Gênesis 8:1-10:32 NVT

Geneva Study Bible - Genesis 8:1

8:1 And God {a} remembered Noah, and {b} every living thing, and all the cattle that [was] with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;(a) Not that God forgets his at any time, but when he sends comfort then he shows that he remembers them.(b) If God remembered every brute beast, that ought also to assure his children. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 8:1-22

A RENEWED EARTH The five months of floating on a shoreless sea would seem interminable to Noah and his family, and it can be well imagined that they would feel that God had forgotten them. "But God remembered Noah, and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark," -- the wild beasts as well as domesticated animals. But a flood covering even the mountains would require a long length of time to subside, even with the wind God sent to help in this. However, the sources from... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Genesis 8:1-14

DURATION AND EXTENT OF THE FLOOD When did the flood begin (Genesis 7:11 )? What shows an uprising of the oceans and seas, occasioned perhaps by a subsiding of the land? How long did the rain continue? What suggests a rising of the water even after the rain ceased (Genesis 7:17-19 )? How long did it continue to rise (Genesis 7:24 )? What circumstance mentioned in Genesis 2:5 may have given “a terrifying accompaniment” to the rain? When and where did the ark rest (Genesis 8:4 )? Ararat is... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Genesis 8:1

CONTENTS The last Chapter concluded with the melancholy relation of the world destroyed, and the church brought within very narrow limits. This opens with an account of the renewals of mercy, in restoring the former and enlarging the borders of the latter. The fountains of the great deep, which were broken up, are stopped; the windows of heaven, for the out-pouring of the rain, are closed; the whole earth recovers its verdure: and Noah and his family are brought forth from the ark, after... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Genesis 8:1

Remembered; not as if God had ever forgotten Noe, but he now shews his remembrance of him by the effects. (Menochius) --- A wind, literally a spirit, which St. Ambrose and Theodoret understood of the Holy Ghost, that, as he moved over the waters at first, (chap. i. 2.) to give them fecundity, and to exercise his power in establishing order, so he may shew the same care and providence for this new world, emerging, like the former, from the waters. (Haydock) --- Most interpreters, however,... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 8:1-3

1-3 The whole race of mankind, except Noah and his family, were now dead, so that God's remembering Noah, was the return of his mercy to mankind, of whom he would not make a full end. The demands of Divine justice had been answered by the ruin of sinners. God sent his wind to dry the earth, and seal up his waters. The same hand that brings the desolation, must bring the deliverance; to that hand, therefore, we must ever look. When afflictions have done the work for which they are sent, whether... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Genesis 8:1-5

The Flood Subsides v. 1. And God remembered Noah and every living thing and all the cattle that was with him in the ark; and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged. During those long days when the lowlands and finally even the uplands and the mountains sank from sight in the terrible and limitless waste of waters, Noah's faith may often have been tried sorely as to whether he and his family would survive the general destruction. But God did not forget His servant, and... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Genesis 8:1-22

Genesis ‘CLEAR SHINING AFTER RAIN’ Gen_8:1 - Gen_8:22 . The universal tradition of a deluge is most naturally accounted for by admitting that there was a ‘universal deluge.’ But ‘universal’ does not apply to the extent as embracing the whole earth, but as affecting the small area then inhabited-an area which was probably not greater than the valleys of the Euphrates and Tigris. The story in Genesis is the Hebrew version of the universal tradition, and its plain affinity to the cuneiform... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Genesis 8:1-22

Noah Leaves the Ark Genesis 8:1-22 Traditions of the Flood are found in every country, from the tablets of Babylon to the rude carvings of the Aztecs, proving man’s common origin. “God remembered Noah.” He could not forget, because He had entered into covenant with him and his. Though the floods have been abroad on your life for long years, God has not forgotten you. Sooner might a woman forget her babe! Noah’s window only looked upward. It had no outlook on the waters, therefore he sent... read more
