839. Verse 1. And God remembered Noah, and every wild animal, and every beast that was with him in the ark; and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged. “And God remembered” signifies the end of temptation and beginning of renovation; by “Noah” is signified, as before, the man of the Ancient Church; by “every wild animal and every beast that was with him in the ark” are signified all things that he had; and by “God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged” is signified the disposal of all things into their order.
