Genesis 8:10 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 8:10

And he stayed yet other seven days
As he had stayed seven days between the sending out of the raven and the dove, so he stayed seven days more after he had sent out the dove, and it returned to him, waiting patiently for his deliverance, and the signs of it; though he could have been glad to have known its near approach, for which he made the experiments be did:

and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
very probably the selfsame dove he had sent out before.

Genesis 8:10 In-Context

8 Then he sent out a dove to see whether the water on the earth's surface had gone down,

9 but the dove found no resting place for her foot. She returned to him in the ark because water covered the surface of the whole earth. He reached out and brought her into the ark to himself.

10 So Noah waited seven more days and sent out the dove from the ark again.

11 When the dove came to him at evening, there was a plucked olive leaf in her beak. So Noah knew that the water on the earth's surface had gone down.

12 After he had waited another seven days, he sent out the dove, but she did not return to him again.
