Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark,.... Within the space of the seven days, between the command of God to go into it, and the coming of the flood; or rather on the seventh day, on which it began to rain; when he saw it was coming on, see Genesis 7:11
because of the waters of the flood; for fear of them, lest, before he entered into the ark with his family, he and they should be carried away with them; or "from the face of the waters" r, which now began to appear and spread; or rather, "before the waters" s, before they came to any height.
r ×פ×× ×× "a facie aquarum", Pagninus, Montanus. s "Ante aquas diluvii", Schmidt.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
- The Ark Was Entered
2. ×××ר tÌ£aÌhoÌr âclean, fit for food or sacrifice.â
4. ×ק×Ö¼× yequÌm âstanding thing; what grows up, whether animal or plant.â Compare ק×× qaÌmaÌh âstalk, or standing corn.â
Genesis 7:1-4
Here is found the command to enter the ark. The general direction in the preceding chapter was given many years ago, before the ark was commenced. Now, when it is completed, a more specific command is issued. âFor thee have I seen righteous before me.â Noah has accepted the mercy of God, is therefore set right in point of law, and walks aright in point of practice. The Lord recognizes this indication of an adopted and renewed son. âIn this ageâ he and his were the solitary family so characterized.
Genesis 7:2-3
Of all clean cattle. - Here the distinction of clean and unclean animals meets us without any previous notice. How it became known to Noah we are not informed. From the former direction it appears that the animals were to enter by pairs. Now it is further arranged that there are to be seven pairs of the clean cattle and fowl, and only one pair of the unclean.
Genesis 7:4
Seven days after the issue of the command the rain is to commence, and continue for forty days and nights without ceasing. âEvery standing thingâ means every plant and animal on the land.
Genesis 7:5-9
The execution of the command is recorded and fully particularized with the additional circumstance of the age of Noah. âThe son of six hundred years,â in his six hundredth year. âWent they unto Noah.â They seem to have come under the influence of a special instinct, so that Noah did not require to gather them. Seven days were employed in receiving them, and storing provisions for them.
