SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:11
Y la paloma volvió a él a la hora de la tarde; y he aquí que traía una hoja de oliva tomada en su boca; y entendió Noé que las aguas se habían aliviado de sobre la tierra.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 4-12 - The ark rested upon a mountain, whither it was directed by the wise an gracious providence of God, that might rest the sooner. God has time and places of rest for his people after their tossing; and many time he provides for their seasonable and comfortable settlement, withou their own contrivance, and quite beyond their own foresight. God ha told Noah when the flood would come, yet he did not give him an accoun by revelation, at what times and by what steps it should go away. The knowledge of the former was necessary to his preparing the ark; but the knowledge of the latter would serve only to gratify curiosity; an concealing it from him would exercise his faith and patience. Noah sen forth a raven from the ark, which went flying about, and feeding on the carcasses that floated. Noah then sent forth a dove, which returned the first time without good news; but the second time, she brought an oliv leaf in her bill, plucked off, plainly showing that trees, fruit trees began to appear above water. Noah sent forth the dove the second time seven days after the first, and the third time was after seven day also; probably on the sabbath day. Having kept the sabbath with his little church, he expected especial blessings from Heaven, and inquire concerning them. The dove is an emblem of a gracious soul, that finding no solid peace of satisfaction in this deluged, defiling world returns to Christ as to its ark, as to its Noah, its rest. The defiling world, returns to Christ as to its ark, as to its Noah, its rest. The carnal heart, like the raven, takes up with the world, and feeds on the carrion it finds there; but return thou to my rest, O my soul; to the Noah, so the word is, Ps 116:7. And as Noah put forth his hand, an took the dove, and pulled her to him, into the ark, so Christ wil save, and help, and welcome those that flee to him for rest. (God 8:13-19)
