Commentary on Genesis John Calvin (continued)
JOHN CALVIN
11. And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah
11. Et venit ad eum columba tempore vespertimo, et ecce, folium olivae raptum erat in ore ejus, et cognovit Noah quod extenuatae essent aquae a superficie terrae. knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
12. And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
12. Et expectavit adhuc septem alios, et misit columbam: et non addidit ut reverteretur ad cum amplius.
13. And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month,
13. Et fuit, primo et sexcentesimo anno, primo mense, in prima mensis, siccatae sunt aquae a superficie terrae: removit autem Noah operimentum arcae, et vidit, et exxe siccata erat facies terrae. the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.
14. And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
14. Et in mense secundo, in septima et vicesima die mensis, aruit terra.
15. And God spake unto Noah, saying,
15. Loquutus est autem Deus ad Noah, dicendo,
16. Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
16. Egredere ex arca, tu, et uxor tua, et filii tui, et uxores filiorum tuorum tecum.
