CHAPTER 8
Genesis 8:1-22

Gen 8:1 And Elohim remembered את-Noah, and את-all of the living things, and את-all of the animals which were with him in the ark: and Elohim had go over a wind upon the Earth, and the waters, they became pacified; 2 And the eye-fountains of the deep and the windows of the Heavens were shut up (had stopped, surrendered), and the geshem-rain (gushing rain) from the Heavens was restrained (withheld); 3 and the waters, they had returned from upon the Earth, that were going (retreating, walking?) and the returning (retreating, decreasing?): and from the end of fifty and a hundred days, the waters, they were decreasing (diminishing, abating). 4 And the ark, she rested in the seventh renewed month, on the seven ten (seventeen) day of the renewed month, upon the mountains of Ararat. 5 And the waters, they were going and decreasing (diminishing, abating) until (unto) the tenth renewed month: in the tenth, on the one of the renewed month, the heads of the mountains, they appeared (were seen).

6 And was from the end of forty days that Noah opened את-the window of the ark which was done (made): 7 And he sent out את-the raven, and going out, was going out and returning, until the waters were dried up (ashamed?) from upon the Earth. 8 And sent out את-the dove from with him to see the easing of him the waters from upon the face of the Ground; 9 and the dove did not find rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned to him to the ark, for the waters were upon the face of all of the Earth: and sent out his hand, and took her, and brought her to him to the ark. 10 And waited still another seven days; and addingly (again) sent out את-the dove from the ark; 11 and the dove, she came to him by the time of the mixing period (evening); and behold, in her mouth was an olive branch (leaf) plucked off: and Noah knew that the waters were easing up from upon the Earth. 12 And waited still another seven days; and sent out את-the dove; and did not adding (again) return to him any more.

13 And was in the one and six hundredth year, in the first on the one of the renewed month, the waters, they were dried up (desolate) from upon the Earth: and Noah removed את-the consealment (covering) of the ark, and looked, and behold, the face of the Ground was dried up (desolate).

14 And in the second renewed month, on the seven and twenty day of the renewed month, the Earth was abased (dry), 15 and Elohim spoke to Noah, to say, 16 Go out from the ark, you, and your woman, and your sons, and the wives of your sons with you. 17 All of the living things which is with you of all flesh among flyers (fowl), and among animals, and among all creepers that creep upon the Earth, bring out with you; and they will swarm (breed) on the Earth, and they shall fructify and they shall multiply upon the Earth. 18 And Noah went out, and his sons, and his woman, and the wives of his sons with him: 19 all of the beasts (living things), and all of the creepers, and all of the flyers (fowl), of all creeping upon the Earth, they came out from the ark by their families.

20 And Noah built an altar to יהוה; and took from all of the clean animals, and from all of the clean flyers (fowl), and elevated Elevation Offerings (Ascension Offerings, Burnt Offerings) on the altar. 21 And יהוה smelled את-a pleasant scent; and יהוה said in His Heart, I will not add (again) to curse את-the Ground any more on the sake of the Adam (Adamkind); for the imagination (conception, form) of the heart of the Adam (Adamkind) is evil from his youth; and I will not add (again) to smite את-every living thing any more as the which I have done. 22 Unto all of the days of the Earth of seedtime and of harvest, and cold and the heat, and summer (harvest) and the winter (ripeness), and day and the night, shall not repose (desist, rest, relax).


(NOTE: Not all verses will have comments)


Verse one

1 And Elohim remembered את-Noah, and את-all of the living things, and את-all of the animals which were with him in the ark: and Elohim had go over a wind upon the Earth, and the waters, they became pacified;

 Elohim called for a wind to go forth over all the earth to subside the waters. This was a similar matter when Moses and the Israelites were at the Sea of Reeds, Known today as the Gulf of Aquaba (the Gulf of Jacob) in the Torah portion of B'shalakh , in the book of Exodus

Exodus 14:21 And Moses stretched out (stretched forth) את-his hand over (upon) the sea; and יהוה made go (depart, walked away) את-the sea on a fierce (harsh, strong) east wind all of the night, and made את-the sea to dry, and the waters, they broke open (ripped open, zipped open, divided).



Verses two through four

2 And the eye-fountains of the deep and the windows of the Heavens were shut up (had stopped, surrendered), and the geshem-rain (gushing rain) from the Heavens was restrained (withheld); 3 and the waters, they had returned from upon the Earth, that were going (retreating, walking?) and the returning (retreating, decreasing?): and from the end of fifty and a hundred days, the waters, they were decreasing (diminishing, abating). 4 And the ark, she rested in the seventh renewed month, on the seven ten (seventeen) day of the renewed month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

The ark rested during the Feast of Sukkoth, which is from the fifteenth day to the twenty first day of the seventh month of Tishri/Ethanim. This also connects to the verse in the previous chapter of this week's Torah portion

Genesis 7:24 And the waters were valiant (prevailing) upon the Earth fifty and a hundred days.

Subtracting the seventeenth day of the seventh by the seventeenth day of the second month comes to 150 days. That means, the forty days and nights of rain were within the 150 day period, until the water was shallow enough for the ark to land. That means there were 110 days of the 150 without the rain.

Looking at the word SHUT UP (STOPPED, SURRENDERED)

The Hebrew word for shut up (stopped, surrendered) is "sah-khahr"- Samek, Kaph, Resh (סכר). It is from Strong's Concordance number 5534, and its definition

A primitive root; to shut up; by implication to surrender: - stop, give over. See also H5462; H7936.

from 5462 "sah-gahr" (סגר), and its definition

A primitive root; to shut up; figuratively to surrender: - close up, deliver (up), give over (up), inclose, X pure, repair, shut (in, self, out, up, up together), stop, X straitly.

Notice the similarities between the two Hebrew words. One could say that they are "cousin words".



Verse five

5 And the waters, they were going and decreasing (diminishing, abating) until (unto) the tenth renewed month: in the tenth, on the one of the renewed month, the heads of the mountains, they appeared (were seen).

This was eighty four days later the ark rested on the mountains of Ararat.

As I noted in last week's Torah portion of B'reyshith, in the book of Genesis, the translators translated the Hebrew word "echad" as first, but it really should be translated "one". This is also applied in this passage as "one", because the Hebrew word "echad" in this passage is a "uniter", and "unites" the rest of the days of any Biblical month as well as "uniting" the Biblical month itself.

Verse six

6 And was from the end of forty days that Noah opened את-the window of the ark which was done (made):

After thorough research, this was in the same date that the rains stopped in chapter eight. The date of this account was also the twenty eighth day of the third month of Sivan.

Compare the window of this verse to the other scripture account in chapter six of this week's Torah portion

Genesis 6:16 You shall do (make) a window (noon side window, pressed side window) for the ark, and by a cubit you shall finish her from by above; and you shall set the door of the ark on her side; of lowers (unders, [cellars]), twos, and a threes you shall do (make) of her.

Looking at the following words:

WINDOW [CHAPTER 6]

The Hebrew word for window is "tsoh-hahr"- Tsade, Heh, Resh (צהר). It is from Strong's Concordance number 6672, and its definition

From H6671; a light (that is, window); dual double light, that is, noon: - midday, noon (-day, -tide), window.

from 6671 "tsah-hahr" (צהר), and its definition

A primitive root; to glisten; used only as denominative from H3323, to press out oil: - make oil.


WINDOW [CHAPTER 8]

The Hebrew word for window is "khal-lohn"- Khet, Lamed, Vav, Nun Sophit (חלון). It is from Strong's Concordance number 2474, and its definition

A window (as perforated): - window.

I'm still unclear about the window that is placed on the ark noted in the chapter six account, but it acts like that it could be based on the definition as a window on the top of the ark, but I'm not certain.



Verses seven through twelve

7 And he sent out את-the raven, and going out, was going out and returning, until the waters were dried up (ashamed?) from upon the Earth. 8 And sent out את-the dove from with him to see the easing of him the waters from upon the face of the Ground; 9 and the dove did not find rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned to him to the ark, for the waters were upon the face of all of the Earth: and sent out his hand, and took her, and brought her to him to the ark. 10 And waited still another seven days; and addingly (again) sent out את-the dove from the ark; 11 and the dove, she came to him by the time of the mixing period (evening); and behold, in her mouth was an olive branch (leaf) plucked off: and Noah knew that the waters were easing up from upon the Earth. 12 And waited still another seven days; and sent out את-the dove; and did not adding (again) return to him any more.

Right now, I am still configuring if the dove was sent out at the same time as the raven or was sent out at a later date. I will reveal the time line of the raven shortly.


Peter Thalhofer of El Shaddai Ministries, noted in this week's Torah portion, regarding the word "waited" in verses ten and twelve.

Looking at the word WAITED

 The Hebrew word for waited is "khool"- Khet, Vav, Lamed (חול). It is from Strong's Concordance number 2342, and its definition

A primitive root; properly to twist or whirl (in a circular or spiral manner), that is, (specifically) to dance, to writhe in pain (especially of parturition) or fear; figuratively to wait, to pervert: - bear, (make to) bring forth, (make to) calve, dance, drive away, fall grievously (with pain), fear, form, great, grieve, (be) grievous, hope, look, make, be in pain, be much (sore) pained, rest, shake, shapen, (be) sorrow (-ful), stay, tarry, travail (with pain), tremble, trust, wait carefully (patiently), be wounded.

Peter noted that in other words, Noah was waiting in "sorrow" and "grief" and "travail", because he did not know if he and all in the ark will be able to walk out of the ark.

Peter Thalhofer compared the other word "waiting" in verse twelve to the same in verse ten.

Looking at the word WAITING

 It is the Hebrew word for waiting is "yah-khahl"- Yod, Khet, Lamed (יחל). It is from Strong's Concordance number 3176, and its definition

A primitive root; to wait; by implication to be patient, hope: - (cause to, have, make to) hope, be pained, stay, tarry, trust, wait.

Peter noted that after the dove came back with an olive branch in verse eleven, Noah was waiting with "hope". Thank you יהוה for Peter.

In verse twelve, there is a possible theory that this dove is the same one that came down on Yeshua when He was baptized at the Jordan River. Looking at the account in the Gospel of Matthew

Matthew 3:13 Then cometh Yeshua from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. 14 But John forbad Him, saying, I have need to be baptized of Thee, and comest Thou to me? 15 And Yeshua answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then He suffered him. 16 And Yeshua, when He was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto Him, and he saw the Spirit of Elohim descending like a dove, and lighting upon Him: 17 And lo a voice from the heavens, saying, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.



Verse thirteen

13 And was in the one and six hundredth year, in the first on the one of the renewed month, the waters, they were dried up (desolate) from upon the Earth:... 
 
The only reason it would say this, because Noah's birthday was on the first day, in the first month. יהוה was in a way saying to Noah "Happy Birthday, Noah. My birthday gift to you is the waters of the flood has ceased from the earth".

It says "in the beginning", because יהוה was revealing to us that the new year started in the first month before hwhy officially called it the beginning of months to Moses noted in the Torah portion of Bo, in the book of Exodus

Exodus 12:1 And יהוה spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, to say, 2 This renewed month shall be to you the head of renewed months: he shall be to you the first for the renewed months of the year.

This was a good way to start the new Biblical year with the waters to be gone.


Looking back at verse seven, it says

Genesis 8:7 And he sent out את-the raven, and going out, was going out and returning, until the waters were dried up (ashamed?) from upon the Earth.

This shows us that the raven was going out and in from the twenty seventh day of Sivan until the waters were dried up on the first day in the first month of the 601'st year of Noah's life, on his birthday.

There is no clarification in the scriptures to when the dove was sent out. One theory noted by Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries is that it could have been sent out at the same time as the raven. It this theory is true, the time line would have put the second time the dove was sent out of Tammuz 4, and the third time on Tammuz 11.



Verses fourteen through nineteen

14 And in the second renewed month, on the seven and twenty day of the renewed month, the Earth was abased (dry), 15 and Elohim spoke to Noah, to say, 16 Go out from the ark, you, and your woman, and your sons, and the wives of your sons with you. 17 All of the living things which is with you of all flesh among flyers (fowl), and among animals, and among all creepers that creep upon the Earth, bring out with you; and they will swarm (breed) on the Earth, and they shall fructify and they shall multiply upon the Earth. 18 And Noah went out, and his sons, and his woman, and the wives of his sons with him: 19 all of the beasts (living things), and all of the creepers, and all of the flyers (fowl), of all creeping upon the Earth, they came out from the ark by their families.

This tells us that though the waters dried up from the earth, the land was still soaked. It took another fifty seven days before the land was dried up. This shows us that account of Noah's ark lasted for one year and ten days.

Notice that the yous in verses sixteen and seventeen are boldened in pink. This means that hwhy was speaking to Noah's soul.


THIS IS A REVELATION!!!

Giving praise to יהוה, look at the process of the earth from the sky view
