創世記 8:1-2 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 8:1-3

Here is, I. An act of God's grace: God remembered Noah and every living thing. This is an expression after the manner of men; for not any of his creatures (Luke 12:6), much less any of his people, are forgotten of God, Isa. 49:15, 16. But, 1. The whole race of mankind, except Noah and his family, was now extinguished, and driven into the land of forgetfulness, to be remembered no more; so that God's remembering Noah was the return of his mercy to mankind, of whom he would not make a full end.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 8:1

And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark ,.... Not that God had forgotten Noah, for he does not, and cannot forget his creatures, properly speaking; but this is said after the manner of men, and as it might have seemed to Noah, who having heard nothing of him for five months, and having been perhaps longer in the ark than he expected, might begin to think that he was forgotten of God; but God remembered him, and his covenant with him,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 8:2

The fountains also of the deep, and the windows of heaven, were stopped ,.... The passages which let out the subterraneous waters in great quantity upon the earth, and the clouds of heaven, which poured down water upon it like spouts, were stopped from sending forth any more, as they had from the first of the flood unto one hundred and fifty days from thence: Jarchi observes, that it is not said that "all" the fountains of the deep, as when they were broken up, Genesis 7:11 because some of... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 8:1

And God made a wind to pass over the earth - Such a wind as produced a strong and sudden evaporation. The effects of these winds, which are frequent in the east, are truly astonishing. A friend of mine, who had been bathing in the Tigris, not far from the ancient city of Ctesiphon, and within five days' journey of Bagdad, having on a pair of Turkish drawers, one of these hot winds, called by the natives samiel , passing rapidly across the river just as he had got out of the water, so... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 8:1

Verse 1 1.And God remembered Noah. Moses now descends more particularly to that other part of the subject, which shows, that Noah was not disappointed in his hope of the salvation divinely promised to him. The remembrance of which Moses speaks, ought to be referred not only to the external aspect of things, (so to speak,) but also to the inward feeling of the holy man. Indeed it is certain, that Gods from the time in which he had once received Noah into his protection, was never unmindful of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 8:1

And God . Elohim, i.e. God in his most universal relation to his creatures. The supposition of two different accounts or histories being intermingled in the narrative of the Flood (Bleek, Eichhorn, Hupfeld, Kalisch, Alford, Coleuso) is not required for a sufficient explanation of the varying use of the Divine names. Remembered. From a root signifying to prick, pierce, or print, e.g; upon the memory; hence to remember. "Not that there is oblivion or forgetfulness with God, but then... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 8:1

God's infinite care. In the experience of Christians the joy of first believing is often followed by a time of discouragement. Freshness of feeling seems to fade. The "law of sin" makes itself felt. Yet it is just the training by which firmer faith and fuller joy are to be reached. Deep must have been the thankfulness of those in the ark; safe in the midst of the flood. But their faith was tried. Five months, and still no abatement. Noah may well have had misgivings (cf. Matthew 11:3 ).... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 8:1-5

Grace and providence. The powers of material nature are obedient servants of God, and those who are the objects of his regard, remembered by him, are safely kept in the midst of the world's changes. "All things work together for their good." There is an inner circle of special providence in which the family of God, with those whose existence is bound up in it, is under the eye of the heavenly Father, and in the hollow of his hand. "And the ark rested" ( Genesis 8:4 ). We speak of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 8:2

The fountains also of the deep, and the windows of heaven were stopped. וַיִּסָּכְרוּ , from סָכַר = סָגַר , to surround, to enclose; literally, were shut up ; ε ̓ πεκαλυ ì φθησαν ( LXX .). Their opening was described in Genesis 7:11 . And the rain from heaven was restrained. וַיִּכָּלֵא , literally, was shut up , from כָּלָא , to close.
