Génesis 8:2 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 8:2

The fountains also of the deep, and the windows of heaven,
were stopped
The passages which let out the subterraneous waters in great quantity upon the earth, and the clouds of heaven, which poured down water upon it like spouts, were stopped from sending forth any more, as they had from the first of the flood unto one hundred and fifty days from thence: Jarchi observes, that it is not said that "all" the fountains of the deep, as when they were broken up, ( Genesis 7:11 ) because some of them were left open for the use and benefit of the world; besides, some must be left for the return of the waters: and the rain from heaven was restrained:
which seems to confirm what has been before observed, that after the rain of forty days and nights it ceased not to rain, more or less, though not so vehemently, until the end of an hundred and fifty days, and then it entirely ceased.

Génesis 8:2 In-Context

1 Dios se acordó entonces de Noé y de todos los animales salvajes y domésticos que estaban con él en el arca. Hizo que soplara un fuerte viento sobre la tierra, y las aguas comenzaron a bajar.

2 Se cerraron las fuentes del mar profundo y las compuertas del cielo, y dejó de llover.

3 Poco a poco las aguas se fueron retirando de la tierra. Al cabo de ciento cincuenta días las aguas habían disminuido.

4 El día diecisiete del mes séptimo el arca se detuvo sobre las montañas de Ararat,

5 y las aguas siguieron bajando hasta que el primer día del mes décimo pudieron verse las cimas de las montañas.
