Genesis 8:22

While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

Genesis 8:21

And the LORD smelled a sweet savour [soothing aroma]; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for [although] the imagination [intent or thought] of man's heart [is] evil from his youth;  neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.


Note that this passage points out the very problem with each of us:  The intent or thought of every man's heart is evil from his youth.  There is no one on earth, who can escape this.  We are ALL evil from our youth.  That is why there is nothing YOU can DO to change this.  Yes, we can and should attempt every day to live our lives holy and respectable; but without Jesus Christ as your Saviour, you are lost.  He redeemed (i.e., substitued) himself for all our sins.

Genesis 8:20

And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.


Note:  Now we see why there were 7 of every clean beast taken into the ark.  The extra's were meant for the sacrifice(s) Noah would perform. (See Genesis 7:2)

Genesis 8:19

Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, [and] whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.

Note:  "After their kinds" means that, there was not two of every sub-species; a horse could've been on the ark, and so a mule, a donkey, a zebra, etc, would've been "kinds" of horses.  Thus, a horse would represent all "kinds" of horses...

Genesis 8:18

And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:

Genesis 8:17

Bring forth with thee every living thing that [is] with thee, of all flesh, [both] of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.

Genesis 8:16

Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.

Genesis 8:15

And God spake unto Noah, saying,

Genesis 8:14

And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.


Note:  This would be 1657 years since Adam was created.

Genesis 8:13

And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first [month,] the first [day] of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.

Genesis 8:12

And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.

Genesis 8:11

And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth [was] an olive leaf pluckt[freshly plucked] off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.

Genesis 8:10

And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;

Genesis 8:9

But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters [were] on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.

Genesis 8:8

Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;

Genesis 8:7

And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.

Genesis 8:6

And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:

Genesis 8:5

And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth [month,] on the first [day] of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.

Genesis 8:4

And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

Genesis 8:3

And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters
were abated.

Genesis 8:2

The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;

Note:  "The fountains also of the deep" references water's that came from the bottoms of the ocean, possibly through some cracks in the ocean floor that were under extreme high pressure?

Genesis 8:1

And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle [animals] that [was] with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged [subsided];

Genesis 7:24

And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.

Genesis 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.

Genesis 7:22

All in whose nostrils [was] the breath of life [the spirit of life], of all that [was] in the dry [land,] died.

Note:  the waters rose until they were 15 cubits (around 22 feet) above the tops of mountains.

Genesis 7:19

And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that [were] under the whole heaven, were covered.

Genesis 7:18

And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face [surface] of the waters.

Genesis 7:17

And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare [lifted] up the ark, and it was lift up [rose up] above the earth.

Genesis 7:16

And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.

Genesis 7:15

And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein [is] the breath of life

Genesis 7:14

They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.


Note again that it is every beast "after his kind", not every single sub-species.  For instance, the horse would be representative of the Donkey, Mule, etc.

Genesis 7:13

In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;

Genesis 7:12

And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

Genesis 7:10

And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.

Genesis 7:9

There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.

Genesis 7:8

Of clean beasts, and of beasts that [are] not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,

And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.

Genesis 7:6

And Noah [was] six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.

Noah was born 1056 years after Adam; so the flood began 1656 years after Adam.

Genesis 7:5

And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.

Genesis 7:4

For yet [after 7 more days] seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy [blot out] from off the face of the earth.

note:  God told Noah to take 7 of clean beast's for provisions of sacrifice post-flood.

Genesis 7:1

And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather [it] to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.

Genesis 6:20

Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle [animals] after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every [sort] shall come unto thee, to keep [them] alive.

Note:  The word "kind" is used when talking about the different species.  It does indicate that there could be variations of each "kind", and only one of each was taken.  For instance, there are horses, mules, donkeys, zebra's, but one of the "kind" of horse was taken.

Genesis 6:19

And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every [sort] shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep [them] alive with thee; they shall be male and female.

Genesis 6:18

But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.

Genesis 6:17

And, behold, I, even I, do bring [am bringing] a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein [is] the breath of life, from under heaven; [and] every thing that [is] in the earth shall die.

Genesis 6:16

A window shalt thou make to [for] the ark, and in [to a cubit from above you shall finish it] a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; [with] lower, second, and third [stories] shalt thou make it.

Genesis 6:15

And this [is the fashion] which thou shalt make it [of:] The length of the ark [shall be] three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.

note:  A cubit is approximately the length of the tip of the fingers to the elbow, or 18 inches.

Genesis 6:14

Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms [compartments, or nests] shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

Genesis 6:12

And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.

Genesis 6:11

The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

Genesis 6:10

And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Genesis 6:9

These [are] the generations [This is the geneology] of Noah: Noah was a just man [and] perfect [blameless] in his generations, [and] Noah walked with God.

Genesis 6:8

But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

Genesis 6:7

And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it [I am sorry] repenteth me that I have made them.


note:   It is curious that the Lord God did not want to destroy the creatures of the sea.

Genesis 6:6

And it [the Lord was sorry] repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

Genesis 5:31

And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died.

Genesis 5:30

And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters:
