Genesis 8:10
וַ יָּחֶל עֹוד שִׁבְעַת יָמִים אֲחֵרִים וַ יֹּסֶף שַׁלַּח אֶת הַ יֹּונָה מִן הַ תֵּבָה
And he is turning-around315 again seven days back,316 and he is adding to send forth317 the dove from-out the Chest.
| 315 | To Rotate, Turn, Whirl, Twist And he turned continually seven days…And he waited again seven days…Comparing verse 10 and 12 we find an interesting contrast. The Church has had a long history of covering pearls like these up. Strong’s #2342, chuwl means to whirl, turn, spin, travail. See note on Genesis 2:11 regarding Havilah. This is a deliberately and uniquely used word in the Hebrew texts. |
