Kejadian 7:4

7:4 For in seven days ⁵  I will cause it to rain ⁶  on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the ground every living thing that I have made.”

Kejadian 7:21

Ulangan 28:63

28:63 This is what will happen: Just as the Lord delighted to do good for you and make you numerous, he ⁸  will take delight in destroying and decimating you. You will be uprooted from the land you are about to possess.

[6:17]  ¹ tn The Hebrew construction uses the independent personal pronoun, followed by a suffixed form of הִנֵּה (hinneh, “look”) and the a participle used with an imminent future nuance: “As for me, look, I am going to bring.”

[6:17]  ² tn Heb “the flood, water.”

[6:17]  ³ tn The verb שָׁחָת (shakhat, “to destroy”) is repeated yet again, only now in an infinitival form expressing the purpose of the flood.

[6:17]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew construction here is different from the previous two; here it is רוּחַ חַיִּים (ruakh khayyim) rather than נֶפֶשׁ הַיָּה (nefesh khayyah) or נִשְׁמַת חַיִּים (nishmat khayyim). It refers to everything that breathes.

[7:4]  ⁵ tn Heb “for seven days yet,” meaning “after [or “in”] seven days.”

[7:4]  ⁶ tn The Hiphil participle מַמְטִיר (mamtir, “cause to rain”) here expresses the certainty of the act in the imminent future.

[7:21]  ⁷ tn Heb “flesh.”

[28:63]  ⁸ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 28:8.
