Genesis 8:1-22
July 18th, 2010
Quick Summary:
God does not forget his promise to Noah, keeps him safe. As the waters recede the ark comes to rest on the mountains of Ararat. It takes months and months for the water to recede enough for dry land to show, and then for it to be dry enough to leave the ark.
Finally the Lord tells Noah to come out of the ark, a full year and 10 days after the rains began. God says to bring out all the animals so they will spread and out multiply on the earth. Noah builds an altar and makes a sacrifice of some of the clean animals, and the Lord then promises he will never strike down every living thing again.
