Subject: The raven (Gen 8:7)... |
Bible Note: NASB Genesis 8:7 and he sent out a raven, and it flew here and there until the water was dried up from the earth. '8: 7-12 a raven...a dove. Ravens survive on a broad range of food types. If any food was available outside the ark, the raven could survive. In contrast, a dove is much more selective in its food choices. The dove's choice of food would indicate that new life had begun to grow; thus Noah and his family could also survive outside the ark.'
