- The Ark Was Entered2. טהור ṭâhôr “clean, fit for food or sacrifice.”4. יקוּם yeqûm “standing thing; what grows up, whether animal or plant.” Compare קמה qāmâh “stalk, or standing corn.”Genesis 7:1-4Here is found the command to enter the ark. The general direction in the preceding chapter was given many years ago, before the ark was commenced. Now, when it is completed, a more specific command is issued. “For thee have I seen righteous before me.” Noah has accepted the mercy of God, is... read more

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 7:7-9

"And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that creepeth upon the ground, there went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noah."We find full agreement with Unger that the animals "were taken in by God... by implanted instinct."[7] Noah did not have to round up the animals and corral them and... 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

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Genesis 7:9

9. There went in two and two—Doubtless they were led by a divine impulse. The number would not be so large as at first sight one is apt to imagine. It has been calculated that there are not more than three hundred distinct species of beasts and birds, the immense varieties in regard to form, size, and color being traceable to the influence of climate and other circumstances. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Genesis 7:1-10

God graciously invited Noah to enter the ark with his family (Genesis 7:1). This is the first occurrence of the offer "come" in the Bible. This invitation continues throughout Scripture, the last offer being in Revelation 22:17. God extends the invitation to people, He urges them to take advantage of the perfect provision He has made for their preservation, and He offers it in a time of impending judgment and gloom."It is not that Noah’s works of righteousness gains [sic] him salvation, for... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 7:1-24

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
