Bible Question: when was the first rain in the Bible? |
Bible Answer: Hello Bfish, In Genesis we find the first record of rain. In 2:5, we're told, " Now no shrub of the field was yet in the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for the LORD God had not sent rain upon the earth...," (NASB) In Gen. 7:4, God decrees, "For after seven more days, I will send rain on the earth forty days and forty nights;...". Then, in 7:10-12, we read- "It came about after the seven days, that the water of the flood came upon the earth. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened. The rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights." (NASB) I hope this helps, BradK |
