Gênesis 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.

Gênesis 8:2 In-Context

1 Então Deus lembrou-se de Noé e de todos os animais selvagens e rebanhos domésticos que estavam com ele na arca, e enviou um vento sobre a terra, e as águas começaram a baixar.

2 As fontes das profundezas e as comportas do céu se fecharam, e a chuva parou.

3 As águas foram baixando pouco a pouco sobre a terra. Ao fim de cento e cinquenta dias, as águas tinham diminuído,

4 e, no décimo sétimo dia do sétimo mês, a arca pousou nas montanhas de Ararate.

5 As águas continuaram a baixar até o décimo mês, e no primeiro dia do décimo mês apareceram os topos das montanhas.
