Kejadian 8:1-2

8:1 But God remembered ¹  Noah and all the wild animals and domestic animals that were with him in the ark. God caused a wind to blow over ²  the earth and the waters receded. 8:2 The fountains of the deep and the floodgates of heaven were closed, ³  and the rain stopped falling from the sky.

1 Raja-raja 20:3

20:3 He said to him, “This is what Ben Hadad says, ‘Your silver and your gold are mine, as well as the best of your wives and sons.’”

Nehemia 4:14

4:14 When I had made an inspection, ⁴  I stood up and said to the nobles, the officials, and the rest of the people, “Don’t be afraid of them. Remember the great and awesome Lord, ⁵  and fight on behalf of your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your families!” ⁶ 

[8:1]  ¹ tn The Hebrew word translated “remembered” often carries the sense of acting in accordance with what is remembered, i.e., fulfilling covenant promises (see B. S. Childs, Memory and Tradition in Israel [SBT], especially p. 34).

[8:1]  ² tn Heb “to pass over.”

[8:2]  ³ tn Some (e.g., NIV) translate the preterite verb forms in this verse as past perfects (e.g., “had been closed”), for it seems likely that the sources of the water would have stopped before the waters receded.

[4:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “And I saw.”

[4:14]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew term translated “Lord” here is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).

[4:14]  ⁶ tn Heb “houses.”
