Genesis 8:14

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Genesis 8:14. And in the second month,

Nearly two months Noah waited for the complete drying of the earth.

Genesis 8:14. On the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.

"The face of the ground was dry" in the first month; "the earth was dried," the second month. Noah might have thought it was dry enough before; but God did not think so, there was enough mud to breed a pestilence, so Noah must wait until God had made the earth ready for him.
