Gênesis 7:17 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 7:17

And the flood was forty days upon the earth
This is said with respect to what follows, and the meaning is, that when and after the flood had been upon the earth so long, then the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above
the earth;
after this they were so many and so strong that they lifted up the ark from the place where it stood, and bore it up, that it touched not the earth; and Aben Ezra from hence infers, that the ark did not remove from its place after the flood began, until forty days.

Gênesis 7:17 In-Context

15 Casais de todas as criaturas que tinham fôlego de vida vieram a Noé e entraram na arca.

16 Os animais que entraram foram um macho e uma fêmea de cada ser vivo, conforme Deus ordenara a Noé. Então o SENHOR fechou a porta.

17 Quarenta dias durou o Dilúvio, e as águas aumentaram e elevaram a arca acima da terra.

18 As águas prevaleceram, aumentando muito sobre a terra, e a arca flutuava na superfície das águas.

19 As águas dominavam cada vez mais a terra, e foram cobertas todas as altas montanhas debaixo do céu.
