Today as we read, notice that Noah did not have to go out and get any animals. They came to him and went into the ark with him.
Secondly, the fact that God shut the door behind him (behind Noah), and in the same sentence, we have the flood coming, the waters increasing, and the ark rising off the ground.
I believe that the flood came about quickly. The rain in combination with the springs of the deep opening made sure of that.
In the video, I point out vowels in yellow.. We also have to start thinking about genders for people and things in Hebrew because each number, adjective (color, size, etc.) and verb (action) changes based on the gender. That is clearly seen in today's passage. See the Hebrew according to kind of -gender- and note the difference.
You may notice the familiar vav or hey at the end of each. Hebrew words change quite a bit based on gender and number. The clarity and quantity of information contained in one Hebrew word sometimes requires a paragraph, page or even book to convey English. I hope to write more on that as we encounter it.
Please hit the DTube video link below and read the above passage with me in Hebrew.
