890. 'And he sent out the dove' means a state of receiving the goods and truths of faith. This similarly is clear from what has been stated at verse 10, for the words are the same and the sense too, the sole difference being that in that verse the subject is the second state, in this verse the third. The third state is described by 'the dove's not coming back', also by 'Noah's removing the covering from the ark', and lastly by 'his going out of the ark because the face ¹ of the ground had dried up and the earth had dried out'.
