains would have been seen before the ark rested. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 8:4

Genesis 8:4. The ark rested in the seventh month.— Of the year; that is, not of the flood, as appears from Genesis 8:13-14. as well as from Gen 8:11 of the former chapter: on the tenth month of the year the tops of the mountains were seen, Genesis 8:5. After tossing on the billows, at last the ark rests on Ararat. Note; Though the church suffer long in this tempestuous world, it shall rest at last upon the mount of God. It was two months and upwards after they felt ground, before the mountains... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 8:5

Genesis 8:5. Tops of the mountains seen— This is no contradiction to the former verse, in which it is said, that the ark rested on the mountains of Ararat; for it is very easy to conceive, that a vessel of so heavy burden as the ark was, might rest upon the earth when there were several feet of water still prevailing. read more

4. seventh month—of the year—not of the flood—which lasted only five months. rested—evidently indicating a calm and gentle motion. upon the mountains of Ararat—or Armenia, as the word is rendered (2 Kings 19:37; Isaiah 37:38). The mountain which tradition points to as the one on which the ark rested is now called Ara Dagh, the "finger mountain." Its summit consists of two peaks, the higher of which is 17,750 feet and the other 13,420 above the level of the sea. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Genesis 8:1-5

When Moses wrote that God remembered someone (Genesis 8:1), he meant God extended mercy to him or her by delivering that person from death (here; cf. Genesis 19:29) or from barrenness (Genesis 30:22). [Note: Hamilton, p. 299.] God’s rescue of Noah foreshadows His deliverance of Israel in the Exodus (cf. Genesis 8:13-14 and Exodus 2:24; Exodus 14:21). [Note: Sailhamer, The Pentateuch . . ., p. 127; idem, "Genesis," p. 89.] "’Ararat,’ known as ancient Urartu in Assyrian records, was an extensive... read more
