Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Genesis 7:10-16

- XXV. The FloodThe date is here given, at which the flood commenced and the entrance into the ark was completed. “In seven days.” On the seventh day from the command. “In the second month.” The primeval year commenced about the autumnal equinox; we may say, on the nearest new moon. The rains began about a month or six weeks after the equinox, and, consequently, not far from the seventeenth of the second month. “All the fountains of the great deep, and the windows of the skies.” It appears that... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Genesis 7:1-24

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 7:10-12

"And it came to pass after the seven days that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of the heavens were opened. And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights."Genesis 7:11 here, is for the purpose of precisely dating the coming of the Flood. Of course, the exact manner of counting years... read more

"In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark; they, and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort. And they went in unto Noah into the ark; two and two of all flesh wherein is the breath of life. And they that went in, went in male and... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Genesis 7:11-24

The Flood proper 7:11-24There are two views among evangelicals as to the extent of the Flood.1. The flood was universal in that it covered the entire earth. Here is a summary of the evidence that supports this view.a. The purpose of the Flood (Genesis 6:5-7; Genesis 6:11-13).b. The need for an ark (Genesis 6:14).c. The size of the ark (Genesis 6:15-16).d. The universal terms used in the story (Genesis 6:17-21; Genesis 7:19; Genesis 7:21-23). Context must determine whether universal terms are... read more

The Flood (continued)2. By sevens] RV ’seven and seven,’ or seven pairs. The clean animals might be used for food, and would also be required for sacrifice. Observe that in Genesis 6:19 this distinction between clean and unclean is not noticed, and that there also the animals are chosen in single pairs, ’two of every sort.’ Lists of ’clean’ and ’unclean’ animals are given in Leviticus 11.11. The second month] The year is here supposed to begin in autumn (cp. Exodus 34:22), so that the second... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Genesis 7:1-24

The Story of the Flood Genesis 7:8 It has been remarked that though the narrative [of the Flood] is vivid and forcible, it is entirely wanting in that sort of description which in a modern historian or poet would have occupied the largest space. 'We see nothing of the death-struggle; we hear not the cry of despair; we are not called upon to witness the frantic agony of husband and wife, and parent and child, as they fled in terror before the rising waters. Nor is a word said of the sadness of... read more
