Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Genesis 7:1-10

CRITICAL NOTES.—Genesis 7:1. Righteous.] The radical notion of this important word in Hebrew is, by Gesenius and Davies, affirmed to be that of “straightness,” the quality of going evenly and directly to the end aimed at; but, by Fürst, is taken to be “firmness, hardness, hence strength, victoriousness.” Either conception is interesting, and well fitted to give food for reflection.

Sermon Bible Commentary - Genesis 7:1-24

Gen. 6-7 A long period elapsed between the commencement of the building of the ark and the actual flood. During that period we notice: (1) the strength of Noah's faith. God has told him of a deluge of which there is no appearance; he has commanded him to build a strange vessel for no apparent purpose; he has told him that one hundred and twenty years of toil must elapse before the vessel can be of any use to him. And yet, in the face of all these difficulties, Noah forms and keeps his... read more

two of every sort Cf. Genesis 7:2. In addition to two animals, etc., commanded (Genesis 6:19) to be preserved for future increase ("they shall be male and female"), the further command was given more than 100 years later to take of clean beasts, i.e. beasts acceptable for sacrifice, seven each. Exodus gives ten such beasts, or but seventy in all. Modern ships carry hundreds of live beasts, with their food, besides scores of human beings. read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 7:1-24

Genesis 7:2 ; Genesis 7:8 . Clean beasts by sevens. Male and female, reserving one for sacrifice. God’s special care is over man and beast, and over the preservation of religion. Genesis 7:11. The same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up. The Lord by a cause known to himself, increased the powers of gravitation, by which the seas rushed on the land in tides which augmented till the mountains were washed, and till the latent rocks presented their shaggy and contour... read more

Multitudes are animated by a desire to cultivate a good life because their... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 7:7

Gen 7:7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. Ver. 7. And Noah went in, and his sons, &c. ] Not till he was compelled by the coming in of the flood, say the Jews: of no good will, but because there was no other remedy. Thus they belie the good old preacher. Let no man think much to be misjudged.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 7:8

Gen 7:8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that [are] not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth, Ver. 8. And of those that are not clean. ] So a Doeg may set his foot as far within the sanctuary as a David: A "generation of vipers" may come to John’s baptism, Mat 3:7 as well as better men. But as these beasts came unclean to the ark, and went thence as unclean; so do most men to the holy ordinances; which yet are the heavenly exchange betwixt God and his elect:... read more
