Gen. 7:1–5 On the distinction between clean and not clean creatures, see Lev. 11:1–47 and Deut. 14:4–20. Since after the flood some clean animals will be offered as sacrifices (see Gen. 8:20) and some will be eaten as food (see 9:3), it was necessary to have more than one pair of each kind in the ark.
Gen. 7:11–12 The exact dates given for the flood (see 8:4–5, 13–14) show that it was a real event. all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were opened. From below and above, water poured out to cover the land.
Gen. 7:16 The safety of those in the ark depended on both human and divine action. the Lord shut him in. The use of the personal name “Yahweh” (“Lord”; see note on 2:4) emphasizes God’s special relationship with Noah.
Gen. 7:17–24 the waters prevailed on the earth 150 days (v. 24). The figure of 150 days, which includes the 40 days of rain mentioned in v. 12, is repeated in 8:3 (see chart). In both places it refers to the five-month period between the detailed chronology in 7:11 (at the very start of the flood, on the 17th day of the second month) and 8:4 (when the ark comes to rest on the 17th day of the seventh month). It will be an additional seven months before the land is sufficiently dry for those in the ark to leave it safely (see 8:13–14). On the depth of the flood (above the mountains), see note on 6:17.
