John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 7:14

They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind ,.... They, Noah and his family, went into the ark; as did all sorts of beasts and cattle, reckoned one hundred and thirty sorts, by some one hundred and fifty, including serpents: and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind ; supposed to be scarce thirty sorts; not one sort of creature was left out, though ever so small, and despicable: every fowl after his kind ; Bishop Wilkins has... read more

And they went in unto Noah into the ark ,.... Noah went in first, and the creatures of themselves came to him, or were conducted by the ministry of angels; and they were delivered into his hands, and he placed them in the ark as was most convenient for them: it is very likely he went in and out as occasion required, for the better management and disposition of things; for he seems to be the last of all that went in, see Genesis 7:16 , two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 7:16

And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh ,.... These pairs were not two males or two females, but one male and one female; so they were coupled for the propagation of their species, which was the end of their entering into the ark, and being preserved: as God had commanded him : Noah, who took care, as they entered, that there were so many of a sort as was enjoined, and these were male and female: and the Lord shut him in ; or shut the door after him F12 בעדו ... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 7:11

In the six hundredth year, etc. - This must have been in the beginning of the six hundredth year of his life; for he was a year in the ark, Genesis 8:13 ; and lived three hundred and fifty years after the flood, and died nine hundred and fifty years old, Genesis 9:29 ; so it is evident that, when the flood commenced, he had just entered on his six hundredth year. Second month - The first month was Tisri, which answers to the latter half of September, and first half of October; and... read more

The rain was upon the earth - Dr. Lightfoot supposes that the rain began on the 18th day of the second month, or Marcheshvan, and that it ceased on the 28th of the third month, Cisleu. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 7:15

And they went in, etc. - It was physically impossible for Noah to have collected such a vast number of tame and ferocious animals, nor could they have been retained in their wards by mere natural means. How then were they brought from various distances to the ark and preserved there? Only by the power of God. He who first miraculously brought them to Adam that he might give them their names, now brings them to Noah that he may preserve their lives. And now we may reasonably suppose that... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 7:16

The Lord shut him in - This seems to imply that God took him under his especial protection, and as he shut Him in, so he shut the Others out. God had waited one hundred and twenty years upon that generation; they did not repent; they filled up the measure of their iniquities, and then wrath came upon them to the uttermost. read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 7:8

Verse 8 8.Of clean beasts. Moses now explains, — what had before been doubtful, — in which manner the animals were gathered together into the ark, and says that they came of their own accord. If this should seem to any one absurd, let him recall to mind what was said before, that in the beginning every kind of animals presented themselves to Adam, that he might give them names. And, truly, we dread the sight of wild beasts from no other cause than this, that seeing we have shaken off the yoke... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 7:11

Verse 11 11.The same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up. Moses recalls the period of the first creation to our memory; for the earth was originally covered with water; and by the singular kindness of God, they were made to recede, that some space should be left clear for living creatures. And this, philosophers are compelled to acknowledge, that it is contrary to the course of nature for the waters to subside, so that some portion of the earth might rise above them. And... read more

Verse 12 12.And the rain was upon the earth. Although the Lord burst open the floodgates of the waters, yet he does not allow them to break forth in a moment, so as immediately to overwhelm the earth, but causes the rain to continue forty days; partly, that Noah, by long meditation, might more deeply fix in his memory what he had previously learned, by instruction, through the word; partly, that the wicked, even before their death, might feel that those warnings which they had held in derision,... read more
