Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Genesis 7:11-24

CRITICAL NOTES.—Genesis 7:11. Great deep.] “The great abyss—the mighty roaring deep:” Heb. tehôm—same word as in Genesis 1:2; Proverbs 8:24, &c: Sept. and Vulg. “abyss.” Broken up.]—Or, “burst open.—Windows.] Prop. “the latticed, enclosed; hence gen. window, flood-gate;” but Sept. “waterfalls.”—Genesis 7:16. Shut him in.] Lit. “Then does Jehovah shut up round about him.” How touchingly beautiful! “Then”—a closing act, as when a mother closes up about her dear ones for the night:... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Genesis 7:1-24

Gen. 6-7 A long period elapsed between the commencement of the building of the ark and the actual flood. During that period we notice: (1) the strength of Noah's faith. God has told him of a deluge of which there is no appearance; he has commanded him to build a strange vessel for no apparent purpose; he has told him that one hundred and twenty years of toil must elapse before the vessel can be of any use to him. And yet, in the face of all these difficulties, Noah forms and keeps his... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 7:1-24

Chapter 7And so the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all of your house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. Now of the clean beast thou shalt take by sevens, male with his female ( Genesis 7:1-2 ):So seven pair of the clean beasts.and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. Of the fowls of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep the seed alive upon the face of all the earth. For in seven days, I will cause it to rain upon... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 7:1-24

Genesis 7:2 ; Genesis 7:8 . Clean beasts by sevens. Male and female, reserving one for sacrifice. God’s special care is over man and beast, and over the preservation of religion. Genesis 7:11. The same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up. The Lord by a cause known to himself, increased the powers of gravitation, by which the seas rushed on the land in tides which augmented till the mountains were washed, and till the latent rocks presented their shaggy and contour... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 7:20

Gen 7:20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. Ver. 20. Fifteen cubits upward. ] So, above any mountain. The Popish fable of Enoch, preserved alive in some high place of the earthly paradise, shall as soon be believed as the Jewish tale of Og (one of the old giants, say they), escaping death by riding astride upon the ark. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 7:21

Gen 7:21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: Ver. 21. And every man died. ] Now these mockers behold that ark with envy, that erst they beheld with scorn; they wish themselves in the darkest corner of it, that lately laughed at it, and perhaps did what they could to hinder the finishing of it. a Yea, some, likely, to save them from drowning, caught at and clung as fast... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 7:22

Gen 7:22 All in whose nostrils [was] the breath of life, of all that [was] in the dry [land], died. Ver. 22. All in whose nostrils was the breath of life died, of all that was in the dry land. ] This last clause exempts fishes: though the Jews would needs persuade us that these also died; for that the waters of the flood were boiling hot. But rain-water uses not to be hot, we know; and therefore we reject this conceit as a Jewish fable. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 7:23

Gen 7:23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained [alive], and they that [were] with him in the ark. Ver. 23. And every living substance was destroyed. ] That all ensuing ages, considering this standing monument of God’s wrath against sin (whence once it is become, as physicians say of some diseases, corruptio totius... read more
