Welcome to my Hebrew reading & language series.
Genesis 7:10-13
Today's passage points us to the date when the waters came, that being the seventeenth day of the second month.
Then we see how the waters came. The fountains of the great deep burst, and the windows of heaven opened. This was the first rain ever.
How do we know it had never rained before? Because if it had, there would have been a rainbow seen at some point. No, Genesis one says that God separated the waters above from the waters below. The heavy canopy of cloud cover that greatly increased our life spans was now falling upon the earth, and the sun would soon be visible to bake our skin and age us.
The sun would also show its light, producing the first rainbow and His promise.
In the video, I point out all markings around the Hebrew letters. Some are vowels, others tell us how to pronounce the consonant (v or b - p or f - s or sh), still others tell us how the word should be chanted in the assembly. As usual, I have the vowel pointings highlighted in yellow, but today I give you an idea what the other markings mean and to what extent they can be ignored.
