Génesis 8:1-12

Listen to Génesis 8:1-12
1 La inundaci贸n se retira
Entonces Dios se acord贸 de No茅 y de todos los animales salvajes y dom茅sticos que estaban con 茅l en la barca. Envi贸 un viento que soplara sobre la tierra, y las aguas del diluvio comenzaron a retirarse.
2 Las aguas subterr谩neas dejaron de fluir y se detuvieron las lluvias torrenciales que ca铆an del cielo.
3 Entonces las aguas del diluvio se retiraron de la tierra en forma gradual. Despu茅s de ciento cincuenta d铆as,
4 exactamente cinco meses despu茅s de que comenz贸 el diluvio,
la barca se detuvo sobre las monta帽as de Ararat.
5 Dos meses y medio m谩s tarde,
mientras las aguas segu铆an bajando, otras cumbres se hicieron visibles.
6 Pasados otros cuarenta d铆as, No茅 abri贸 la ventana que hab铆a hecho en la barca
7 y solt贸 un cuervo. El p谩jaro vol贸 ida y vuelta hasta que las aguas del diluvio terminaron de secarse sobre la tierra.
8 Tambi茅n solt贸 una paloma para ver si el agua se hab铆a retirado y si la paloma pod铆a encontrar suelo seco;
9 pero la paloma no pudo encontrar ning煤n lugar donde posarse, porque el agua a煤n cubr铆a la tierra. As铆 que volvi贸 a la barca, y No茅 extendi贸 su mano y meti贸 la paloma adentro.
10 Despu茅s de esperar otros siete d铆as, No茅 volvi贸 a soltar la paloma;
11 esta vez la paloma regres贸 a 茅l por la tarde con una hoja de olivo fresca en su pico. Entonces No茅 supo que las aguas del diluvio se hab铆an retirado casi por completo.
12 Esper贸 otros siete d铆as y volvi贸 a soltar la paloma. Esta vez el ave no regres贸.

Génesis 8:1-12 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 8

This chapter gives an account of the going off of the waters from the earth, and of the entire deliverance of Noah, and those with him in the ark, from the flood, when all the rest were destroyed: after an one hundred and fifty days a wind is sent over the earth, the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven are stopped, the waters go off gradually, and the ark rests on Mount Ararat, Ge 8:1-4 two months and thirteen days after that the tops of the mountains were seen, Ge 8:5 and forty days after the appearance of them, Noah sent forth first a raven, and then a dove, and that a second time, to know more of the abatement of the waters, Ge 8:6-12. When Noah had been in the ark ten months and thirteen days, he uncovered it, and the earth was dry, yet not so dry as to be fit for him to go out upon, until near two months after, Ge 8:13,14 when he had an order from God to go out of the ark, with all that were with him, which was accordingly obeyed, Ge 8:15-19 upon which he offered sacrifice by way of thankfulness for his great deliverance, which was accepted by the Lord; who promised him not to curse the earth any more, nor to drown it, but that it should remain, and as long as it did there would be the constant revolutions of the seasons of the year, and of day and night, Ge 8:20-22.
