Genesis
Chapter 8
{Note: ^~ means the verse was translated by RBT but in 'meaning only' not exegeted word for word. Only ~~ means RBT translated the verse word for word.}
1^~{And
when the waters swelled on the earth one hundred and fifty days . .
.} the Elohiym/Godhead remembered Noah,
and
every living creature {chay}
and
all the cattle that were with him in the ark,
and
the Elohiym/Godhead caused a wind {ruwach}
to
blow across the earth,
and
the waters subsided.
{Note: Chapter 7 Verse 24 is continued in Chapter 8 Verse 1 so the complete sentence is presented here. In Chapter 7, we saw the 'breath of life' was 'ruwach chay'. Here we have both Hebrew words again where this time ruwach means wind. }
2^~The
fountains of the deep
and
the floodgates of the sky were stopped up,
and
the rain from the sky was held back.
3^~The
waters then receded steadily from the earth.
At
the end of one hundred and fifty days the waters diminished.
4^~So
that in the seventh month,
on
the seventeenth day of the month,
the
ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat
{a range on edge of Armenia - highest peak roughly 16,000 feet}.
5^~The
waters went on diminishing until the tenth month,
on
the first day of the month,
the
tops of the mountains became visible.
6^~At
the end of forty days,
Noah
opened the window of the ark
that
he had made {'asah}.
7^~And
he sent out the raven.
It
went to and fro until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
{Note: A raven is an unclean bird and it never returned. First warning to Noah the bodies of the dead are still floating on which the raven could feast. A picture of the ruler of the earth - Satan - feeding on the spiritually dead.}
8^~Then
he sent out the dove
to
see if the waters had decreased from the surface of the ground.
9^~
But the dove could not find a resting place for its foot,
and
returned to him to the ark,
for
there was water over all the earth.
So
putting out his hand, he took it into the ark with him.
{Note: The dove will not eat or even light on the dead so it returned to the ark not having found dry land. The dove is a picture of the Old Testament ministry of God the Holy Spirit - looking for people 'dry and clean'.}
10^~He waited another seven days, and again sent out the dove from the ark.
11^~The
dove came back to him toward evening
and
there in its bill was a plucked-off olive leaf!
Then
Noah knew that the waters had decreased on the earth.
{Note: This is a picture of the production of the dove/God the Holy Spirit. He produces in us (divine good) what we are unable to produce ourselves (we produce human works/'menstrual rags).}
12^~He
waited still another seven days and sent the dove forth;
and
it did not return to him any more.
{Note: The ministry of God the Holy Spirit in the Millinium when GHS will be poured out on all flesh - see Joel 2:28-32.}
{Verses
13-22: Removal of Signs of God's Judgment}
13^~In
the six hundredth and first year,
in
the first month, the first day of the month,
the
waters began to dry from the earth;
and
when Noah removed the covering of the ark,
he
saw that the surface of the ground was drying.
14^~And
in the second month,
on
the twenty-seventh day of the month,
the
earth was dry.
15-16^~And
the Elohiym/Godhead spoke to Noah, saying, 16^~
"Come
out of the ark,
together
with your wife, your sons, and your sons' wives."
17^~"Bring
out with you every living thing of all flesh
that
is with you:
birds,
animals, and everything that creeps on earth.
And
let them swarm on the earth
and
be fertile and increase on earth."
18-19^~So
Noah came out,
together
with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives 19^~
every
animal, every creeping thing, and every bird,
and
everything that stirs on earth came out of the ark by families.
20^~Then
Noah built {banah} an altar unto Jehovah/God;
and
taking of every clean animals and of every clean bird,
he
offered burnt offerings on the altar.
{Note: The altar speaks of the cross. Fallen man cannot have fellowship with God apart from the cross. Noah's first thought was not shelter for himself, but for fellowship with God! The right perspective! Right scale of values.}
21^~
And Jehovah/God smelled the pleasing odor,
and
Jehovah/God said to Himself,
"Never
again will I doom the earth because of man,
since
the devisings of man's mind are evil from his youth.
Nor
will I ever again destroy every living being,
as
I have done {'asah}."
22^~"So
as long as the earth endures,
Seedtime
and harvest,
Cold
and heat,
Summer
and winter,
Day
and night,
Shall
not cease."
