Commentary on Genesis John Calvin
Chapter 8
Genesis 8:1-22
1. And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;
1. Recordatus est autem Deus Noah, et omnis bestiae, et omnis animalis quae erant cum eo in arca: et transire fecit Deus ventum super terram, et quieverunt aquae.
2. The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
2. Et clauserunt se fontes abyssi, fenestraeque coelo.
3. And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
3. Et reversae sunt aquae a superficie terrae, eundo et redeundo, et defecerunt aquae in fine quinquaginta et centum dierum.
