Genesi 8:3 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 8:3

And the waters returned from off the earth continually,
&c.] Or "going and returning" F19; they went off from the earth, and returned to their proper places appointed for them; some were dried up by the wind, and exhaled by the sun into the air: and others returned to their channels and cavities in the earth, or soaked into it:

and after the end of the hundred and fifty days, the waters were
abated;
or began to abate, as Jarchi and the Vulgate Latin version; which days are to be reckoned from the beginning of the flood, including the forty days' rain; though Jarchi reckons them from the time of the ceasing of it; so that there were from the beginning of the flood one hundred and ninety days; six months, and ten days of the year of the flood now past; and in this he is followed by Dr. Lightfoot F20: but the former reckoning seems best, and agrees better with what follows.

Genesi 8:3 In-Context

1 Or Iddio si ricordò di Noè, di tutti gli animali e di tutto il bestiame ch’era con lui nell’arca; e Dio fece passare un vento sulla terra, e le acque si calmarono;
2 le fonti dell’abisso e le cateratte del cielo furono chiuse, e cessò la pioggia dal cielo;
3 le acque andarono del continuo ritirandosi di sulla terra, e alla fine di centocinquanta giorni cominciarono a scemare.
4 E nel settimo mese, il decimosettimo giorno del mese, l’arca si fermò sulle montagne di Ararat.
5 E le acque andarono scemando fino al decimo mese. Nel decimo mese, il primo giorno del mese, apparvero le vette dei monti.
