창세기 7:7-16 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 7:5-10

Here is Noah's ready obedience to the commands that God gave him. Observe, 1. He went into the ark, upon notice that the flood would come after seven days, though probably as yet there appeared no visible sign of its approach, no cloud arising that threatened it, nothing done towards it, but all continued serene and clear; for, as he prepared the ark by faith in the warning given that the flood would come, so he went into it by faith in this warning that it would come quickly, though he did... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 7:11-12

Here is, I. The date of this great event; this is carefully recorded, for the greater certainty of the story. 1. It was in the 600th year of Noah's life, which, by computation, appears to be 1656 years from the creation. The years of the old world are reckoned, not by the reigns of the giants, but the lives of the patriarchs; saints are of more account with God than princes. The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance. Noah was now a very old man, even as men's years went then. Note,... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 7:13-16

Here is repeated what was related before of Noah's entrance into the ark, with his family and creatures that were marked for preservation. Now, I. It is thus repeated for the honour of Noah, whose faith and obedience herein shone so brightly, by which he obtained a good report, and who herein appeared so great a favourite of Heaven and so great a blessing to this earth. II. Notice is here taken of the beasts going in each after his kind, according to the phrase used in the history of the... read more

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

And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark ,.... Within the space of the seven days, between the command of God to go into it, and the coming of the flood; or rather on the seventh day, on which it began to rain; when he saw it was coming on, see Genesis 7:11 . because of the waters of the flood ; for fear of them, lest, before he entered into the ark with his family, he and they should be carried away with them; or "from the face of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 7:8

Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean ,.... Seven couple of the one, and a couple of the other: and of fowls , clean and unclean, also a like number: and of everything that creepeth upon the earth ; and upon that only, not in the water, for these had no need of the ark, they could live in the waters. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 7:9

There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark ,.... Of themselves, as Jarchi and Aben Ezra, being impressed with an instinct from God so to do; or by the ministry of angels, as observed See Gill on Genesis 6:20 there were two of a sort, and some think four: the male and the female ; and of some seven, or seven pairs, as before observed: as God commanded Noah ; which respects his own and his family's entrance and the creatures; both were commanded by God, and attended to by Noah,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 7:10

And it came to pass after seven days ,.... Were ended, or on the seventh day, after God had given the orders to Noah, to prepare for his going into the ark, with his family, and all the creatures: that the waters of the flood were upon the earth : that is, they began to be upon the earth; for it continued to rain from hence forty days and forty nights; and still the waters continued to increase, and it was an hundred and fifty days before they began to ebb. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 7:11

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life ,.... Not complete, but current, for otherwise Noah would have lived after the flood three hundred and fifty one years, whereas he lived but three hundred and fifty; Genesis 9:28 . in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month : as the Jews had two ways of beginning their year, one at the spring, and the other at autumn; the one on ecclesiastical accounts, which began at Nisan, and which answers to March and April; and then the second... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 7:12

And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights ,.... So long it was falling upon it, after the windows of heaven were opened. Aben Ezra would have it, that all things were in such confusion, during the flood, that there was no difference between day and night, since, it is said, "day and night shall not cease any more"; and that after the waters ceased, then Noah knew that forty days and nights had passed, for God had revealed this secret to him; but the text seems more to make... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 7:13

In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah ,.... That is, on the seventeenth day of the second month; See Gill on Genesis 7:11 the names of Noah and his three sons are expressed, but not the names of his wife, and of the wives of his sons; they are only described by their relation as follows: and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons, into the ark : but other writers pretend to give us their names; Berosus F3 De temporibus ante... read more
