1 και εμνησθη ο θεος του νωε και παντων των θηριων και παντων των κτηνων και παντων των πετεινων και παντων των ερπετων οσα ην μετ' αυτου εν τη κιβωτω και επηγαγεν ο θεος πνευμα επι την γην και εκοπασεν το υδωρ

2 και επεκαλυφθησαν αι πηγαι της αβυσσου και οι καταρρακται του ουρανου και συνεσχεθη ο υετος απο του ουρανου

3 και ενεδιδου το υδωρ πορευομενον απο της γης ενεδιδου και ηλαττονουτο το υδωρ μετα πεντηκοντα και εκατον ημερας

4 και εκαθισεν η κιβωτος εν μηνι τω εβδομω εβδομη και εικαδι του μηνος επι τα ορη τα αραρατ

5 το δε υδωρ πορευομενον ηλαττονουτο εως του δεκατου μηνος εν δε τω ενδεκατω μηνι τη πρωτη του μηνος ωφθησαν αι κεφαλαι των ορεων

6 και εγενετο μετα τεσσαρακοντα ημερας ηνεωξεν νωε την θυριδα της κιβωτου ην εποιησεν

7 και απεστειλεν τον κορακα του ιδειν ει κεκοπακεν το υδωρ και εξελθων ουχ υπεστρεψεν εως του ξηρανθηναι το υδωρ απο της γης

8 και απεστειλεν την περιστεραν οπισω αυτου ιδειν ει κεκοπακεν το υδωρ απο προσωπου της γης

9 και ουχ ευρουσα η περιστερα αναπαυσιν τοις ποσιν αυτης υπεστρεψεν προς αυτον εις την κιβωτον οτι υδωρ ην επι παντι προσωπω πασης της γης και εκτεινας την χειρα αυτου ελαβεν αυτην και εισηγαγεν αυτην προς εαυτον εις την κιβωτον

10 και επισχων ετι ημερας επτα ετερας παλιν εξαπεστειλεν την περιστεραν εκ της κιβωτου

11 και ανεστρεψεν προς αυτον η περιστερα το προς εσπεραν και ειχεν φυλλον ελαιας καρφος εν τω στοματι αυτης και εγνω νωε οτι κεκοπακεν το υδωρ απο της γης

12 και επισχων ετι ημερας επτα ετερας παλιν εξαπεστειλεν την περιστεραν και ου προσεθετο του επιστρεψαι προς αυτον ετι

13 και εγενετο εν τω ενι και εξακοσιοστω ετει εν τη ζωη του νωε του πρωτου μηνος μια του μηνος εξελιπεν το υδωρ απο της γης και απεκαλυψεν νωε την στεγην της κιβωτου ην εποιησεν και ειδεν οτι εξελιπεν το υδωρ απο προσωπου της γης

14 εν δε τω μηνι τω δευτερω εβδομη και εικαδι του μηνος εξηρανθη η γη

15 και ειπεν κυριος ο θεος τω νωε λεγων

16 εξελθε εκ της κιβωτου συ και η γυνη σου και οι υιοι σου και αι γυναικες των υιων σου μετα σου

17 και παντα τα θηρια οσα εστιν μετα σου και πασα σαρξ απο πετεινων εως κτηνων και παν ερπετον κινουμενον επι της γης εξαγαγε μετα σεαυτου και αυξανεσθε και πληθυνεσθε επι της γης

18 και εξηλθεν νωε και η γυνη αυτου και οι υιοι αυτου και αι γυναικες των υιων αυτου μετ' αυτου

19 και παντα τα θηρια και παντα τα κτηνη και παν πετεινον και παν ερπετον κινουμενον επι της γης κατα γενος αυτων εξηλθοσαν εκ της κιβωτου

20 και ωκοδομησεν νωε θυσιαστηριον τω θεω και ελαβεν απο παντων των κτηνων των καθαρων και απο παντων των πετεινων των καθαρων και ανηνεγκεν ολοκαρπωσεις επι το θυσιαστηριον

21 και ωσφρανθη κυριος ο θεος οσμην ευωδιας και ειπεν κυριος ο θεος διανοηθεις ου προσθησω ετι του καταρασασθαι την γην δια τα εργα των ανθρωπων οτι εγκειται η διανοια του ανθρωπου επιμελως επι τα πονηρα εκ νεοτητος ου προσθησω ουν ετι παταξαι πασαν σαρκα ζωσαν καθως εποιησα

22 πασας τας ημερας της γης σπερμα και θερισμος ψυχος και καυμα θερος και εαρ ημεραν και νυκτα ου καταπαυσουσιν

871. 'He sent out a dove from himself to see' means a state of receiving the truths and good of faith. This becomes clear from the train of thought and also from what follows, where the subject is the three states following temptations in the regeneration of this man, states meant by his sending out the dove three times. Taken almost literally these words imply that he made investigations, for it is said that he sent out the dove from himself 'to see', that is to say, as the phrase following shows, to see 'whether the waters had abated', which was seeing whether the falsities were still so great that goods and truths of faith could not be received. With the Lord however, because He knows every single thing, no such investigation is necessary. Consequently these words in the internal sense do not mean an investigation but a state, here a first state when falsities were still a hindrance. Such falsities are meant by the words 'whether the waters had abated'.

Genesis 8

Lernen

   

1 God remembered Noah, all the animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth. The waters subsided.

2 The deep's fountains and the sky's windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.

3 The waters receded from the earth continually. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters decreased.

4 The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat's mountains.

5 The waters receded continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.

6 It happened at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,

7 and he sent forth a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.

8 He sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground,

9 but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him into the ship; for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.

10 He stayed yet another seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ship.

11 The dove came back to him at evening, and, behold, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from the earth.

12 He stayed yet another seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she didn't return to him any more.

13 It happened in the six hundred first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ship, and looked. He saw that the surface of the ground was dried.

14 In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.

15 God spoke to Noah, saying,

16 "Go out of the ship, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons' wives with you.

17 Bring forth with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, including birds, livestock, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth."

18 Noah went forth, with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives with him.

19 Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.

20 Noah built an altar to Yahweh, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

21 Yahweh smelled the pleasant aroma. Yahweh said in his heart, "I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake, because the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I ever again strike everything living, as I have done.

22 While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."
