861. Verse 6 And it happened at the end of forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made. 'It happened at the end of forty days means the duration of the former state, and the beginning of the one that followed. 'Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made' means a further state when the truths of faith appeared to him.

Joshua 10:13

13 The sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Isn't this written in the book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the midst of the sky, and didn't hurry to go down about a whole day.
