Cross-References
Noah wanted to find out if the water had gone down, and he sent out a dove.
Deep water was still everywhere, and the dove could not find a place to land. So it flew back to the boat. Noah held out his hand and helped it back in.
It returned in the evening, holding in its beak a green leaf from an olive tree. Noah knew that the water was finally going down.
He waited seven more days before sending the dove out again, and this time it did not return.
"You, your wife, your sons, and your daughters-in-law may now leave the boat.
Let out the birds, animals, and reptiles, so they can mate and live all over the earth."
Noah built an altar where he could offer sacrifices to the Lord . Then he offered on the altar one of each kind of animal and bird that could be used for a sacrifice.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then said the Jews, will he kill himself?.... Which was not only a wicked, but a foolish consequence, drawn from his words: for it by no means followed, because he was going away, and whither they could not come, that therefore he must destroy himself; this seems to be what they would have been glad he would have done, and suggested the thought that he might do it, in which they imitated Satan, Matthew 4:6, under whose influence they now apparently were, and hoped that he would, which would at once extricate them out of their difficulties on his account:
because he sayeth, whither I go ye cannot come: this is no reason at all; for had Christ's meaning been, as they blasphemously intimate, they might have destroyed themselves too, and have gone after him.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Will he kill himself? - It is difficult to know whether this question was asked from ignorance or malice. Self-murder was esteemed then, as it is now, as one of the greatest crimes; and it is not improbable that they asked this question with mingled hatred and contempt. âHe is a deceiver; he has broken the law of Moses; he is mad, and it is probable he will go on and kill himself.â If this was their meaning, we see the wonderful patience of Jesus in enduring the contradiction of sinners; and as he bore contempt without rendering railing for railing, so should we.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 22. Will he kill himself? — They now understood that he spoke concerning his death; but before, John 7:35, they thought he spoke of going to some of the Grecian provinces, to preach to the dispersed Jews.
