Footnotes

  1. Genesis 8:5 Three months later, literally, “On the first day of the tenth month.”
  2. Genesis 8:7 a raven that flew back and forth. Apparently lighting from time to time upon carcasses of dead animals floating on the water. The dove that Noah next dispatched would not alight on such floating carrion and was thus a good indication of the water level.
