Genesis 7
1. Noah, his family and the living creatures enter the ark.
6. The flood begins.
17. The increase of the flood for forty days.
21. All flesh is destroyed by it.
24. Its duration of 150 days.














They
This word refers to Noah and his family, who were obedient to God's command to enter the ark. In Hebrew, the word is "hem," which emphasizes the collective unity and obedience of Noah's family. Their faithfulness is a testament to their righteousness in a world filled with corruption, highlighting the importance of familial unity and obedience to God's will.

every kind of wild animal
The phrase "every kind" underscores the diversity of God's creation. The Hebrew word "min" is used here, indicating species or kinds. This reflects the comprehensive nature of God's plan to preserve life on earth. It serves as a reminder of the intricate and intentional design of creation, where every creature has a purpose and place within God's order.

livestock
This term refers to domesticated animals that were essential for human survival and prosperity. The Hebrew word "behemah" is used, which often denotes animals used for labor or food. The inclusion of livestock in the ark signifies God's provision and care for human needs, ensuring that life could continue after the flood.

crawling creature
The phrase "crawling creature" translates from the Hebrew "remes," which includes small animals and reptiles. This highlights God's attention to even the smallest aspects of creation. It serves as a reminder that in God's eyes, all life is valuable and worthy of preservation, reflecting His comprehensive care for the world.

bird
The Hebrew word "oph" is used here, encompassing all flying creatures. Birds are often seen as symbols of freedom and transcendence in the Bible. Their inclusion in the ark narrative signifies the breadth of God's salvation plan, extending to all corners of creation, and serves as a metaphor for the hope and renewal that follows obedience to God.

everything that moves upon the earth
This phrase captures the totality of God's creation. The Hebrew "kol-haromes" emphasizes the inclusivity of God's covenant with Noah. It is a powerful reminder of God's sovereignty over all life and His commitment to preserving it. This comprehensive inclusion underscores the theme of redemption and restoration that runs throughout the biblical narrative.

(14) Every beast.--Heb., every living thing (as in Genesis 8:1), but probably we are to supply "of the field," and thus it would mean the wild animals.

The cattle--Behemah. (See Note on Genesis 1:24.)

Creeping thing.--Not specially reptiles, but alt small animals (see ibid.). The last clause literally is, every fowl after its kind, every bird, every wing; whence some understand it as meaning three kinds of winged beings: birds generally, next singing-birds, and lastly, bats, insects, and other such creatures. It more probably means "birds of all sorts."
